i went to a bacon party

i went to a bacon party, and i want to make up funny lyrics to the ricky nelson song "garden party" as a result, but that song is too sad.

after seeing the bacon available, i decided to bring the opposite of bacon: a palate-cleansing cucumber and green onion salad, tossed in a keye lime vinaigrette with chili pepper flakes. i only brought this as an antipodal complement to the main fare at hand. i tried four bacon varieties myself, and would have tried more. bacon is a dangerous thing. a dangerous and wonderful thing.

i think the next time i make this salad, i'll put bacon in it. cucumbers are 3/$1 this week at ideal so that might happen soon.

look at the desserts on and around the link above. so good! cake balls!
