June 13, 2011 Potato

One of the best things about being a food blogger is that friends keep sending me great recipes to try.  This weekend, thanks to Jen, I tried out this Martha Stewart recipe. Ironically, Jen appeared to be unaware of my love affair with meat candy (a.k.a. bacon), almost apologizing for the “unhealthy” ingredient.  I chuckled at that, then showed her my bacon tattoo Two-Bean [...]
