Lost in the jungle

This is a little story that my 10 year old son Taylor wrote

I got lost from a tour through the jungle. It sucked. The jungle had all weird smells, sights, and sounds. Then I heard a low growl. I glanced over my shoulder and saw a huge golden lion with a mane like fire.

I bolted straight away from the lion as it chased me. I ran and ran through the maze-like jungle as my heart beated like a fly buzzing as if it had way too much sugar. The maze looked like a maze with no entrance that goes on eternally.

I screamed the word that I thought would be my last, “HELP!”I realized that it was a dream and I really screamed that word. My mom thundered up the stairs and into my bedroom. She complained, “What was that screaming for? “Nightmare?” I said embarrassed.

This is a little story that my 8 year old son Isaac wrote:

If I was the princible for a year I would wake up on the first day. Then i would get a cup of coffee, eat breakfast and go to school.

When I get to school I would make a few changes. The changes are:

– classrooms are now made of candy
– hallways are pools (there is a water protection suit if you don’t like pools)
– play ground is now snowonder land (the snow is warm if you don’t like coldness)
– library now has fun games if you dont want a book
– for lunch there is every kind of food to pick from and its free
– and now there is a corn maze room.

They all say the school is so fun! Some kids say its like a wonder land here!

WTF? Really? Yes, this is real. Bacon pumpkin pie is legit! I’m not obsessed with bacon, really!!

So, I didn’t get too crazy with this and it was rather simple. In the future, I might go for a little more of an elaborate pie. This time around though, I was looking to just get the concept down and see how it works. I ended up making 2 medium sized pies and 3 mini pies out of this batch …

Kobe Bacon Burger

bacon kobe burger I was watching the Food Network and they showed this restaurant called Slater’s 50/50. This place was founded with the idea of creating a burger patty out of 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon. As I was watching, it was hard not to drool. Why hadn’t I thought of this before? Why did this place have to be so far way?

Since I knew I wasn’t going to make it down to Southern Cal anytime soon, I decided I had to try this burger for myself. But where would I get ground bacon? I called around and couldn’t find it anywhere. After a long search I finally found a place in town that I could buy it. Long’s Meat Market said they could sell me some as long as they had a 24 hour notice!

So, I invited my friend Andrew over (another bacon lover like me) and we bought 1lb of ground bacon along with 1lb of kobe beef (American Kobe). We proceeded to mix the two meats together and add in some jalepeno and garlic for good measure.

After we had it all mixed up, we decided to make little sliders out of these burgers and put them on some hawaiian sweet rolls. These were simply amazing! This was by far one of the best burgers that I have ever had. I can’t wait to try it again.

What are Peanut Butter Bacon Rolls you may ask? Well, in a word they are glorious! I enjoy combining different types of foods and trying to come up with something that is unique and tastes great. The orgin of this creation came at a high school youth camp in July of 2010. I don’t remember exactly how it started but I ended up putting some peanut butter on my bacon. Then the next strip I put peanut butter on, added some Sriracha to it (which my good friend Josh brought to camp), and drug it through my syrup …
