I Blog About Bacon

According to the Dr. Pepper 10 commercial currently circulating the air waves, if you blog about bacon, you must be manly, and thus worthy of drinking their new diet soda. I have no interest in any of Dr. Pepper's unpleasant tasting drinks, but I do love me some bacon!

Some of the ladies at work are convinced that I eat bacon for every meal. While that is not the case, I do probably consume more bacon than the average person. I enjoy adding bacon to sandwiches and salads - you can't go wrong with chicken or turkey topped with bacon.

I buy precooked bacon by the pound from Costco. Their precooked bacon comes in a convenient resealable bag and is much better than the Oscar Mayer stuff. Often when I am at a loss for what to eat or am looking for a quick snack around the house I'll throw a few strips in the microwave. I am told that bacon is one of the worst meats you can eat with all its sodium and cholesterol, but it just tastes so darn good!

My love for bacon started as a young girl. My parents always made sure I ate breakfast before sending me off to school. I have never been much of a cereal person, at least not for breakfast, but I would never say no to some bacon. It seems like bacon is becoming more and more prevalent on restaurant menus these days, making it even harder to resist the temptation of the yummy pork product. Since high cholesterol runs in my family, I'm sure the time will come when my bacon consumption will need to take a drastic reduction. That will be a very sad day!
