I apologize for not posting in a while. My good friend Steve was in town this week visiting from New York and I was showing him around Holland. We biked around our little town of IJsselstein, had pannenkoeken in Utrecht, and partied in Amsterdam.
Needless to say, I’m exhausted after a fun-filled week with new friends and old!
A former colleague of mine, April, sent me the Bacon website. She knows about my obsession with bacon. The website was started by others who have a love for bacon and they “scour the earth looking for truly magical pork.” Talk about awesome. I wonder if they ship internationally…
I am definitely getting this t-shirt - “BACON is like a little hug from GOD.” Amazing.
I guess I have to wait until December when Jarno and I are back in New York to satisfy my hickory smoked bacon craving. I definitely miss good ol’ American breakfast. Although, I do have to say the Dutch are pretty good with their bacon here as well. Their thick cut bacon is delicious - Jarno’s mom makes it with Andijvie Stamppot and it’s quite heavenly.
My girlfriends Melissa and Jocelyn got me some Piggy Popcorn while they were out in Nashville, TN earlier this year doing the Country Music Marathon. The sweet and savory was so wonderfully delicious. I wonder if they ship internationally as well…
Homer Simpson said it best:
Lisa: “I’m going to become a vegetarian”
Homer: “Does that mean you’re not going to eat any pork?”
Lisa: “Yes”
Homer: “Bacon?”
Lisa: “Yes Dad”
Homer: “Ham?”
Lisa: “Dad all those meats come from the same animal”
Homer: “Right Lisa, some wonderful, magical animal!””
Homer is kind of a genius and I heart him.
