Ten reasons to love bacon. Do we need ten reasons? Isn’t one good enough? It’s fried, salty and fatty. OK, that’s three, but you get my drift.
I’m a skeptic when it comes to those weird recipes for bacon flavored ice cream or bacon brownies or bacon jello; I’ve had brown-sugar covered bacon and thought it was Awful. Leave the sweet for the maple syrup, thank you very much.
But I admit there are a few things that just aren’t right without bacon:
- Scrambled eggs and….what? sausage? Oh, please. Everybody knows you serve sausage only if you’re out of bacon.
- It’s not really a sandwich if there’s no B in front of the LT.
- Quiche Lorraine. Quiche is my new summer dish. Cook it on Sunday and you’ve got breakfast or lunch for another day besides. Super change from mini-wheats.
- Cobb salad…mmmm, blue cheese and bacon bits, yeah baby, that’s what I’m talkin’ about.
- Bacon, egg and cheese sandwich from that place with the yellow arches, or even better, make your own.
- Bacon, cheese and chives in a hot baked potato along with a salad and dinner is ready. This would be a November dinner, since I’m not baking potatoes when it’s 101 degrees out.
- Calico beans wouldn’t be calico beans without at least half a pound of bacon and a pound is better.
OK, so 7 is the best I can do. I might try peanut butter and bacon on toast some day, but bacon brownies…fuggedaboutit.
Now I’m going over to Carole’s so I can drool all over her Ten on Tuesday photo.
Cobb salad – yummmm!
Now I’m craving bacon. Luckily I have a ton of it in the freezer. (My dad raises pigs. He keeps me well supplied with bacon…)
Ooh…bacon and cheese potato…serious yum…
Mmmmm. Your list is making me hungry. . .
So funny! I do love those sandwiches, made by the local farm stand, and reserved for a special treat. (Like every weekend, who is fooling whom?)
Considering you already had three in the intro, it makes 10. There you go. I could put bacon on any sandwich.
Great list! For some reason I’ve never tried a Cobb salad. It sounds delicious!
I have not had peanut butter and bacon on toast since I was a child. I think I might want it right now. Good thing it is the middle of the night and I do not have all the ingredients.
What’s on my plate? Funny you should ask: quiche with bacon and fake crab and swiss for breakfast. BLTs with fresh tomatoes and crunchy lettuce on soft wheat for lunch. And bacon as a snack in between. We don’t buy it as often as I would like to (which would be daily) and we had a bunch left over (?!). Ian’s parent’s are saints about eating (one piece? you’re only have ONE piece?) and we constrained ourselves purely due to manners from eating the rest and licking the grease off the plate. Until they left, then we put it in everything we ate.
