Bacon: One Man’s Thoughts

by

 

 

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!

  1. I 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!

  2. I 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.

  3. I 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.

  4. My 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!

    • I 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!

  5. Bacon – 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!

    • I’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!

  7. Yes, 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! 🙂

  8. It 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!

    • Oh!!! 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! 🙂

  10. I 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.

  11. We love bacon sandwiches with the thick bacon and Perrons seasoning. I have to agree with your husband – I love bacon.
