I’ve been wanting to ask my husband to do a guest post for Thankful Thursday for a while now… And when I read this prompt from Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop? I had to jump on it! The prompt? Bacon.
You see, last night we saw a commercial for mayonnaise. The commercial claimed that mayo made a B.L.T. better. My husband jumped on it, “No, it’s called a B.L.T. because bacon is the most important part of it. In fact, if you want to make it better, you add more bacon.”
So I asked him to tell me a little more about bacon, which I’m finding is something that men rate right up there.
Here are a few of his random bacon thoughts:
I like bacon.
I don’t get it as often as I’d like. And when I do, I have to share it. After all, the kids like bacon, too. But sharing is okay.
Bacon is the one thing they put on salads to trick you into eating salads when you’re really just after the bacon.
There aren’t many things that bacon don’t go with.
I’ve decided, next time I goof up around here, I’m making him bacon for dinner: flowers to apologize to women, bacon for men. (I’ve also decided he still owes me a Thankful Thursday post…)
So this week, thanks for bacon!

June 6, 2013 at 6:13 amI LOVE THIS BABE!!!! the best way to a man’s heart…BACON. Reminds me of the dog commercial for Beggin’s Strips… “BACON, BACON, BACON, Dog’s don’t know it’s not bacon.”
I am going to have to borrow this idea and make hubby do a guest post, LOL.
OneMommy says
June 6, 2013 at 10:42 pmYes, I love that commercial!
Okay, so if you get yours to do a guest post, make sure he is more awake than mine was…. I am pretty sure mine still owes me a guest post. After all, I did all the typing for this one! 🙂

June 6, 2013 at 8:11 amI chose bacon too! I mean, really, as soon as I came to that choice of prompts all of the others just kind of disappeared! A man that cooks me bacon is a keeper; forget the darned flowers, lol!
OneMommy says
June 6, 2013 at 10:41 pmYes, I have to say that prompt kind of stood out! 🙂

June 6, 2013 at 9:30 amI feel very similarly about bacon! My husband dated a girl who kept Kosher before we were together. She wouldn’t have any pork products in the house. My husband respected this but years without bacon took their toll! When we got together, we had it every Saturday. I’m very thankful for bacon. And coffee.
OneMommy says
June 7, 2013 at 4:56 pmWow — I think my husband would go crazy w/o pork products…
Definitely need the morning caffeine, too!

June 6, 2013 at 10:49 amI have a 17 year old son who loves bacon more than anything in the world. The trick to getting enough bacon is go to a breakfast buffet, like Golden Corral. It’s the one time he gets his fill, and it costs way less than it would if I bought that many packages of bacon at the store.
OneMommy says
June 7, 2013 at 4:54 pmGolden Corral… That is my husband’s favorite restaurant! I wonder if it’s because of the bacon….

June 6, 2013 at 2:16 pmMy husband LOVES bacon and would agree with everything that your husband said (except the kids and I don’t eat bacon, so he doesn’t have to share). Seriously, the man loves all pork products so much that I threw him a “Ham and Man” party 😉
IF you need to apologize for something, may I recommend bacon roses 😉
Although I really try my best to never apologize about anything, ever.
Stopping by from Mama Kat’s!
OneMommy says
June 7, 2013 at 4:54 pmI love that: “ham and man party”!
Now, I definitely need to check out the bacon roses… They may be the only flowers my husband ever likes!
Kathleen says
June 6, 2013 at 3:03 pmBacon – YUCK! I know, I’m unusual – But yes, guys like bacon but my man would rather have a steak – ha!
My fav foods – fruits and veggies 🙂 YUMMY STRAWBERRIES!
OneMommy says
June 6, 2013 at 10:40 pmI’m not a big bacon person, either. I like B.L.T.’s, but that’s about it.
Strawberries… yes! I am loving the ones in our strawberry patch this year!
Rach says
June 6, 2013 at 4:04 pmHaha! It’s true! I do eat salads in order to get to the bacon! 😉
OneMommy says
June 6, 2013 at 10:39 pmLove that! 🙂
Single Mom in the South says
June 7, 2013 at 6:30 amIt is about the bacon, but the mayo does make it SO much better. I order mine with a side of mayo so I can dip… which is why I only have a BLT like once a year!
OneMommy says
June 7, 2013 at 4:52 pmOh!!! Dipping it… I can totally see that!
All this bacon talk is making me think I need to make some B.L.T’s soon! 🙂
Chris Carter says
June 7, 2013 at 10:34 amGood luck with that post from your hubs!! LOL Bacon is beautiful. That’s all… 😉
OneMommy says
June 7, 2013 at 4:52 pmYes, he would agree with you: bacon rocks!
Jessica says
June 9, 2013 at 8:26 pmI try to hold out, but bacon is soooooo good. The guy at my farmers market sold me some shoulder bacon that had more meat on it. It’s a little healthier, and still tastes just like bacon.
OneMommy says
June 10, 2013 at 9:32 pmHmmm….. I might just have to look for that. Sounds even better than regular bacon!

June 13, 2013 at 5:41 pmWe love bacon sandwiches with the thick bacon and Perrons seasoning. I have to agree with your husband – I love bacon.
