"If Something Doesn't Taste Good, We Put Bacon on It."

In today's Chicago Sun-Times, ace food journalist Leah A. Zeldes meets all your bacon needs. She examines trendy bacon cookbooks, lists bacon-oriented blogs, offers bacon recipes, and compiles a glossary of baconspeak.

I tasted her Bacon Brittle. It was delicious.

And then there's Pig Candy . . .

Cover bacon strips thickly with a mixture of brown sugar and finely chopped pecans. Bake until the bacon is cooked and the sugar melted. Cool.

Well, cool!

However, that is *not* Pig Candy. I got Pig Candy from the Sweet Potato Queen's Book of Love (I believe; it's one of the Sweet Potato Queen book). They are high-lariously funny unless you're a prig, and full of really naughty good things to eat.
