Today, August 20th, will be henceforth known as National Bacon Lovers Day. I did not declare said holiday myself, but someone did. And, for that. I thank them. Because, obviously. Bacon Day happens only once a year (in December, mark your calendars), and that, my friends, is just not often enough to celebrate the cured saltiness of America’s favorite meat product. My dad once told me he was going to get a bacon tattoo. He wasn’t kidding. (we talked him out of it, though) From the ingenius bacon-smelling alarm clock to, well, bacon tattoos, this country is obsessed with the fatty underbelly of the beloved pig. So, today. We celebrate bacon. Enjoy these jalapeño poppers. With or without the bacon.
