Bacon Fest Today

And I can't go. The tickets sold out in 3 minutes on 12/12/12. My wife was on ticket detail- she clicked "confirm" 4 minutes after they went on sale.

Watching the United States of Bacon on Destination America instead. Somehow, it is not the same. :(

Tried to get bacon fest tixs

It sold out in 4 minutes. My wife was on it at sale time. 8000 tickets in 4 minutes. Guess I won't be going in February:(

Edit:
Technically, there are some high level packages left. I'm not spending -that- much. Call me crazy, I can get a whole pig for a lot less....

OMGWTFBBQ

This is actually about BBQ. Or, more importantly, pulled pork. The last 3 weeks I've been trying different pulled pork or chicken abominations recipes.  Some have been better than others. In fact, last weeks chicken would have made a fine chili with just a bit of tomato and a slight reduction in vinegar. This week, it was:

2 lbs boneless pork rib
1/2 lb bacon for flavor
2 pineapple kiddie size cups- my son won't eat them, to I used them to line the bottom of the crock pot
1 cup Stubbs Bourbon Hickory BBQ sauce
1 packet Lipton mushroom+onion soup powder
Brown sugar
Chili 9000

I put the pineapple in the bottom of the crock pot, put the pork on top of that. Mixed the BBQ sauce and soup, poured it on top of the ribs. Layered the bacon to cover the BBQ sauce mix, then covered that with brown sugar and topped with Chili 9000. 10 - 11 hours on low. Do what you want with the bacon- I ate it to get to the pork ;) Most of the pineapple was discarded, the rest mixed with the juice to cover the pulled pork.
