Not being a true fan of cured meats and the like, I thought it was interesting someone could have possibly been so attached to swine that he/she felt it necessary to erect this colossal monument in its name. I know many people who love the taste of bacon but I don't think they are really devoted to one type of ration and they certainly would never think to honor its sacrifice with pillars of stone. At best it would be the wrong fork with 3 tines which I suppose could be mistaken for a powerful trident. Don't get me wrong, I acknowledge the true gifts that will come from this, BLT sandwiches, pork chops, sausage, casseroles, this list is limited only by your culinary genius. So I tip my hat to you Bacon! May your gifts continue to fill the bellies and increase the blood pressure of those who continue to consume you!
I on the other hand, will like to think this is Wilbur from Charlotte's Web and it was a VERY good friend who chose to remember him because animals are my friends and I don't eat my friends.......usually.
So in keeping with the letter theme I have chosen the letter "B" for the month of August. Be well.
I will B looking forward to all the things you will B creating and that you will B cooking and that you will B taking photos of this month! This should B very exciting for all of us.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it and B good.

PS - Are you sure the picture isn't just a stirring homage to the movie actor - Kevin Bacon?
BACON!! We Douthitts do love our salty strips of swine with a side of eggs and OJ. :-) I even got Luke a "bacon of the month" for Valentine's day (I could only afford 3 month's worth)! True love I sent that boy! Ha! Will B on the lookout for your Bs...perhaps starting with your favorite three Boys? Love y'all!
