You know what makes :
a good meal great? Bacon.
You know what makes a great
meal awesome? More bacon.
As if it were ever in debate,
bacon is indeed the food of
the gods, guaranteed to sat­
isfy almost every man, woman
and child to piggy perfection.*
Luckily, we here at fiat; Print,
Love completely understand
the obsession and love aflhift
that the populace at large has
fallen for. We will of course
do our best to provide you
with yet another mouthwater- .
ing option to this staple of
human existence.
Below you’ll find a bois­
terous bacon bounty that can
serve as an appetizer for sev­
eral or a meal for few - though
one thing is for sure, you’ll
find yourself coming back to
this recipe time and time again
for its gooey, bacon-y good­
ness.
b c to o r v 1 t o l U
1 lb bacon
8 oz cream cheese
1 clove of garlic, minced
1 tsp chopped chives
Pinch of salt
Freshly ground pepper
5-6 slites of bread
Toothpicks
First off, as devastating as
it is to mar perfection, go
ahead and slice the bacon in
half and set aside. In a small
bowl, combine softened cream
cheese with the garlic, chives,
te n n e r to ta ste
Using the classic house­
wife’s go-to blunt weapon o f ;
choice (a rolling pin), flatten
the bread and it may be ben­
eficial to chop off the crusts
(depending on the bread), if
nothing else this will give you
a square piece to work with.
Lay out four pieces of
bacon (it’s raw, don’t lick
your fingers yet, I promise it’s -
worth the wait) and place one
a flattened slice o f bread on
top. Spread a bit o f the cream
cheese mixture over the bread
like slathering a sandwich
with peanut butter.
Roll up, the bread and
bacon as you would an over­
priced Persian rug and secure
with four to five toothpicks
about an inch apart. Repeat
this process until you have run
out o f bacon and are teeter­
ing on the edge o f starvation.
Place all your fancy little rolls
on a baking sheet and then
freeze until firm. (Remember,
patience is a virtue.)
Once firm, slice rolls into
four to five pieces pieces, each
secured with a toothpick. If
you aren’t ready to cook them
up for hungry guests, you can
either refrigerate or freeze at
this point until you’re ready
closer to an impending meal
service or go ahead and cook
them up (because let’s face
it, you can’t wait any longer).
When you’re ready, preheat
oven to 425 degrees and place
rolls - not touching - on a
broiler pan. You’ll want to
bake these little babies for 20
to 30 minutes or until bacon
has crisped.
Serve with your dipping
concoction o f choice or plash ;;
as to not hide any o f the bacon- /
y goodness from your des­
perate taste buds. Either way,
once you’ve tried them, we
here at Eat, Print, Love offer
your stomach a hearty “you’re
welcome,” and bid you a kind
reminder to share (though a§
it IS bacon, for sheer peace of
mind sharing is not required er .
recommended).

Everyone has had either a
written list or maybe just a men­
tal list of things they wanted to
do before they ‘kick the bucket.’
These are the dreams of what
people really want to accomplish
in life. Some may put them off
until the later stages in life and
some may start checking off their
bucket list items starting as teen­
agers.
Bucket lists became more
popular after the 2007 release of
the movie “The Bucket List” star­
ring Jack Nicholson and Morgan
Freeman. O f course the term was
always used, but people started
to realize that you never really
know how long you have to live
and there are some things you
need to do before you die.
CCC counselor Stephanie
Schaefer gave some input on why
people create bucket lists.
“I think it depends on the
person. It serves as a reminder of
what people want to accomplish
in life,” said Schaefer.
With the rise in tragedy and
health problems, people start to
think that life is short and they
want to accomplish everything
they have ever dreamed. Some of
the bucket list items that people
have are quite thrilling, like sky-
diving or climbing a mountain.
Many will not ever pursue their
goal, but for the ones that do not
lose sight of their dream, they
will have the best memories.
A new student this term,
Shelby Coran, wants to go to
lineman school to be a line work­
er as her career, but she has more
dreams she wants to accomplish
in her life.
“I’ve always wanted to hike
Mt. Hood. I’ve never hiked a
mountain before,” said Coran.
Traveling is a very common
bucket list item. Whether it is
just to see different states or to
backpack around Europe, this is
probably the easiest to check off
your list.
“I really want to
travel to Spain
and Greece. I
Melissa Stewart, a fourth term
student at ¡CCC, wants to travel
across the United States and look
at all the history that our country
has.
“I want to see all the ridiculous
monuments around the United
States. I wanna pack a bus and
travel the whole U.S. I would
love it,” said Stewart.
Another CCC student, Angela
Mclean, wants to see the pyra­
mids in Egypt.
No matter how young or old
you are, setting goals and dreams
is a necessity to live a good,
healthy life. You do not have to
write down a list of things to do,
but have high dreams and enjoy
the life you live!
