August 20 is National Bacon Lovers’ Day. I’m not entirely convinced we need a National Bacon Lovers’ Day. After all, is there anyone who doesn’t love bacon? Bacon is salty and sweet. It’s chewy and crunchy. It improves almost every recipe you add it to. Sure, you’ve had bacon with your eggs and pancakes for breakfast, and you’ve enjoyed a juicy cheeseburger with a slice or two of bacon. But have you tried Bacon Guacamole? Cheesy Bacon Popcorn? A broiled Bacon Rueben with Swiss cheese and rye? Have you had warm Sauerkraut with bacon bits? Or Bacon/Apple/Brie Sandwiches? My current favorite way to serve bacon is in a BLT. I toast two slices of honey wheat bread and fry a couple of bacon slices until they’re ALMOST crispy. Then I drain the bacon and spread mayo on the bread. Add a little Romaine and a sliced tomato fresh from the garden and you’re in business!
