I don't have any problem with Lisa winning for her bacon.

I don't either, because it really seemed like they decided for her because it was made in a way that the judges hadn't seen before, and really liked, so it was technique as well as taste that made her win.

Stephanie really did come through! But I still think the deviled egg idea could have worked. They go with everything!!!

Deviled egg & the smoked bacon thing Lisa did. and the shrimp for that matter. all together.

yummee!!!!

Yeah, when I heard she was going for a miso glaze on the bacon, I thought she was heading towards complete salt overload, but obvisouly she mitigated that somehow.

Didn't she say she used maple syrup also? Which made me think it might taste something like a less sweet version of the candied bacon someone brought to a Chinese New Year party I was at last year (year of the pig, of course!). Man, that's some of the best stuff I've ever had in my mouth! Just bacon tossed with brown sugar and baked in the oven. omgsogood!

Cat Cora did something similar on ICA this weekend - bacon coated with a brown-sugar-spice mixture. She called it "pig candy."

From Gail's blog:

Don’t think for an instant the judges have not noticed Lisa’s negativity and the perpetual look of misery on her face.

I wonder how that will come into play in the future.

I hate that there is a negative Lisa!!!

So I hear Nancy Wilson did a no-handed cartwheel on Idol last night!

My mother does that at holidays. Yummmm.

Jesse! I did not read the quoted text above:

and thought you meant that your mother, like Nancy Wilson evidently, does no-handed cartwheels!
