Portents

You know it is a bad sign for the prospects of your day when upon arising all you can think of is bacon.  I tried then to confuse the Gods and change my fate by eating some fruit instead, but they are not deterred.  The Greek Chorus continues to chant into my ear, “Bacon, bacon, bacon …” 

Oh well, it is not discouraging that each piece of bacon represents thirty minutes on the elliptical machine.  I should be done exercising then after 6 hours or so

Don't fight the bacon. Resistance is futile.

In our household, I make bacon because it's one of the few protein sources that my skinny pre-teen girl enjoys. NO nitrate is the health concession I make.

PokerLawyer said...

It has a little protein, too, no?

Mmmmmm - bacon.

So. Very. Good.

Not So Simply Single said...

Oh yeah!

I LOVE BACON...

I say eat it and enjoy...It is one of life's few pleasures, right?

Life is short! Eat BACON!

The Greeks certainly enjoyed tragedies.

Read this post earlier, today, took my daughter out for 'breakfast for lunch' after I picked her up from school. We shared two sides of extra crispy bacon. Came back to tell you, just eat it and enjoy.

Have a great weekend, L.

*snort* funny, funny man.

You sound like my husband. He loves bacon, anyway he can get it.

People tell me I'm the weirdest person alive because I don't like bacon. Yeah, I know, I know it is strange but something about the texture, fat, taste it just doesn't rub me right.
But who cares. You are not me ;)

Have a nice relaxing weekend.

Oink!

My husband would share that mantra on weekend mornings, and I who do not each much bacon, though I enjoy it occasionally, can share in the smell. Fruit and bacon just don't compare. Your taste buds know this.

Home cured, dry cured, smoked who cares.
bacon is the business.

Best bacon roll I ever ate was in a small cafe in Scotland.

They dry fried home cured bacon, and then fried the open faces of the cut roll on the resultant bacon fat.

Ambrosial!

Did you know that the smell of frying bacon is responsible for curing more vegetarians than anything else?

I have not had bacon since 1992 and sometime I will wake up and that's all I want. And the word will re- appear all day, that greek chorus will also chant that you can't escape your desitiny... bacon or no

*laughing at what Antares said*

dbs said...

And yes, exercise should totally burn more calories than it does.

Kerry said...

Somebody needs to develop fruit-bacon: a super healthy fruit that fries up like bacon and smells like it too.

Laoch of Chicago said...

frosty, it does seem to be hard to escape your destiny.

dbs, exercise is quite a slog.

kerry, great idea.
