Best. Idea. Ever.

In Berkeley, CA

In the soon-ending search for a school to continue my studies at, I ended up out in Berkeley, CA. Greets everyone, it’s incredibly nice weather here. 75 degrees? Yowza. Granted it’s no snowy paradise, but I’ll give the sunny atmosphere some midwestern cred regardless.

Here’s a pic of the Berkeley Marina by my hotel in good ol’ camera phone photographic quality—

After the Graduate Program intro this morning, I went out to the Golden Gate Park in San Francisco to check out a few sites. Basically: gigantic park, lots of stuff to see, wish I had more time. I picked up a gyro right outside the park, and that was that. Great afternoon indeed.

Bacon Hot Dog

In an effort to pair bacon with every known food to man, I concocted a bacon beef hot dog combo that is set to correlate itself with higher rates of heart attacks as well as increased happiness by those that indulge in the bacony-beefy-tastiness.

Ingredients are as follows

Oscar Mayer (or similar) All Beef Hot Dog
Bun (white or wheat)
Bacon strips (2 per dog)
Spicy Honey Mustard
Large, uncloggable arteries

Notice the lack of ketchup—in full Chicago dog style, this hottie has no ketchup. The sodium rich red-saucy sauce has been replaced by sodium-saturated bacon. The trade off is worth it.

Directions

After a hearty breakfast including a waffle, bacon and eggs, save a few slices of bacon for the future—place them in the fridge—nothing beats a good snack of leftover bacon even if you don’t make bacon hot dogs.
Cook up your dogs—preferably on the grill. Boiling or microwave will suffice as well
Scorch that bun if you’re grilling out, nothin’ beats a nicely toasted bun. Don’t forget to coat the inside (and outside if you’re so inclined) with butter. No margarine ladies. Margarine is bad for you anyways. Takes less than 1min on a hot grill
Take your bacon slices out of the fridge and zap em in the microwave until the sizzle like when they were first panned up
Place one slice of bacon on each side of the dog
Lay down the line—a line of mustard, that is.
Enjoy!

A picture for your eyes only—notice the carrots—those are a good side for those that are trying to stay healthy.

Recently posted some camping pictures in the gallery involving the Rochester crowd. Check them out—

Check it. Yes, those are Bigg3ie’s legs.
In addition I will be posting some sweet stuff in the coming week. New pictures from the previous semester and books I have finished/will be finishing are first up. You (yes you) might be in one of them. Ridiculous.
Other bloggable things to look forward to—

UW Madison study places
Premiere State Street and surrounding area restaurants
Pictures of food that I enjoy eating

Until then, go outside.

Bacon Waffle Booyah

pk — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 05:59:58 +0000

I made a couple bacon waffles on Monday, as a test run. To recall, the bacon waffle is a waffle with baked-in-bacon-pieces, and sprinkled bacon pieces on top.

Not bad, I must say. However, I do prefer the onslaught of sugar inherent within a solid (as in tight) chocolate-chip (as in dark or milk) waffle with bacon as a side. Ain’t nothin’ better.

Next on the list of breakfast items to explore will be Oscar Mayer’s Center-Cut Bacon. Will it decrown Hormel Black label, my bacon of choice? Is the “cut” in weight of Center-Cut’s 12oz package vs. the traditional 16oz worth it?
Stay tuned.
