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.
