[No] Cooking & Food Log.

No actual cooking this week, at least by me, as we're on the road and back in the States, where I'm indulging/overindulging in all those things unavailable or hard to get in Liberia.  Trying not to go to nuts - and the scale [while never the best indicator of all things, can be useful] - is holding steady for now.  So there's that.

Most indulgent, over the top bit was probably this...

Bonus points for unintentionally color coordinating my Fight Club tshirt with my beer.

Voodoo Doughnut out in Oregon is known for their maple bacon doughnut bar, so those crafty bastards at Rogue Ale came up with the Bacon Maple Ale.  I can't quite decide if it's things like this that make America great or, instead, will doom us all.  Either way, tasty beer, and yes, you could taste the bacon.  Awesome.

Rogue Ales:

"Rogue Ales has collided with Voodoo Doughnut to create Bacon Maple Ale! This unique artisan creation contains a baker’s dozen number of ingredients including bacon and maple syrup from one of Voodoo’s signature doughnuts.

13 Ingredients:  Briess Cherrywood Smoked Malt, Weyermann Beechwood Smoked Malt, House-smoked Hickory Malt, Great Western 2 Row, Munich, C15, C75 Malts; Applewood-Smoked Bacon, Pure Maple Flavoring, Rogue Micro Hopyard Revolution & Independent Hops, Free Range Coastal Water & Pacman Yeast."

The Maple Bacon doughnut bar that inspired...

...this tasty brew.
