8 Things You Can Do With Bacon.

A few weeks ago, I challenged someone to a full night of my favorite bar games. Naturally, we placed a bet. Loser cooks the winner dinner. I’m basically the Michael Phelps of shuffleboard, so I thought this would be no problem. I assumed that the night would end with him sobbing in the corner while I do my signature victory dance. For days leading up to the event, all I talked about was how great it will be when he cooks me dinner like the loser that he obviously is.

I was wrong. I lost. I lost at everything. I lost at Jenga. I lost at skeeball. I even lost at Connect Four. CONNECT FOUR, I MEAN, COME ON, IT’S A GAME MADE FOR CHILDREN. Whatever. I lost. Now I have to make him dinner. I’ve been avoiding it since that fateful night, but I know that I’m going to have to swallow my pride and watch him swallow my horrible cooking.

Since I don’t spend much time in the kitchen, I have to find some recipes. If I’m going to have to cook, I’m going to make it something I want to eat…which means it obviously needs to include one ingredient: bacon. I’ve narrowed it down to 10 delicious options. Feel free to help me choose or just steal these for your own delicious needs.

Please note, this is the one and only time I’ll ever be domestic and what I cook won’t be nearly as delicious as the above photos. I can’t cook. I’ve tried, believe me, I’m just terrible at it. I even burn toast. I’ve got several takeout menus handy just in case we need an emergency Kung Pao delivery. Which we will. He should’ve bet that I couldn’t finish a bottle of Bulleit in a weekend and make my life easier.
