BaconFest 2014 - Mark your calendars!
« on: February 01, 2014, 09:05:09 PM »
The Rehabilitation Institute of Kansas City's annual BaconFest will be held the afternoon of Saturday, August 23, 2014. The word on Bacon Street is that the event will be held at Union Station.

Tickets go on sale July 1. Advance tickets are $40; beginning August 1, ticket prices increase to $50 each.

I plan to attend. Who want to meet me in Kansas City for CC Bacon and Beer Party II: Electric Boogaloo?

Thanks to the admins for pinning this thread.

I posted this thread early to give anyone who is interested time to make plans. I plan to ride over to Kansas City Friday, and head for home Sunday morning.

I'm gonna be offline more than usual for a while. I'm putting together a self-publish of my Dad's WW1 diary with some help of some folks over at Military History Online.

Looking thru some of Dad's memorabilia, I came across this old post card of the Kansas City Union Station when it was first built.

This recipe sound SOOOOOOOOO good, it belongs in a sticky....

Bacon Wrapped BBQ Country Ribs

Adapted from this recipe I found on the Just A Pinch website, these bacon wrapped ribs are seriously good and just made for dutch oven cooking.  Really, is there anything that doesn’t taste better when wrapped in bacon?  Juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, applewood smoked bacon paired with a hickory barbecue sauce made for a winning combination.  In my 10 inch dutch oven, I started with 10 coals in a ring around the base of the oven with 26 briquettes on the lid.  I left them alone and in spite of the wind and chilly temperatures, in one hour the steam was pouring from my oven and they were perfectly done.  This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, depending on the size of your oven.  Just be sure to bake them in one layer and don’t cover them with too much sauce, you want the bacon exposed to the heat, otherwise it will become soggy.

(snip)

5 pork country ribs
10 slices uncooked bacon
1 1/2 cups barbecue sauce
toothpicks

     Lightly oil or spray dutch oven.
     Cover bottom of dutch oven with half of barbecue sauce.
     Wrap each rib with two slices of bacon; secure bacon with toothpicks.
     Place ribs in single layer in dutch oven.
     Spoon remaining sauce evenly over ribs.
     Ribs should not be swimming in sauce.
     Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until bacon is crisp on top and ribs are tender.
     Recipe can easily be doubled and baked in larger dutch oven.

That would be cool, because I wanna shake your hand and buy you a cup of coffee. Or something with a bit of kick to it.

Not sure which way we will go just yet.  I'd like to make a stop by Osceola, MO if time permits.  Home of my ancestry, and of course, the world renowned Osceola Cheese Factory.   :-)
