Everything is better with bacon

It's a well known fact that everything is better with bacon (ask Adam Scott about bacon covered maple bars).  My daughter, Hannah, and her little brother Max both have a "Becca type adoration" for bacon and can even perceive even the mere thought from their mother when bacon preparation is imminent.  To say the least...there's no lack of love for bacon at our house.

When my Love of Bacon Began

Summer 2004. Bacon Bacon Bacon. I had decided I deserved a little graduation present in the form of one summer of frivilous work and eating habits. I chose Signal Mountain Lodge in beautiful Grand Teton National Park. Breakfast in the employee dining room (EDR) always constisted of bacon and biscuits and gravy. There were other things available, like oatmeal and fresh fruit, which I dabbled in occasionally. But I decided I could a) eat bacon everyday and b) I had earned about 100 straight days of bacon. It was a beautiful thing. Alas, I gained in weight approximately the poundage of bacon consumed. But it was worth it......just to know that bacon really does make everything better.
