I've been away from VLC for a long time for extended medical reasons, but I have just returned to it, and thought I'd visit the kitchen forum and found this thread.

I discovered something by accident a couple of months ago. It went like this:

Me: I have pre-cooked bacon strips in the fridge my helper made and left me. But they're cold.

Voice in my head: Dip them in something. Guac!
Me: (no guac)
Voice in my head: Blue cheese dressing!
Me: (no bc dressing)
Voice in my head: Uh. Mustard?
Me: Not unless you also have meat and tomatoes and mayo.
Voice in my head: Hey look! A jar of natural peanut butter!
Me: Ewww! That sounds vile with bacon!
Voice in my head: Bacon is the great equalizer.
Me: Maybe I should just have a few spoons of peanut butter. This is pitiful.
Voice in my head: Why don't you just try some peanut butter on your mini bacon strip?
Me: I am blaming you for this.

...

I ate ALL of it. It's a weird thing but the bacon and the peanut butter together, it brings a sweetness out in the bacon. It is seriously awesome! I had my kid (millennial) try it and she thought it was awesome too.

I don't think that counts as a recipe, I know. :-)

Tomorrow I hope to make a spicy red thai chicken curry but since it takes all day to low cook in the crockpot, maybe I can talk my helper into getting me some bacon so I can have some chicken - bacon - avocado - bluecheese salad. I could pretty much live on those salads (and once half did, while losing tons of weight on VLC actually).
