Bacon. BACON!

 

 There are two things I remember well, from my childhood: Bacon and Coffee.  Both should be on the Pyramid of recommended servings of the various food groups.  

But these two elements of happy childhood Olfactory memories always linger.

Discovery and enjoyment of bacon are shown below. Mostly.

 

                                  Someone needs to discuss obedience and respect to him.

Well, I know they are cute now, but they grow up to be heavy tanks that will mow you down if you are in their way. I know this for a fact, having helped with herding them to the chute which will take them to St. Louis for their final destination. A farm girl can handle it.

 We raised hogs. Bacon is a natural by  product of these animals.   It is said that they are intelligent.  No, they are evil. Mean.  I know. I have looked them in the eyes, and see their deviousness. They will run you over if you lose concentration and fear them.

Bacon? The odor of coffee and bacon always remind me that my childhood was mostly great.

So, the kids above and comedian express their feelings about bacon.

Many do not eat pork as it is against their beliefs.  Bacon is one of the only pork products I eat. The other is barbecue shredded pork.

Bacon, Bacon, Bacon

Bacon, Bacon, Bacon….

This is actually part of a family song and dance that my little girls and I perform when I make a food that they really like.  The song was originally about tuna fish sandwiches, but also applies to bacon, pancakes, pizza, and all the major child food groups.

Remember the cool dance they did? 

How does the dance go?  Well, one has to picture “The Breakfast Club” movie.  It is from the mid-1980s with Emilio Estevez, Aly Sheedy, and other good actors whose names I cannot remember.

I see IHOP in my future!

Back to the bacon subject…There is no odor quite as enticing as cooking bacon.  That odor weaves through the house, clings to one’s hands, and splatters onto the clothes.  Technically, bacon is a “gift that keeps on giving” all day long.

My M/C Ellen Jo Carter, frequently refers to bacon and also coffee as ambrosia and having the ability to arouse one who is near death.   In Preacher's Creek

This BACON love is growing.

Jack-in-the-Box: the new Bacon Shake

Jack-in-the-Box recently released a new milk-shake:  Bacon shake, which is vanilla milk-shake into which the essence of bacon oil is added.  YUMMMMY!

AND, if that wasn't all, they have a new BLT commercial.  A young man falls in love with, and then marries the Jack-in-the-Box BACON BACON Cheeseburger.  Bliss comes in all forms.  You can see this special marital union at marrybacon.com

Be sure to have a box of tissues (and napkins) handy.

Admit it:  We have all bought something here.

San Diego County Fair (and other fairs) has had deep-fat fried, chocolate coated bacon as one of its fine dining options in the food vendors.

These are not real turtles, they're faux turtles.

Bacon is the new gourmet taste. 

So ends my tribute to the food of the gods:  BACON
