Recently, an old friend who's been a vegetarian for more than 15 years shocked us with a story: Last weekend, she ate bacon. Several strips. Straight out of the frying pan where her boyfriend was cooking it.
This wasn't the first time she'd encountered it sizzling there, in all its glistening glory. But for some reason, this time it overpowered her. She was guilty yet gleeful when she told us that she'd allowed bacon back into her life.

Ha! Most vegetarians certainly do have cats!
My favorite meal is a from-scratch, homemade pasta carbonara. Pan-fried pancetta (Italian bacon), al dente spaghetti, sauteed onions mixed with beaten eggs, salt, pepper and grated Parmesan. It’s bacon and eggs cleverly disguised as dinner, with a side of fresh buttery garlic bread.
Is that where the resistant carbs went? ;-)
Bacon is so powerful it makes me read something put out by NPR.
He looks like Herman Munster in that pic.

For some reason, bacon always overpowers me.

My daughter lived on bacon from three to about twelve. At seventeen she is a gymnast, pole vaulter and a "flyer" cheerleader. Didn't hurt her one bit.

Watching Diners Drivin's and Dives..
One of the resturants were baking their bacon strips @ 325 degrees F on cookie sheet. 20 to 25 mintues and you flip it once or twice.
Oh my, you will never fry it up again. It comes out flat and crisp like you have never seen.
Like a radio commercial says, their product smells better than a new car wrapped in bacon!
Once again NPR does the heavy lifting.
I am staring speechless at the genius captured in that image.
Bacon is one of our guilty pleasures we have every Sunday morning. I have recently learned how to can it thanks to Backwoods Home article and now have around 60 pounds in the pantry that is shelf stable.
“an extruded meat product “
True. But what really makes me happy in the morning is a big bowl of grits, with a nice side of scrapple!
Best camping food in the world!!
“If bacon is the crack cocaine of the meat groups, Canadian bacon is the crystal meth.”
Correct in all particulars. Yummmmmmmmm
