Fitting nicely in line with my all-time life goal of “Eat More Meals Containing the Word ‘Smothered.’ ”
Leeks Smothered in Bacon
This was the easiest recipe ever. You basically fry up a bunch of bacon, then saute some leeks, crumble up the bacon and put it on top. I added some ‘shrooms, tomaters and a coupla snow peas, but only cuz we had em on hand and they were reaching the end of their fridge life expectancy.

Served with couscous from the box and a pair of Alaskan Amber Ales. Scrumptious.

Pre-ski trip chow, to give us energy for the EIGHT HOUR (round trip) drive to Kirkwood we’re facing tomorrow. Alarms are set for 4:35am, which isn’t really that big of a deal for me because I get up at 3:50am when I work the 5-5 shift, however Earl is in for a jolt. The smart money says he takes a snooze tomorrow while I drive :P
ps- Linus even got in on some bacon action.
