Saturday was Jolene Day International Bacon Day.
I grabbed this months Food Network magazine insert (which was clearly made for me) and chose a recipe:
I went with the Bacon Fried Rice:
It was even better topped with Sriracha.
I had some family over for a hotdog roast on Sunday.
We had veggie skewers and Mediterranean potato salad on the side.
Dessert included burnt grapes and s'mores.
Needless to say, it was a great long-weekend.
When was the last time that you roasted a hotdog or a marshmallow? How do you like 'em cooked? Burnt? Golden? Exploding?

Deep dish baked smores bars is the last recipe/time I had roasted marshmallows and i actually mentioned in that post (1 week ago) that it has been about 10 yrs since ive had a campfire-roasted marshmallow...too long!
so crazy! I still haven't had a smores this "summer"...and it's already starting to cool off...
I like 'em both golden. It's been forever since I've roasted either one though!
Bacon and rice... oh what a beautiful combination. he he
The last time I roasted a marsmellow was last year. I need to do that asap!
ooo didn't even know of this holiday! I do love bacon but only if it is uncured!
I roasted marshmallows several times this summer! oh bliss
everything is better topped with Sriracha!
wow I haven't had a s'more in SO long. looks yummy! I hope you had a nice long weekend!
Looks like you had a very fun weekend! Have a great week:)
I haven't roasted anything since I was 10 years old! Not I want a 'dog though - with ketchup, mustard and relish!...and a beer ;)
Thank you for your tremendous support. I haven't decided what I'm going to do...I'm just worried because I've wrote a lot of personal (nutty) things I know about my food issues, depression, etc. - and if anyone who actually knows me found out...it would be so weird :( I don't know. No pressure though. Maybe a new name, we'll see.
I actually just cooked both hot dogs and smores over a campfire a few weeks ago, for the first time in a loong time. It was so fun. I like my hot dogs on the burnt side, marshmellows not so much.
I roasted some about 2 weeks ago with my cousins (girls, age 3 and 5). I forgot how "horrific" it is for them to catch on fire, haha. The 3 of us all preferred them golden brown :-)
Ohhh goodness....I would have to say its been over 13 years since I roasted anything on a stick!!
These look FAB! I love them slightly burnt :) Mmm
xxoo
I am pretty upset that I missed this holiday. My boyfriend will be DEVASTATED that he missed this holiday. Or he'll just try to celebrate it extra hard, extra late :D Those burnt grapes look SO COOL!
What a fun weekend! I love my hot dogs and marshmallows real toasty! Probably closer to the burnt side of things!
ooooh bacon :) just had some yesterday for the first time in MONTHS. far too long.
i've made my own chocolate covered bacon before. VERY delicious.
last time i raosted a marshmallow/hotdog...a couple weeks ago while camping in the Cascade Mts.
bacon day! Um, can we say favorite holiday?
I need s'mores. I need to find gluten-free graham crackers.
Mmm.. bacon. :) That fried rice looks really yummy. I love how bacon can really enhance the flavor of dishes!! My fave is a bacon wrapped date. Mmm.. Delish.
I like my mashmallows golden-to-dark brown, and gooey in the middle. I found gluten free graham crackers at target, so I am all set to s'mores. :) Which I will have this weekend when I visit my friend Nora!
I can't believe I missed International Bacon Day!! I need that magazine insert immediately!!!
We made smores all summer....it's a must-eat at the cabin.
oh yea i most definitly admire BACON!
