Must See TV
Must watch TV if your into travel and food. Bizarre_Foods with Andrew Zimmern show on the Travel channel and Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations also on the Travel channel.
Zimmerman's show is terriffic. He eats some really fucked up shit, always thinks it's good (for the most part) and really educates the viewers on the culture behind the fucked up food.
Bourdain's is a bit more focused on more normal eats and relative culture in other aspects.

Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
Try this and get back to me. Never tried them:
Bacon chocolate chip cookies-
3/4 cup butter(It has been suggested that using 1 full cup of butter works best due to cookie dough dryness)
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon hazelnut (or almond) extract *Edit- It has been suggested that the almond flavouring may be overpowering to the flavour of the cookie, feel free to add this ingredient to taste*
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg (It has been suggested that using 2 eggs works best due to cookie dough dryness)
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups bacon bits (if preferred, you can separate the dough into two parts and only make half of the dough into bacon cookies, in which case you'll only want to use 1 cup bacon bits)
Also, you can make your own bacon bits, just make sure you pat down the bacon chunks with paper towels to remove as much extra bacon grease as possible. *Edit* one of my readers made their own bacon bits and found out that apparently it takes about 2lbs of bacon to make 2 cups of bacon bits, just for future reference.
Directions-
preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit.
Beat together the butter, sugars, flavouring and eggs until creamy. In another bowl, sift together the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and stir together. Dough will be slightly soft. If you want a cakier cookie, add another half cup of flour. Add in chocolate chips and bacon bits. Stir until well integrated. Place dough on a sheet of waxed paper and refrigerate at least an hour. Remove dough from fridge, pinch off 1 1/2 inch pieces of dough and roll into balls. Set dough balls about 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten dough balls slightly with your fingers in the center.
Bake cookies for about 10 minutes, or until the dough starts to turn golden brown. Allow cookies to cool on a cooling rack while you ready the glaze.
Maple cinnamon glaze-
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tablespoon maple extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon *edit- it has been suggested that 1 teaspoon may be a bit much, so go ahead and add to taste*
enough water to make a thick glaze (I used about 3 tablespoons)
Mix all ingredients together until smooth and creamy. If lumpy, use a whisk.
Spread a small amount of the glaze on the top of each cookie and top with a small piece of crisp cooked bacon.

Chain Steakhouse?
Let's get Outback tonight.
Outback, more times than none has been pretty good. Steaks are cooked to order, not over seasoned, the sides are all quality and the beer in the 22oz draft cup is ice cold and not a bad price. Pair that with the warm pumpernickel bread and crazy coconut shrimp, it's a solid B. Definetly one of the better chains, that's for sure.

What I'm making
Instead of what I ate yesterday, since I'm off for two weeks and cooking frequently I figured I'd write about what I'm making on each day.
Today is mini-burgers (70-30 sirloin) on potato buns. Regular fries, corn on the cob and OLD BAY fries. OLD BAY is a seafood seasoning that I love. Usually used on crabs or shrimp. I know you've had it before, try it on sone golden fried fresh cut fries. They are wonderful.

Today's Menu
Today I'm making Basil Chicken w/tomatoes over rice or macaroni. I haven't decided yet. Fresh Basil is very versatile. For the Monday night game I got some pigs in a blanket and wings of course. These are different though, not that I'm sick of them but all summer I've eaten Hto Wings, this time I'm switching it up to some Honey BBQ jumpoff ones. I still put some heat in the sauce though. Yes the sauce is homeade I'll post the recipe one day. But in it I add a couple of penos to turn up the heat.

Friday night
Friday night we went to this place. We've been there before so we knew the menu relatively well, the atmosphere is what this place is all about. It sits on the Brooklyn waterfront and has tremendous views of New York City.
Friday night I had the Poblano's Relleno which in english is a stuffed Poblano Pepper.
It was stuffed with Braised Short Rib Beef smothered with smoked Gouda cheese. And while I like smoked gouda it was too overpowering. I wanted to taste the beef, the spices and the inside of the pepper. Instead I tasted smoked gouda. It was disappointing. My wife's enchilada's were off the hook though so the place won't get the X mark. The margarita's, salsa, guacomole and the views are reason enough to go there again and again.
Afterwards we here a loungue we frequent often. Especially since my sister in-law works there. I had a couple of scotch soda's and we hung out. My wife got plastered. It was a nice night.
