Bacon Onion Compote

C — My life just hit a new high.

I just made the most incredible thing ever. Bacon onion compote. Am I a sad case? No, because this is the best snack food EVER!!! Dipped with chips, eaten with meat, added to a burger. This thing is amazing. It can be eaten with anything.

I didn’t know what was going on with me this week. I have been craving the weirdest stuff, or maybe not-so-weirdest stuff. Not really sure. This week I really wanted something sweet and salty AND bacony. I mean really bacon intense. I think I could have eaten that whole pack of bacon in the refrigerator… but, I didn’t. I thought about it a few times, though. But, too much salt was going to make me bloat. I really wanted to make it a little sweet. But, I didn’t want to just sprinkle sugar on it again. That happens too many times. This time its got to be really good.
