This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good.    Mom had made a roast the first time she made this recipe but imagine it with chicken or ANYTHING…….just plain tasty.    We hope you will try this one – roasted vegetables get a bit of “sweetness” to them and with the bacon it’s sweet AND salty.  Nice combo!

Yep – we all need to tingle from time to time……..!

I must clean up the kitchen – the staff is having a day off – we like to keep the staff happy here in Castle Baconia……………..it PAYS to be nice!!
