Lunch Box 620: Bacon abuse
Mary Schmich wrote "Do one thing every day that scares you." Today I took her advice and packed a lunch featuring bacon tempura. That's deep-fried, breaded bacon. Not no fool turkey bacon either - real, greasy, swine-type bacon. I got the idea from something I saw on TV about a place that sold dishes of deep-fried bacon. At the time I screamed in horror at the sight of those plates of greasy death. But, a few months later, I had the urge to make tempura, and after the bacon chocolate chip cookies, I could hardly resist battering a few slices of bacon.
Surrounding is are relatively-healthy avocado maki, edamame, roasted chestnuts, and persimmon.
