- So, in the last show,
0:05
I baked a cake, a pound cake.
0:08
And I told y'all that there would be two more recipes
0:11
to follow that was gonna involve my pound cake,
0:15
and this is one of them.
0:17
And it's candied bacon.
0:20
And I mistakenly went ahead
0:23
and started putting everything in the bowl
0:25
before we even started.
0:27
So I've got brown sugar, I've got cinnamon,
0:30
and I've got cracked black pepper.
0:36
So I'm just gonna mix these things up.
0:43
Okay, and it was a fourth of a cup of brown sugar,
0:48
one and a half teaspoons of cinnamon,
0:49
and a half a teaspoon of the ground black pepper.
0:54
So, I want to use nice bacon for this.
0:58
And I actually want to
1:02
use a thicker sliced bacon.
1:04
And I'm just gonna pat that in there,
1:09
pat that on my bacon on both sides.
1:19
And I have a foil-lined pan
1:25
that I'm gonna bake this in the oven.
1:28
So there's the first piece.
1:30
I love, I love baking my bacon in the oven,
1:35
it's just so much easier.
1:37
But when you're coating this,
1:41
you have to cook this in the oven
1:45
because you couldn't fry that
1:46
because all the stuff would come off, right?
1:52
And we're just gonna cook this
1:54
until it's nice and crisp.
1:55
And that'll probably take about 25 minutes.
1:58
I've got my oven preheating at
2:10
Like I said, you just wanna pat it on real good,
2:17
just like this, easy peasy.
2:21
Now the only restaurant
2:24
that we serve breakfast is located in Pigeon Forge
2:27
on the island, Paula Deen's Family Kitchen.
2:31
And I'm telling you what,
2:33
it is the best breakfast in the whole world
2:39
there on the island in Pigeon Forge.
2:42
And we serve a sugared bacon,
2:45
a caramelized bacon there for breakfast.
2:48
So if you're up there,
2:50
make sure, you know, we serve breakfast, lunch,
2:52
and dinner at that location.
2:55
But try one morning to just get there
2:59
and sample that breakfast.
3:01
It will blow your mind. It's so good.
3:04
And the items on the menu,
3:07
you will not find in any other restaurant anywhere,
3:12
because there are more things
3:14
that just came out of my kitchen
3:15
that I like for breakfast, lunch, brunch.
3:20
So you'll be surprised at your options, I think.
3:23
Anyway, I'm gonna get this in the oven, maybe 25 minutes.
3:26
I'll just keep a close eye on it.
3:36
I better get the timer, Eddie,
3:39
and set it because I could...
3:42
I could forget, I know y'all find that hard to believe
3:46
that I could get to talking.
3:50
And speaking of talking.
3:55
Okay, there we go, 25 minutes.
3:59
I want to share with y'all my last book signing.
4:03
I've got a book signing tomorrow actually there.
4:06
But at the Lady and Sons set, my last book signing,
4:09
a couple came in there
4:11
and they were kind of right there at the tail end.
4:14
In fact, I think we were already...
4:18
We'd already kinda shut down.
4:20
I can't remember, Eddie, but it seems like we had.
4:22
But I met this most wonderful couple,
4:26
and their names were Charlie
4:30
and his wife's name was Anne,
4:32
and I think he pronounces his last name Supplee.
4:38
Well, let me get this out of my hands
4:42
because Charlie said,
4:44
"You know, I contacted you one time
4:47
because I wanted to make a board for you,
4:50
like a charcuterie board or a cutting board."
4:56
Well this came in the mail today, y'all.
5:00
And Charlie sent me a note.
5:04
So anyway, he had tried to get my address
5:08
and nobody responded to him, which is most unusual.
5:13
So I don't know how long ago that was.
5:17
I would love to have a piece of your homemade craft
5:27
Carrabelle Custom Woodwork.
5:32
And Eddie, I don't think I can.
5:36
All right, Carrabelle,
5:55
This print is hard for me to read.
5:58
It doesn't stand out on that card too much,
6:03
and it's out of, the wood is a sapele,
6:10
which I'm not familiar with.
6:12
It looks like it's S-E-P-E-L-E.
6:22
And it is just beautiful, Charlie.
6:25
So thank you, Charlie.
6:27
Thank you so much for my beautiful gift.
6:35
So, this is the second recipe.
6:39
Now you got your pound cake
6:41
and now you've got your sugared bacon.
6:44
And, then we got our third little recipe.
6:50
I wonder what we're gonna do with that.
6:53
Love and best dishes, y'all.
6:55
This sugared bacon will make you cry.
