Bacon. God’s Most Perfect Food

Bacon. Where do I begin? The full smoky flavor? The delicious texture? The saltiness that tastes good with everything? I love bacon so much I get it as gifts for my birthday and Christmas. Yep, I have gotten bacon candy bars (9 for Christmas alone this year), a bacon Christmas card, bacon flavored jelly beans, bacon salt, and even bacon scented soap. When any of my friends hear the word ‘bacon’ I immediately get a text that they are thinking about me. My Friend Meredith has even said I can cook bacon for Passover with her family as long as I cook it on a Kosher George Foreman grill in the garage because they know I love it so much. I have dreams about eating bacon (of course I also have dreams about watching an episode of “Family Guy” that turns into “The Rise and Fall of the City of Mahogonny”…). I put bacon in everything I cook and have even eaten it with ice cream. I love bacon so much I belong to The Holy Church of Bacon on Facebook. How did this obsession begin? I came by it honestly. My mom is Southern. My mom would cook bacon on weekend mornings then drain the grease into a coffee tin that she kept in the refrigerator to cook with. So naturally I grew up tasting bacon in one way or another everyday. I am forever indebted to my mother for that. Fo those of you who love bacon ALMOST as much as me (no one can love it quite as much as me)I give you a few of my favorite bacon links:
