Oh, yuck. I cooked three packages of bacon. The house is super stinky in a heavy, greasy way. Ew. At least it was done today so there is a full 24 hours+ for the air to resume its normal state. Having washed all the linens in the house night before last, there was yelling for the mister to "Shut all the bedroom doors!!!" as the realization of the probability for bacon scent permeation occurred. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. That said, the so-called salad that involves the bacon is seriously yummy (as long as there's not a cholesterol or triglycerides check in one's near future). Due to proximity to the kitchen, all the living room toss pillows and throws are washing to get rid of the bacon stank. Just in case bacon scent is not anathema at your house, here is the recipe for the dish:
7-Layer Salad
3 Cups Torn Romaine Lettuce
Salt, Pepper, Sugar
1 ½ Cups shredded Swiss cheese (6 oz)
4 Hard Cooked Eggs, chopped or sliced
½ pound bacon cooked crisp and crumbled (10 or 11 slices)
3 Cups Torn Leaf Lettuce
1 10oz package frozen peas thawed (2 cups)
1 Cup mayonnaise
2 T sliced green onion tops
Place romaine in bottom of large, narrow, deep bowl; sprinkle with salt, pepper and sugar. Top with 1 Cup of Swiss cheese. Layer sliced or chopped eggs atop cheese, standing some slices on edge, if desired. Sprinkle with salt. Next layer in order half of the bacon, the leaf lettuce and the peas. Repeat. Spread mayo over top, sealing to edge of bowl. Cover tightly and chill 24 hours. May garnish with cheese, bacon and thinly slice green onion. Toss just before serving. Serves 10 to 12.

We make bacon on Sunday morning--but I always scrub the kitchen to get rid of the smell. My favorite is to fry potatoes and onions in the bacon grease---that almost makes up for the bacon aroma.
And is it just me or do pancakes stink up the kitchen too?
