I Love Bacon Cinnamon Rolls

 I have to admit when I heard then woman in front of me in line exclaim, “I love bacon cinnamon rolls!” I thought she must be a little bit nutty.  I mean c'mon. Bacon...and cinnamon rolls?  Who puts bacon in a cinnamon roll?  But I guess I'm a little bit behind on the times here.  I wasn't aware that everybody in America was putting bacon into every dish they cook now.  I'll have to hurry to catch up.

Apparently folks are putting bacon into everything.  I've seen recipes for bacon brownies and bacon chocolate chip cookies.  So these bacon cinnamon rolls are not that uncommon I guess.  But chocolate covered bacon?  That sounds like something only a true bacon lover could eat!

I've seen recipes for hot dogs, wrapped in bacon, deep fried, covered in cheese and sprinkled with more bacon bits.  I've seen a recipe for a Bacturduckenon – a whole chicken stuffed with bacon baked inside of a whole duck baked inside of a whole turkey and wrapped with more bacon.  I've seen bacon weaves and even Baconhenge.

I've even seen bacon gifts and T-shirts and Kevin Bacon movie memorabilia.  The whole world has going bacon crazy and I'm just now finding out about it!  There are bacon cocktails made with Bakon vodka.  There are bacon spreads and bacon salts.  There are bacon bandages and even bacon flavored lip gloss!  And I just keep remembering that woman shouting, “I love bacon cinnamon rolls!”  It must be very scary right now to be a pig!
