Love me some bacon grease in beans. When I need to get a good amount of bacon grease, I will cook bacon on a broiler pan at 425 and flip halfway through cooking. I line the bottom of the pan with foil and I usually get a good amount of grease per package. Oh and I use good thick cut bacon.

Forgot to add salt, too much air in eggs, used dark chocolate coco. Came out looking great but definitely not brownie tasting.

Since there are some Alton Brown fans in this thread, you might like to know that he's doing a podcast now on the Nerdist network.
The Alton Browncast << Nerdist
I've been listening for a few weeks now and it's not bad. He talks about food news, interviews celebrity and non-celebrity chefs, and takes calls from people with cooking questions.

Okay, here's a recipe I thought would be a complete dud, but was fan-freaking-tastic. Try it. If you have a fancy vitamix blender, you can just keep adding ice, and eat this as a sorbet. I did it in a regular blender, and served it as Popsicles made in home made molds. I doubled the recipe, gave me 10 very large popsicles.
1/4 pineapple (can also be 1/2 banana depending on preference)
1/2 lemon (with seeds and peel, cut off thick rind on end)
1 cup of raw spinach
1/2 avacado peeled
1/4 c *sweetener (1/4 C Agave is used in demo)
1/2 - 2 cups of ice (start with small amounts, increase as you go to make thicker)
Blend, watching for the right consistency.
If you have a good enough blender, as I said, it can be served immediately as sorbet. I poured it into molds and let it freeze for 2.5 hours. Came out perfect, and everyone, even my fussy 5 year old ate it and loved it. Several servings of fruits and veg in a Popsicle. wOOt!

I checked it out, not bad. The episde I listened to had Justin Warner on it. He was on one of those stupid "next food network star" shows, but this was one where they had mentors, and Alton was his mentor. The guy was off the fucking chain, he made shit I could probably never make, he even won it all on aspic. ASPIC. But you know how they are supposed to get a show? Well he never really did, he got a pilot and then... nothing. I am assuming he just wasn't the vapid bullshit pseudo-celebrity they needed for the network so they decided to fulfill the contract and then ignore him. But Alton spends the entire podcast talking to him about making the show and stuff.

Chicken thighs (2 per person, typically)
1 onion, cut roughly
1/2 cup Sriracha sauce
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup dark soy sauce
1 tsp Five spice powder
Water
In a large, deep skillet, add the cut onion (I just cut them into mm-thick rings). Toss the chicken on top. In a small bowl, mix together Sriracha, brown sugar, soy sauce (use 1/2 cup regular if you don't have any dark) and five spice powder. Pour over chicken.
Now fill the skillet with water until it's just under half-full. Put on medium heat for about an hour (can take more time, depending on how much water you add). Keep heat constant until the sauce starts to thicken considerably, about 45-50 minutes in. Cover and turn heat to low, cooking for last ~10 minutes.

The one I use is cinnamon, anise, pepper, fennel and ginger. Has a great flavor. Kind of smoky-sweet. There's no one five spice powder, from what I understand.

That's what sriracha is, garlic chili sauce.
I think it's overused but has its place like any other hotsauce. Ham or pepperoni pizza or the usual asian dish gets srirachi. Maybe a burger depending what's on it.
