Six pieces of Oscar Meyer center-cut bacon do not yield much grease. The thin remaining veneer of lipids is just enough to cook and flavor two eggs without the eggs sticking to and burning on the griddle. The mountain of meat and egg fuel a ritual moment of thought and reflection.
In the name of Pork.
The salty bacon is pleasing, and I recall pleasing experiences from yesterday. The way the Barnhardt trail, which we ran across so serendipitously, curled along the mountain wall – into side canyons, all the while gently climbing. The peaks in the area were grandiose enough to remind me slightly of the Andes.
We were not sure if the mythical waterfall on the map would be flowing, and I was about ready to turn around. I was getting worried about all the underbrush I was swishing through with bare legs and arms . He insisted walking just ten minutes more and picked up the pace. And within five minutes, we saw it – a secretive trickle dribbling down the rocky wall of a slot canyon into a black rocky puddle. It felt like it could be the portal to Gollum’s world, and I was quietly very satisfied to be there.

I <3 bacon. The hardest thing to give up ever. Have you seen the cool reclosable bacon packages? They are great for us single folk. http://hirechelsea.com/blog/2008/11/18/the-usability-of-bacon/
