I always told myself I'd never buy bacon at home because it's a dangerous combination of heart-attack and deliciousness.... I broke my rule last weekend because I had friends in town and wanted to cook a big breakfast but then that kinda fell through and I was stuck with about 1/2lb of turkey bacon (50% less fat) and 1/2lb of traditional bacon in the fridge.
I didn't want it to spoil and I knew that if I froze it I would forget about it and it would get freezer burn and ruined so last night I said fuck it - let's rock and roll - so I decided to cook it all at once. What proceeded can be described as no less than an orgy of bacon. I wasn't counting but it must have been a half dozen frying pan loads worth of bacon... I ate it as I cooked more and then took most of what was left and made a massive triple-decker bacon, turkey and cheese sandwich... and finally had to throw out the remaining few pieces.
Looking back at it this morning, in the throws of heartburn and guilt, I still have to appreciate how tasty that sandwich was! If I wasn't so damn skinny I'd feel like a fat ass pig but rather than gain weight I think I just shaved a couple of weeks off of my life. Never again!!
