Ever wonder how Shrimp&Grits with Cream Cheese Icing would taste?

Me neither . . . but I almost found out tonight. ;P

We save bacon drippings for cooking and keep it in little containers in the fridge. Grabbed one out and started to spoon a dollop into the pan and stopped.
The texture seemed a bit odd. I sniffed, then tasted, and discovered my wife had saved some cream cheese icing from my birthday.

The Shrimp&Grits were awesome, but now I'll never know if they would have been better with icing. :D

Everything's better with Bacon . . . ;)

EDIT: FWIW we don't do all of our cooking with bacon grease, but we do save the grease for flavoring when we have bacon. 90% of our cooking is with light Olive Oil.

Yes...I was going to say that as well...to get bacon grease...you have to be eating some bacon first (usually)!;)

I wonder where the sample collector kept Ryan Braun's, um, fluid container over the weekend? Now that case of mistaken identity would be a real shocker!
