And 2, my band, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VikiVortexAndTheCumshots\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Viki Vortex and the Cumshots<\/a>, has been going thru a bit of a bacon kick. Yep. We even have a new bacon-inspired logo! See, when I was recently at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rebellionfestivals.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Rebellion Punk Festival<\/a>, I carried cooked bacon around in my handbag to snack on. Because, seriously, there is not much &#8216;paleo friendly food&#8217; up in Blackpool. I was impressed by the backstage area serving vegan food though. Well, when I say impressed, I was pleased that I could get them to do me a plate of salad and then I could sprinkle my bacon on top!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-493\" title=\"VVCumshotsBacon\" src=\"https:\/\/thecreativecaveman.com\/2025\/2025\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/VVCumshotsBacon-300x240.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"154\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So I wanted to come up with something portable, with bacon, that would be handy for me to take on my travels on the tour bus. (I&#8217;m kidding there. We don&#8217;t have a tour bus&#8230;. but if we did have a tour bus, I would make bucket loads of Vortex Meatballs.)<\/p>\n<p>As I have been on a bit of a fruit and meat kick. Well, all right, I&#8217;ve always liked that combination. These Vortex Meatballs are a mouthful of heaven. Seriously. I was pretty darn impressed with this one&#8230; and so glad that I actually wrote down EXACTLY what I did. Because I&#8217;m going to be making these again. You know, for the Bacon Powered Tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I put up the recipe for my Greek Meat Surprise Snacks, I couldn&#8217;t believe the amount of hits I got on it.
