Ready For Valentine’s Day?
Well I am, because I’m making bacon roses – and you can too!
I found this on the great website “TheDailyBacon”…and they posted a recipe for how to win your lover’s heart – through the magic of bacon!
It’s so easy: you’ll need: bacon, fake flowers, a muffin tin, toothpicks and tinfoil.
1. Soak the toothpicks in water (this keeps them from charring in the oven). Defrost the bacon. Line the muffin tin with foil. Turn the oven up to 400 degrees.
2. Roll the bacon to look like a rosebud, then stick two toothpicks in the bottom to hold it together.
3. Place the bacon rosebuds in the muffin spaces. The toothpicks should keep them from touching the bottom — you need that space for fat drippings.
4. Put the bacon in the oven. Cook 25-30 minutes.
5. Deconstruct the fake flowers. Pull the entire thing apart, get rid of the petals and put the stem back together.
6. Let the bacon cool, remove the toothpicks and stick the bacon bud onto the plastic stem. Voilà! Salty, crunchy flowers.
I love how simple and fun this is…and as this picture shows you, you can dip a few in chocolate as well!
I’ve got a few other food ideas for you as well:
How about a “love burger?” You can make socially shaped buns from scratch or simply cut one into a heart and toast it a bit – the rest is easy and delicious!
Or perhaps this sausage and egg dish for breakfast?
So many ways to say “I love you” with food!

Open a nice bottle of red and call it a tasty night! Or, go to Marks & Spencer in London and buy some of their unique Valentine’s Day gifts:
Yes, a cucumber grown in a special mold so it looks like a heart!
Here’s another delicious way to celebrate the day – with “Chocolate For Breakfast!”
I made chocolate tacos and baked eggs – using the recipe from my close friend Barbara Passino – click here to see it and find out more about her terrific cookbook!

Happy Valentine’s Day John. I commented on this fun post but again forgot to put my credentials.
I can just see this bacon rose topping a Bloody Mary today.
Best, Bernadette

Julie and I have completely ‘toned down’ valentine’s Day celebrations now. No more gifts or restaurants, and we just exchange cards. I think tomorrow is going to just be ‘Wednesday’. :)
(The food is very clever though)
Best wishes, Pete.
