A bacon love letter

Dear beloved Bacon, 

Thank you so very much for making the ultimate sacrifice for me.  I really appreciate your salty, meaty, smokey, crispy deliciousness. You make my mornings brighter and my taste buds joyous. You give me energy to last for entire morning. If you are ever an option for lunch or dinner, the answer is an definite, "Hell yeah!" You are forever welcome in my tummy for a snack...day or night. 

I love the way you play so well with everyone you meet. Sandwiches, salads, pasta, potatoes, pizza, soups, other meats...they all adore you. It doesn't end with the savory folks either. I know you and maple syrup have been lifelong lovers (I promise I am not jealous). Cupcakes, pancakes, chocolate, truffles, doughnuts...fall instantly in love whenever you are near. No matter the recipe, you always elevate the mundane to stratospheric heights. 

The truth is...I need you! Please don't ever change. You are perfect just the way you are. I never want to imagine a world where bacon feels it needs to be "skinny". Every time I smell your intoxicating fragrance, my brain screams, "Yes, YES, YES!!!" 

In short, dear bacon, thanks for making this life a more delicious place. Until we meet again (hopefully tomorrow morning). 

All my love, 
Amanda
