In the Chicago Tribune’s food section today was a recipie for bacon-fried corn. It actually sounds really good, but what doesn’t when made with bacon. I reprint it here for two reasons 1) so I don’t lose it and 2) so MARK NOTARUS, who has eaten bacon-wrapped bacon, can see it.

What thunderbird needs to replace mutt for me

In my reading of the Trib this morning, I came across two articles that blew my mind.
