Honey Harbour - Brousseau Island Baconater Party

At an island get together, last time I was here, the decision to have a bacon only party was conceived (there was some alcohol consumed during this decision making process). I was lucky enough to be back to Aimee and Greg's on the assigned date. The rules were simple: the dish served had to include bacon. There was some discussion of a simultaneous rum tasting but that was never actually made official.

We began at Heather and Rich's with water chestnuts, wrapped in bacon, served with plum sauce.

Followed by dates stuffed with Gorgonzola cheese and wrapped in bacon. It was getting
difficult to pace myself already.

Next stop, Mark and Nicci's for

cheese and bacon twists and

cucumber and bacon salad.

We were slowing down already with only two cottages completed and two to go. Nicci and Mark swam over to Greg and Aimee's to recover from the heat in their cottage caused by having the oven on.

It was a "black tie affair" so we drew a tie on Greg with a marker and painted it with
some of the kids glitter paints.

At Aimee and Greg's we served bacon, mac and cheese potato chips with horseradish/bacon
dip on the deck. Then a cream cheese and dill spread on baguette with bacon jam.
Seriously, bacon jam!

Next was bacon lasagna and

water chestnuts wrapped in bacon.

We had cooked everything on the BBQ so as not to heat up the cottage. We were really slowing down now, lots of cheese, bacon, alcohol, feeling like we needed a nap so Doug, Greg, Aimee and I swam to the next cottage.

Next Al and Mary's for dessert.

Crepes with flambéd peaches and ice cream with bacon crumbled on top
and bacon apple cobbler.

There were jokes about the Ornge helicopter circling above with a defibrillator at the ready.

Kelsey made it around the whole route with nothing but a couple of dog biscuits.

Al didn't "get the memo", cancelling the rum part, so we were treated to a lovely,
aged rum to sip on and end the evening.

More jokes that the next progressive dinner party should be recipes including squirrel as there are an abundance on the island this year and they're becoming a problem. (Maybe it wasn't a joke).

The evening ended with a fabulous sunset and

we were in bed early, groaning with very full stomachs.
