Everything's Better With Bacon
For those of you that know me or have followed my blog, you know that food has always been an important part of who I am. I'm an engineer by trade but if I had my druthers, I'd have a career in the food industry. But of course, it's a very competitive field, there's very little guarantee of success, usually requires long hours and usually doesn't pay that well. So, I do all of my cooking for the love of the food. OK, this blog entry has gone off track from my original thought.

The point of tonight's entry is that at work, I've been the main instigator for tomorrow's pot luck which I will call "Thanksgiving - Thankful for Bacon!". Every dish that people bring in will have to include bacon! Yes, not healthy, but just about the tastiest food around. And of course, Everything's better with bacon!

The response at work has been somewhat lukewarm except for my main cohort R, so I'm going to be bringing in three things. An okra and tomato veggie dish, liberally laced with bacon, bacon ranch dip with chips and (drumroll please).... Chocolate covered-bacon! Yeah, you heard me. I've seen it on the Food Network and in a few other places on the web, so I had to give it a try. I'll let you know tomorrow how it all turns out! Day 24

Now this is REALLY a stretch for using bacon....
