It's Friday, and time for some fun. Recently, I let out my inner juvenile in the comments over at Mandy Thompson's blog. You see, I have this thing about bacon. I think nearly any food item can be made better with bacon on it. I could easily eat my own weight in bacon, but then I would weigh a whole lot more, so I could probably never catch up on my bacon to weight ratio. Umm…I digress.

There is a life philosophy that I recently saw reinforced on a t-shirt worn by chef Rick Bayless on his tv show.

Can you read that? It says, "Bacon is meat candy." Yes! That phrase says it all. So, in celebration of bacon, here's some great bacon themed tidbits. You might call them bacon bits.

Some of the tweets I follow on Twitter have started the "Receive Bacon" initiative.

You can get your own bacon t-shirts at baconfreak.com:

Don't forget the bacon dispensers found in many public restrooms:

And don't forget, "bacon bits are like the fairy dust of the food community."

Eat more bacon.

Comment and add some bacon.
