May 31, 2015: Another Bacon Crime Wave! A Cool T-Shirt, and Lou's Garrett Valley Bacon

MY LIFE WITH BACON CONTINUES THIS WEEK with some Bacon on Travel, some Bacon Crime, and a cook of Lou's Garrett Valley bacon.

BACON IN THE NEWS - This week, the bacon crime blotter is full of fun:

A MAN NAMED BACON ARRESTED FOR ASSAULT IN A SAUSAGE DISPUTE:
"A Madison man whose last name is Bacon, ironically, was arrested for assaulting another person during a dispute over food... Even more ironically, the dispute was over sausage. ...Officer Lisa Esposito responded to a Main Street residence for a reported dispute in progress... When Esposito arrived, she found Thomas Bacon, 19, had allegedly assaulted another person inside the house over eating a piece of sausage, Cirella said. Because of the sausage, Bacon was charged with simple assault and given a municipal court date. The alleged victim’s identity was not released. No medical attention was needed."

A COUPLE ASSAULTED AND ROBBED AN EMPLOYEE AND STOLE A $480 IN BACON

"The Cabell County Sheriff's Office responded to Nelson's Meat Market ... Monday. Deputies said an employee that lived in an apartment above the business was asked by Kauffer, who was recently fired from the meat market, for the keys to the shop. Deputies said the victim refused when the two suspects entered the business...the victim followed the suspects and he was punched, kicked and bitten by Kauffer. Deputies said Kauffer pointed a rifle -- used to kill the animals butchered at the market -- at the victim, who was on the floor. Deputies said the victim talked him out of shooting him. Deputies said the suspects fled with the rifle and four cases of bacon valued at $480."
A WOMAN NAMED BACON ARRESTED FOR CONVENIENCE STORE ATTEMPTED ROBBERY BY THE SANDWICH POLICE:
"A Facebook tip led to the arrest of the suspect in a failed robbery attempt at a Route 6A convenience store. According to Sandwich police, officers responded to the Express Mart at 127 Route 6A around 3 p.m. on Thursday where the store clerk told police a woman had entered the store and brandishing a knife, demanded that the cash draw be emptied. The woman fled the store without any cash or merchandise. Police issued a description of the female subject and posted photos on their Facebook page. 
According to a police release Friday, a tip on their Facebook page led detectives to 27-year-old Amanda E. Bacon of Liberty Street in Sandwich.  Bacon was placed under arrest and detectives reportedly recovered evidence of the crime at the Liberty Street home where Bacon was staying. The knife used during the failed robbery attempt was located a short distance from the home, police said. Bacon was transported to the Sandwich Police Station where she was booked and charged with armed assault with intent to rob. Bacon is being held at the Barnstable County House of Correction on $1,000 cash bail until her arraignment in Barnstable District Court on Monday."
In case you didn't know, the Town of Sandwich is the oldest town on Cape Cod.

ADVENTURES IN BACON - a few weeks ago, my NEPS business travel took me to Greenwich, CT, for the Document Strategy Fourm conference. I'm just getting around to posting about it now.

Staying at the Hyatt Regency Greenwich, the former home of the Conde Nast magazine empire, I had some really great bacon.

Unfortunately, I don't recall from whence the bacon originated! I believe the staff said it was from some upstate NY farm, but I can't be sure. In any event, the Hyatt was an outstanding experience, as was the Forum.


LOU'S NATURALS: GARRETT VALLEY 
















This was some very good bacon. I grabbed some at the local supermarket for our dinner party; the bacon was ultimately used in salad. It crisped up really great, had superb bacon flavor and was a big hit in the kale salad. It produced a LOT of bacon fat, which I had to remove using a baster and my Pit Mitt.

I also flattened some of the slices as they were curling a bit.



Overall, 3's across the board. Recommended.
