Spicy Caramelized Bacon Wrapped Smoked Oysters – This recipe evolved into what you see today. Ken said I should do a recipe to celebrate my father, but I had just done 5 days of pasta, and that I would say hands down was my dad’s favorite.
I did mention him in one of the posts and wished him a Happy Father’s Day. I do miss him terribly, seems so long ago I had the privilege to be with him.
He was a great, well-read man of vast knowledge and I loved him dearly.
Ken is the great dad in our lives now and this recipe was designed around all of the things he loves. Not that long ago he was making a recipe from the Fine Cooking magazine, five-spice candied bacon and it was delicious.
With that in mind and another of his favorites, smoked oysters I created this recipe just for him and he loved it!!
Happy Father’s Day to you all and may you have a great day in remembering dads and grandads and being with the dads you love. Enjoy!!
