Dead Mice!

Bacon makes everything better.  It's called dead mice because when you put them in your cast iron and they start to bubble they look just like...dead mice.  Its so beautiful.

Ingredients
1/2 lb of bacon
Radicchio
2 Pears or 10-12 Figs, sliced lengthwise

Side Note: Ever cut a fig in half and looked at its insides?  It looks like a VJJ.  It's Mother Earths' VJJ.  So totally weird, or cool depending on your feelings about VJJ.  But, in any case it looks like VJJ.  Next time there is fig on my menu, remember that its' new name is "Mother Earth's VJJ".

Tools
Sharp Knife
Pan, preferably cast iron...(Heather this one is for you!)
Toothpicks

Take the bacon and slice it lengthwise in half.  Break apart the Radicchio and cut the larger leaves in half.  Slice your pear or fig lengthwise.  Set-up your manufacturing line...
1. Radicchio leaf
2. Place fruit of choice into the leaf
3. Wrap radicchio around said fruit
4. Holding this in one hand take bacon slice and wrap bacon around leaf, this is your MOUSE.
5. STAB the mouse with a toothpick to make sure it's dead and well secured
6. Heat pan to medium low, place mice in pan and cook until you like the way the bacon looks.

EAT DEAD MICE!!!
