Friday Afternoon Bacon Blogging — Thanksgiving Bacon!
Bacon-Wrapped Turkey with Pear Cider Gravy. Doesn't that sound good? I'm seriously rethinking my own Thanksgiving turkey preparation (fresh turkey, honey brine, stuffed with fresh herbs and roasted on the grill) for this one featuring bacon.

Scott Spencer, a Democratic candidate for the open Congressional seat, is donating 10% of his campaign fundraising to the Food Bank of Delaware, and he is challenging all other statewide candidates to do the same, whether it be to the Food Bank of Delaware or another charity of their choosing. If you support and vote for candidates that pledge to do more for our common good, Scott Spencer's gesture is altruistic. If greed is your primary motivation in supporting and voting for candidates, then surely this gesture by Mr. Spencer is silly.
