But I keep forgetting to do my 100 things for recipes so let me whip up a tasty meal for Valentine's Day (even though I loathe it).
First while these are supposed to be sort of diabetic friendly most of these aren't (points to the holiday). In fact this first one is the
farthest thing from healthy are you can imagine. No this is where you decide to give zero fucks about that and indulge in an absolute orgy of bad deliciousness. And you can thank Alton Brown! I'm not going to include this in my recipes because I'm strictly link you to HIS blog. It's fatty. It's salty. It's sugary. It has nitrites. That's right. It's BACON. Bacon covered in brown sugar and if you think that sounds gross, you're wrong. You couldn't be more wrong. I never knew I could eat a pound of bacon in one sitting. I didn't want to know that. I practically need a muzzle to stop myself.
DO play with the recipe
lacquered bacon I have found in my oven 400 is too hot. If you have ever worked with sugar you know it's a fine line between browning it and burning it to hell and gone. I backed the heat down to about 385
So you have your appetizer. Here are a few entrees to pick from:
( 100 things #29 Montalcino Chicken )If that is too much work you can try
( 100 things #30 gnocchi with prosciutto )or if you want to go completely vegetarian AND diabetic friendly you could try (hey look in American and European measurements)
( 100 things #31Baked Tofu with Peanut Sauce )And what's a romantic dinner without dessert? Another diabetic cookbook recipe but it's still good.
( 100 things #32 Cherry Chocolate Bread Puddings )Now to be perfectly honest, if I have to live in Pomeroy I think I might rather have
this house At least I get a great view of the river that will eventually murder me. It's 35 miles from work and about 25 from Athens
this house is nice. I need it to be several thousand cheaper and I don't actually like open floor plans (as in I kinda hate them but I could live with this one) It's 47 miles from work but about 15 from Athens
And a bonus song. I've liked this one but never saw the video. It's a good reminder no matter how bad we have it, it can worse. I had CF patients. Most never even made it to 30. It's horribly sad.

And oddly this Bon Jovi song I'm listening to now that I've never heard before is oddly appropriate (points down)
