To answer Alex, yeah, 1/4 cup plus 7 tablespoons is 1/2c plus 3T. Or 3/4 c minus 1 T. Or 5.5 oz, if you have one of those measuring cups. Whichever you prefer. (*leaves to go buy bacon*)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but 1/4 cup plus 7 tablespoons is the same as 1/2 cup plus three tablespoons, yeah?

Someone once told me that there is no food that doesn't taste better with bacon or chocolate. I have not yet found anything to prove them wrong. We've been a big fan of chocolate & bacon every since we stumbled upon the Vosges Mo's Bacon Bar. Mmmmm ... but your truffles sound better. Off to the store to pick up some heavy cream and bacon!

Lili - I use a canon point and shoot and take pictures outside under a shady tree. =)

Between this blog, the Simply Recipes one, and a few others I now either have in my pantry, or on my grocery list: Vanilla Beans, Rosewater, Dried Figs, and Italian Tuna in oil. All items I have never used before this year.

The writing, the photography, all very enjoyable. Do you do the photos yourself? And are they taken indoors or out?

Anyway, keep up the good work.

A P.S. on the Rosewater. I made Panna Cotta using my last Vanilla Bean, and 2 teaspoons of Rosewater. I thought it was amazing. It tasted like roses smell.

This is why I love you.

Also, your maple-bacon cupcakes are what got me hooked on your blog last year, and YES you WERE le originale!

Garrett, you know this is porn for foodies. I'm dying after looking at those pictures of bacon! Please share with us where you purchase that lovely stuff.

Interesting idea. I've noticed more and more lately that bacon has been inserting itself into dishes I wouldn't otherwise have thought of. A friend of mine recently baked a bacon and apple pie.

Bacon and chocolate seems to be the new cool thing in food recently. Several weeks ago, I bought one of these (http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/bacon_exotic_candy_bar/exotic_candy_bars) at Dean & Deluca in St. Helena, just because it sounded weird (and it was). A few days later I saw the same candy bar featured on a Food Network show. I have a feeling the dark chocolate truffle might be better than the milk chocolate bar... less rich perhaps?

I have been loving the bacon and chocolate and bacon in sweets idea since I started eating bacon again in fall 2007 (I even remember the day...). I've been putting it in everything I can think of since then. I've never made truffles, partially b/c I used to be under the whole "If I won't like it, I won't make it" but maybe I need to be less selfish and start making things other people would like... But I don't know that I would be able to part w/ chocolate and bacon. If I subbed a darker milk chocolate, think it would work w/this truffle? I REALLY don't like dark chocolate and I know that milk chocolate covered bacon is delicious...

No problem! I had a feeling it was a copy & paste issue since the curry showed up. (And I can't imagine tackling your regular daily schedule + blogging!) Loving the bacon idea, yummm. Give me sweet and salty any day of the week.

Sorry about the recipe hiccups. I wrote this at 2 am. The new school schedule has me working or in class 13 hours a day M-Th. Need sleep.

Wait, where does the bacon go? Or am I crazy - because I don't see it in the instructions. (Mix into the ganache?)
