Bit By the Bacon Bug

Here's a question for ya...

What's better than the SMELL of bacon???

{insert Jeopardy Theme Song Here}

Answer: EATING Bacon!!!

This evening after work, I stopped by Costco to pick up one thing...just ONE thing. I was there to get more salmon.

On the way to the salmon I was hit by this AMAZING smell...the smell of bacon cooking. As I got closer to the salmon, the bacon scent grew stronger. Wouldn't you know it...there was a woman giving out samples of applewood smoked bacon right there at the end of the aisle where the salmon is.

I watched folks line up for the sample, and thought, "Ah...I don't need a sample. Just get the salmon and go."

But that smell though!!!

Seconds later I too was in line waiting for my sample. It was DELICIOUS, and wasn't enough. So I briefly considered getting in line for another one...but that's against the rules, right?

So I get my salmon and have to pass by the bacon to head toward the register. Well I didn't HAVE to...I could've gone the long way around, but...

As I'm passing "The Bacon Lady" I notice the price of the bacon, and began my rationalization process as to WHY this would be a good purchase, and how much I was saving, yadda yadda yadda.

Well folks...who wants to take a guess at how much bacon I now have in my fridge (and freezer).

The funny thing is...I can't even remember the last time I bought bacon. Yeah...we buy that turkey stuff, but that's just not the same. More than likely I won't buy more for an even longer time. But as long as THIS bacon is here...I am gonna enjoy EVERY SINGLE SLICE.

Now...Let the DIALOGUE begin: Have you ever gone a long period of time without something, but then once you had a taste of it, you just HAD to have more?

Talk to me (while I go make some bacon)!

Til next time...
