Confessions of a Bacon Lover

My Facebook wall is a veritable museum of bacon goodness.  A wonderland, really.  Friends regularly post bacon products, pictures, and recipes to my wall, which delights me to no end.  

A friend recently sent me a Bacon Swag bag full of bacon candy, popcorn, thick cut maple fusion bacon strips, and my new favorite t-shirt!  Style points go to a guy who recently gave me 5lbs of bacon on our first date. 

I was asked today, and not for the first time, “What is the deal with you and bacon?  Do you really love it that much?” 

The short answer is: YES, I love bacon.

Baking Soda: The Most Underappreciated Medium

There are a few things you should know about me.  I drink a great deal of coffee, I like bacon and eat it every day (and by like, I mean we’re in a relationship).  I also work from home so I get to hang out with my four-year-old Cate AND I spend a great deal of time in my sweat pants.  I’m working on changing that in 2012, but it’s slow progress.

Also, I am a selective control freak so I compartmentalize my day into segments.  There is the, “don’t fuck with me, I haven’t had coffee”segment first thing in the morning.  The, “don’t fuck with me, I haven’t eaten lunch yet”, the “don’t fuck with me I’m almost done working” segment, the “don’t fuck with me I have to get to the gym” and finally the “don’t fuck with me I haven’t had a glass of wine” segment.  That one is my favorite.
