Welcome to this year’s Toikey Day posts here at c-m dot net!  You know…Thanksgiving…a holiday that comes between Halloween and Christmas?  Or, as retailers may prefer to call it, the day before Black Friday?

I’m always looking for interesting things to make.  Today I came upon this recipe:  Butternut Squash Soup Shots with Candied Bacon.  Apparently, serving soups as *shots* is one of the latest fancy restaurant trends.  I can easily see doing this as a starter for our Thanksgiving dinner.

I already have a favorite recipe for butternut squash soup – the heavenly Old Sturbridge Village Gourd Soup.  But I printed out the recipe from Recipezaar, because I wanted to know how to make the candied bacon.  Yum…BACON!  Yes, I think this will be a wonderful starter for our Thanksgiving feast!
