Mmmmm.....bacon. *shivers*

As a reformed vegetarian who still professes to eat predominantly vegetarian (when I'm not at my mama's house) I'd like to take this moment to share my secret love for bacon.  It's pretty phenomenal.  Bacon is even better when it is taken to the next level.  I've been known to nosh on dark chocolate covered crispy bacon treats at Co Co. Sala, a fab little place that bills itself as a "chocolate lounge & boutique."  My next bacon experience will be porkorn.  Yes, porkorn.  Otherwise known as salted caramel popcorn with little bacon bits sold at a newly opened restaurant called Bayou Bakery.  This will be a diet fail.  But a bacon win!  Pics to come...

**Update**  Now that I have climbed back on the vegetarian wagon, this article is incredibly relevant and appropriate to share: http://www.npr.org/blogs/health/2011/01/28/133304206/why-bacon-is-a-gateway-to-meat-for-vegetarians
