Later it was chair, wine, and TV... a few episodes of NYPD Blue and the news. My heart breaks for all the people in Texas and the loss of 20,000 homes.

September 2nd
VJ Day
and
International Bacon Day : the Saturday before Labor Day
(LOL, I have a box of these!)


Bacon Day and International Bacon Day celebrates crispy strips of salted pork...Bacon! This is a day to thoroughly enjoy bacon at every meal. Snack time, too. It is recommend that you enjoy bacon today in social gatherings. So, go ahead, and have a bacon party!!
Suggested Bacon Menu for this Day:
 Start the day with bacon and eggs. Go ahead, take a couple extra strips.
For lunch, its definitely a BLT or Turkey Club with Bacon sandwich. And, don't forget a cup of potato and bacon soup.
Dinner can be a wide range of entrees, from a bacon cheeseburger to a bacon wrapped steak or bacon wrapped  scallops. Your salad should be topped with bacon bits, as well as your loaded baked potato.
For snack, it's cheesey bacon
It appears that Bacon Day in December and International Bacon Day evolved separately.

Today's Motto: Everything tastes better with bacon!
