Tuesdays are a come and go day, so we have to eat in shifts. The first shift had 'the picky one', Harry, aka the crippled child, aka Crippleboy Swag. He gave himself the last name, can you tell? Well, the picky one ate it!!! Hey Mikey, he liked it! Bing! Score 1 for the home team.
Next up was Hopson, I just wanted him to taste it to let me know if he liked it or not. He stood over the pot and ate his. Peggy (GiGi) I didn't really just write that, you just think I did... :) Score 2!
Henry, the bottomless pit, was the next one in line. I have never seen a skinny 8 year old eat as much as he does. He almost eats as much as Hoppy, it is kinda gross, but he's like a little heater so I know he's burning it off. He ate it, but left the tomatoes. That's not a full point only half, but he asked for his fruit & veggie, because I didn't have it ready. He ate 2 servings of salad...and I'm giving myself another half point for that.
I have eaten and like it, but I don't think I count because I cooked it. (I knew I would like it while she was cooking it.) Let me know what you think.
Elizabeth is the next victim. She liked it, but took a break from eating it because she said it was a little too spicy. It has a ton of pepper in it from the bacon.
Hoppy is last, as usual, on Tuesdays during football season. He had 2 huge helpings...but was this because he was hungry or because he liked it? It's both. He's my honest to a fault child. It's my fault he is like this. When I would ask Hopson if something I wore was ugly or made me look fat, he always says 'it looks great', so I would ask Hoppy & he would always tell me the truth...nice some days, not so nice others.
Ok, so that's home team 5 for 5. I asked the kids if they would like this in the rotation of foods I cook. They all said yes, but next time I will take some of the pepper off the bacon so it's not so spicy.

Since this recipe's main ingredient is bacon, I've included a link to Jim Gaffigan's bit in his comedy routine that is about bacon, it's absolutely hilarious!!! I think it's on King Baby. He's clean, so your kids can watch it too.
