Ode to Bacon
Oh sweet bacon that comes from above,
You had me at hello – it was pure piggy love.
You are everything I need or wanted in a meat.
With you sweet lover on my tongue, I feel so darn complete.
I love to watch you sizzle and pop on that grill.
Your oozing fat’s delicious, your texture is a thrill.
You get along with everyone but can stand on your own.
If taste was a kingdom, you’d have a porky throne.
I come before you now to get down on my knee.
If you say yes, dear Bacon, I’d just die in jubilee.
I’d love you till forever, I’d never say goodbye.
The day I’d stop loving is the day that piglets fly.
Love, K B
Oh Katie McBacony….you do have a way w/ words.
I hail from the land of bacon piglets (Iowa). On our 1st date, Mr. FC ordered bacon-wrapped scallops as an app for us and I knew I was in love.
I wanted a bacon-wrapped wedding cake but we opted for gourmet cupcakes instead. Boo.
Thank you for making my “Fry”-day, Katie Bower. You are a “bacon” of light in an otherwise dark and meatless morning. I believe I shall eat a BLT for lunch in your honor. Meat be with you. 🙂
You’re super funny! I love bacon as well and as much as I try to eat healthy, I can’t seem to let bacon go. Stop by when you have a chance, John and Sherry from YHL are feature on the City Escapes series this week.
Girl… believe it or not, I may be as big a bacon fan as you. Seriously. I was recently telling someone at work what my 3 main food groups are & they are as follows:
Bacon-y
Cheesy
Creamy
Mmmmm… I recently found the MOST amazing recipe for a creamy potato torte, baked up in a buttery, flaky crust that had thick-cut bacon all through the creamy, potato-y goodness 🙂
Love your poem!I thought I was the only one with a love affair with BACON!
Hahahaha! Great poem! I don’t eat pork, but I must admit that the BLT looks GOOD!
OMG… BACON. I think all your posts should be about bacon. This is making my mouth water!
Mmmm….bacon.
Please say that you have seen Jim Gaffigan’s King Baby (it’s stand up comedy and he’s awesome!!!)
He loves bacon too . . . oh, and so do I
You are ridiculous… yet an amazing poet, nonetheless. ha ha ha
mmmm….that looks so good!! question — how do you prevent your house from smelling like bacon 3 days later though?
Wow those pictures just made me so hungry!
Oh I HAVE TO send this to my husband. I love your bacon humor because I hear it all the time at home ;o)
Have you ever made your own bacon? Oh girl, you know we did! And I don’t even need to tell you how good it was. AMAZING!
Too funny! You should try a Bacon Explosion (you MUST Google this if you’ve never heard of it!) We’re having one tonight at our graduation party. Ok, I’ll be honest…we’re having three!
LOL Read your post and you got me craving my personal fav: pizza topped with grilled chicken and bacon. Yummy!
First of all – I am loving these bacon suggestions. I can’t wait to try each and every one of them 🙂 well maybe not the chocobacon. Sometimes two lovahs are not meant to be 🙂
Laura – I have never made my own bacon…but I am totally intrigued now. Maybe next time you make some of that amazing goodness you could send some my way 🙂
XO – Katie
Who’s the B&W baby pic?

Bacon cupcakes!
hahahahaha omg i love it!!! too freaking funny!!
I probably SO shouldn’t be writing something this gross BUT- my husband & i (and our friends) have all agreed that if we HAD to eat poop & could have 1 “mixer” with it, we would definitely wrap it in bacon. mm mm
anyway, just found your blog & am having a blast reading it!!! 🙂
xoxo,
lauren @ pure style home
Wow Lauren – that is both very disgusting and informative (can I be your friend too?)…but surprisingly, my mouth started watering. Go figure 🙂
Welcome girl and I hope that you continue having a blast around these parts.
XO – Katie
SOOOOOOOO FUNNY. It reminds me of the doggie commercial…I smell BACON! If only it were calorie free!
Ever tried honey mustard hot bacon dressing at Rafferty’s? DELICIOUS. Bacon and honey mustard…my two favorite things 🙂 love your blog!
I came across this article poking fun at the possibility of “diet coke with bacon”, and I knew I had to share it with you! http://www.thedieline.com/blog/2010/03/weve-all-seen-the-numbers-and-they-are-daunting-tens-of-thousands-of-new-products-launched-each-year-on-top-of-those-th.html
As a packaging designer, I often read articles about new products and packaging. Too bad this one didn’t become a reality – I think I know who their number one consumer would have been… 🙂
God – Bacon – Breathing
