Bacon

I want you to know without question, hesitation, or reservation my favorite food is bacon. And if and when  I die I want to be commemorated with bacon. Meaning, when I kick the bucket, I want the party  after the funeral to feature bacon. Bacon wrapped hot dogs, bacon wrapped dates, and BLTs. I want you to gather round and tell stories about the wonderful meals I made for you featuring bacon. (Like the bacon, guacamole, and tomato sandwiches we just enjoyed for dinner.) As I type this I am smelling Lola's hair and  drinking in the heavenly aroma of a baby who sat in her high chair eating pieces of guac as her mother fried strip after strip of crinkly browning pig fat. I LOVE BACON.  My husband and I just split a pound of bacon, and though I know it makes me a glutton, it also makes me joyful beyond words. Because, I LOVE BACON.

That's all. I am seriously just logging on to tell you I LOVE BACON. What do you love like that?

This so reminds me of the commercial for bacon strips for dogs. The one where the dog runs around the house singing bacon, bacon, I LOVE BACON!!! Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, delicioso! I love bacon to but I can't stand the smell of it cooking. Strange, huh?

Ah, my husband's favorite. That and lots of butter. And you wonder why I have high cholesterol. May favorite thing is avocado. I could eat a whole one by itself, but I usually have it for breakfast (on the side of eggs), for lunch (in a sandwich), and of course for dinner. I've even had it as a shake. Don't knock it until you try it. It's delicious:) Of course, you can make some damn good guacamole with it. I want an avocado tree someday. That is one our dreams.

Phillip and I have a similar love of Bacon. I save our Bacon feasts for Sunday mornings when I whip up a batch of buttermilk biscuits and pancakes....the bacon always steals the show though.
Bacon, avocado and tomato sandwiches sound amazing!!!

HA!!!! I had the most awesome bacon snack at my brother's house. It was chicken breast wrapped in bacon and dipped in the perfect combination of brown sugar and chili powder. I totally stuffed myself and hardly had any room for dinner. You MUST try this recipe.

Oh, I forgot, I believe cheese beats out avocado. I will just grab a big slab of anything and eat it. I've even begun adding the cheese rinds to my chicken broth or soups. It's delicious! I LOVE cheese. This is something I cannot live without.

Oh, try saving your bacon fat. Freeze it in ice cube trays and use it when cooking.
