Serves Nyarlathotep, and four Starry Wisdom acolytes

Four Dimensional Manifestation:

2 small tomatoes, diced
   (any decahedral configuration will do)
Kosher salt to taste
4 to 6 slices of bacon
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 titanic head of a glacier cabbage, drained of all vitality (in modern terms "iceberg lettuce)
1 small red onion, minced viciously

Dressing:

2 ounces sharp blue cheese
1/2 cup viscous white doom
1/2 cup  soured cream
1/2 cup unwholesome milk
1 tablespoon juice of citrus in yellow
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

To see by and mortal kin:

Set a mesh of metal over a small bowl and add diced tomatoes---if they appear unruly, it is only a trick of the light. Sprinkle with the blessed salt and toss evenly (oddly if the moon shows through the trees). Set aside.

In a small skillet, cook the salted flesh of the swine over medium-high heat, until crisped. This offering must no be burnt! Transfer to a parchment-laden plate.

Using some of the rendered fat, add bread crumbs and cook over medium heat until browned and crisp. Transfer to a new parchmented plate to drain, and anoint with the spices of light and darkness.

Take up the blade, rend the meat into fine bits. Turn the flame low, cook again the cooked chopped bacon until crisp and deep brown. Thus prepared, set the remains upon the parchment. Clean your skillet, and reheat on medium-low. Add the bacon and brown sugar, stirring, stirring ... A transmogrification will begin; watch it closely that it does not burn. Once cloaked in the glaze thus evoked, remove from heat and cool.


Preparing the raiment:

In a medium vessel, whisk away those milky things unmentionable, the juice of the lemon; add the black spice when congealed.

Blaze the lights!

Bring forth the lettuce head, shorn of its outer layers and quartered through the core so that each quarter holds together. Arrange these wedges on plates and dole out the pale dressing upon each. Bestow on these the red onion at a strange angle. Add all else, for it is done.



Iceberg Lettuce Wedge Salad

Lay man description:

Ingredients:

2 small tomatoes, diced
Kosher salt to taste
4 to 6 slices of bacon
1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 large head iceberg lettuce
1 small red onion

Blue Cheese Dressing:

2 ounces sharp blue cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup whole milk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Set a mesh strainer over a bowl and add diced tomatoes.
Sprinkle liberally with salt and toss evenly.

In a small skillet, cook bacon over medium-heat, until crisped, not dark or burnt, about five minutes. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate.

Using the rendered bacon fat still in the skillet, add the bread crumbs and cook over medium heat for five to six minutes, until browned and crisp. Transfer to a new paper towel-lined plate to drain; season with salt and pepper.

In a small skillet over low heat, add the finely chopped cooked bacon and stir occasionally for five to eight minutes. Bacon should be super crisp and deep brown. Remove the bits and transfer them to another paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Clean out the skillet and reheat n medium low. Add the bacon and brown sugar, stirring to coat the bacon. Sugar will start to caramelize; watch it closely so it doesn't burn. Remove from heat when the sugar is dissolved and bacon is coated, cool.

Prepare the dressing:

In a medium bowl, whisk the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk and lemon juice until a smooth, lumpy cheese dressing forms. Add pepper to taste.

Remove and discard the outer leaves of the lettuce head.
Quarter through the core so that each quarter still holds together.
Arrange iceberg wedges on plates and spoon dressing on each.
Sprinkle onion all over the salad islands, along with tomatoes, caramelized bacon, and toasted bread crumbs.

Serve.

Perfect

These recipes actually look pretty tasty.   Well, modulo the "viscous white doom" terminology.
