Re: bacon on doughnuts, I think I've had where a strip of not so crispy bacon was laid on top of the bar and the really enjoyable kind with crispy crumbled bacon sprinkled on top. To me, that matters. I don't want chewy bacon on my donut.

And re: coq au vin, thank you for that idea. It reminds me of my childhood, a special meal we only occasionally had. I guess I will be buying some white wine for the first time in my life sometime soon.

ETA: Does Trader Joe's have a white Two Buck Chuck or does that only come in red?
