"is you is? or is you ain't? ...with me" (fabulous quote from the movie "oh brother where art thou?")
so are you? with me or not? do you love bacon or not? my home is divided. half bacon lovers, half sausage lovers.
me, i prefer good ole, fresh from the pig, bacon. and it MUST be cooked to crispy perfection. none of that limp, wiggly stuff will do.
apparently i have never tasted real bacon until recently.
i apologize for the use of "Mormon verbiage" in the post as follows, if you have any questions as to what i am talking about, leave me one in my comments.
my visiting teacher happens to be the wife of a "meat guy" who also happened to be our previous stake president. (you neighborhood folks know to whom i am referring).
anyway, on her past visit we were the recipients of a few meat products. mainly some chicken and a package (or two) of bacon. not nearly enough, after tasting this delicacy.
on the doorstep she warned kyle, "this is the BEST bacon you will EVER eat."
i thought, really? come on! all bacon is the same! best bacon ever?
i have been proven wrong, rebuked, been made to reconsider all that i ever thought i knew about bacon. this stuff is of the celestial variety.
i fried up a slice or two for lunch today. added it to my lettuce and tomato and bread. wallah! a BLT! after one bite, i was blown away. never had i tasted bacon this good. ever.
i managed to inhale the entire sandwich. i then proceeded to search the frying pan, the paper towels, and the plate for any bacon crumbs, or morsels, that may have escaped my masticating mouth.
it was that good.
i am now wondering what these pigs are dining on to create such unbelievably good bacon...
i think i will ask Marilyn the next time i see her.
(and do you think it would be shameful to beg for some more bacon?)

i would definitely ask for more if it was that good!
for years i thought i preferred sausage. but no, it's bacon. but like you it must be crispy, very crispy.
i love blt's. but i think my fave way to eat bacon is with a breakfast meal with maple syrup. yum!
i do not like bacon bits. any recipe calling for it must have the real thing crisped to perfection.
and a strange off topic thing...the movie you quoted-i'm not familiar with it. just yesterday a friend on facebook added another quote from the same movie. i had no idea where it came from til he mentioned it. so it's a coincidence that today you've quoted the same movie.
oh heather...bacon + maple syrup =
a little slice of heaven!
and YOU MUST!!!! rent OR check out "oh brother..." from the video store or library. you also must like to look at George Clooney for 2 hours and like a whole lot a quirky....
MMMM...that makes me want some bacon. Such great pictures of Grace on her birthday...she was such a cute, cute baby.
Are you trying to kill me. I am sitting here eating lowfat light disgusting yogurt. I looooooooove bacon, which is wierd because I don't like meat.
Bacon is divine!!!!
My mouth is starting to water after reading this post! Love, love, LOVE Bacon and it HAS to be extra crispy!!! =)
