• MMM... BACON

  If you are reading this post due to the gratuitous boobage covered by bacon, my apologies.  This post is not about combining boobs with bacon, nor is it about bacon bras, bacon in boob shape, or boobs flavored with bacon.  Though come to think of it, those are all awesome ideas.
  
  Anyway, if you are reading this post based only on the bacon.  Then you have come to the right place.  Read on, dear friend.
  

  There is an old saying, “everything tastes better with bacon." I think some famous guy said it. What’s his name? Oh yeah, Jesus.

  So I decided to put ole’ Jesus’ word to the test. Does everything taste better with bacon? I think the answer is a resounding yes.
  

  Breakfast. In my opinion, it’s not really an official breakfast until you get a couple slices bacon. Eggs, toast, and home fries? Pretty good. Bacon, eggs, toast, and home fries? Baby, you’ve got yourself a breakfast.

  Sandwiches. I don’t really care what type of sandwich you are eating, chances are that sandwich will be better once you slap a couple slices of bacon on it. Turkey, or turkey with bacon? Ham, or ham with bacon? Vegetarian sandwich, or vegetarian sandwich with bacon? It’s pretty much a no-brainer.

  Snack food. The other day I was at a farmers market and a woman was peddling her wares, in this case peanuts roasted with little bits of bacon and honey. In-fucking-credible. It’s actually a small wonder that this isn’t the only way to eat peanuts. Think of all the protein!

  Dessert. I have recently begun work at a new job (I know, finally). The job happens to be at a bakery that specializes in delicious pastries. People who know me know that I have a certain weakness for baked goods. The Rizzo food pyramid consists of a foundation of donuts, a second layer of ice cream and cookies, a third layer of cakes, muffins, and potatoes, and a drop of soda to top it all of.

  Damn, I really want a pastry.

  But I digress. We’re not talking about pastries here. There will be a time and a place for that.

  Where was I? Bacon? Oh yeah, bacon.

  Anyway, this bakery I work at had the good sense of applying Jesus’ “everything tastes better with bacon” to a baked good. The “maple bacon biscuit” was born. It is a biscuit, with maple and bacon. Add a glass of milk to the equation and holy shit, it’s Rizzo heaven.

  So, loyal readers of Mancouch, I put it to you. I dare you to try and find a food that a little bacon won’t make better.
  

  While you’re frying all that bacon, make sure to save the grease. It is a great substitute for olive or vegetable oil in your cooking.
