Blue Cheese and Bacon
October 13th, 2009
Okay, I may have just created the single best food I have ever eaten. If you like blue cheese, you may want to start taking notes.
Take a chunk of blue cheese, any of the stronger varieties will do. The more blue veining, the better. Mix this with about an equal amount of cream cheese. If at all possible, make this real cream cheese rather than the stuff you buy as a brick in the supermarket. Stir in half and half cream until the cheese becomes smooth rather than chunky. Set this aside.
Chop ten or twelve slices of bacon into bits. Get it from a butcher, and make sure that it is thick meaty bacon. Fry it until it is crispy, then remove it from the bacon fat. Mince a half a bulb of garlic and saute it in a little of the bacon grease. Chop a handful of fresh chives. Add the bacon, garlic, and chives to the cheese micture.
Mix everything thoroughly. Put it about an inch deep into ramekans or a cassarole dish. Bake at 350 degrees until it gets nice and bubbly. Eat it in whatever way you usually convey dip to your mouth. If you do not love this, courier it to me. I might even pay your postage.

It does sound nice, but ham and some mashed potatoes with the skins still on sounds like ti would be of more substance to the dish.
