makin' bacon

Life without bacon is...

just wrong.

Save the nasty pigs-being-

sent-to-slaughter documentaries...

sure I will be grossed-out

and vow

never to eat meat again...

(if I don't know it's name...

how it was

fed...how it spent its days gloriously

roaming the farm)

but

that can't possibly include

bacon...

right?!

Books are dedicated to bacon...

comedy routines are exclusively bacon...

everything...even chocolate is 

better with

bacon.

You may be asking yourself,

How does a vegan (even a 90/10 vegan)

come to terms with that?

I am fortunate enough to have stumbled on

an episode of Vegan Mash-Up

which featured

Making Bacon.

Tofu bacon.

Now before you turn up your nose

let me add

that my boys were stealing pieces from my plate

because it's that

damn good.

AND sooo easy you won't believe it.

Slice extra firm tofu (drained) very thin.

Have the skillet getting hot with

2 Tablespoons Canola

so that when you put it in the pan

you hear the sizzle.

Flip at 10 minutes when it has browned

and "fry" for another 4 minutes.

Sprinkle with 2 T Nutritional Yeast

2 T Tamari or soy sauce

1 T Liquid smoke.

Give it a stir.

Transfer to plate or serve immediately.

You're not eating Wilbur

and your taste buds

won't know the difference.

Amazing.

Really.

Crispy on the outside

a bit chewy on the in...

Give it a try.

You won't be disappointed.

That's Vegan Mash-Up.

Find it on your local listings.

It's a good thing.

BTW...

Did you happen to notice those delectable 

onion rings?

Head on over to PPK

Post Punk Kitchen

for the recipe.

BLT's and Onion Rings.

I was being worshiped by the 

men in my house.
