Want to lure your vegetarian friend to the Dark Side? Bacon is the gateway meat.
Recently, an old friend who's been a vegetarian for more than 15 years shocked us with a story: Last weekend, she ate bacon. Several strips. Straight out of the frying pan where her boyfriend was cooking it.This wasn't the first time she'd encountered it sizzling there, in all its glistening glory. But for some reason, this time it overpowered her. She was guilty yet gleeful when she told us that she'd allowed bacon back into her life.
But she's not alone. We've heard this story before from many people. It seems that bacon has a way of awakening carnivorous desires within even some of the preachiest of vegetarians.
Mmmm... bacon.
And here's a review.
I know what I'm doing next weekend!
Er, is it "Happy New Year 2010" or "2011"? Well whatever.
I'm actually not a a big fan of new years. It's always very melancholy for me, and it marks the end of my favorite season: Halloween through New Years.
So I guess the take-away is: time to get back to work. Yay!
