Last evening I tried a new recipe for Pasta E Fagioli (Pasta Fazool, to use the vernacular). It turned out especially well. I believe it might have had something to do with the bacon*. The recipe called for cooking two chopped strips of bacon. The bacon was so thick and lean and smelled so comforting that I added an extra strip. Of course that extra strip could have only been a positive thing. I decided then and there that bacon IS the new sugar. Much like sugar, bacon makes just about everything better. It's a breakfast standby, proposes to your club sandwich at lunch and the dinner possibilities are endless.
Come on sing along with me:
A spoon full of [Bacon] helps the medicine go down.
The medicine go down.
The medicine go down.
Just a spoon full of [bacon] makes the medicine go down, in the most delightful way.
Not buying it? Well try this: think of your favorite meal(s). Wouldn't it/they be better with bacon or more bacon? Not turkey bacon mind you, the real stuff from Mr. Ziffle's farm. We are carnivores aren't we? We haven't convinced ourselves that we have evolved into only plant eating creatures have we? Well, some of us and I do love you all but... Even dogs love the stuff, if I am to believe the commercials.
Okay, okay, bacon isn't exactly heart smart but, neither is a job that you hate, interacting with teenagers or traffic for that matter. Someone once told me that, "not even a good job loves you back." The Pasta Fazool with bacon did so love me back.

*Bacon should only be enjoyed in moderation.
You are soooo crazy,,,I laughed like hell, when I started reading the first line, singing it like a mary poppins jingle...I don't frequently eat bacon, but I do howevewr have a pack in my frig, thawing,,,and I'm still laughing........I guess I'm IDENTIFYING!
