This e-mail arrived with the subject line: Marry Me!
Oh my gosh I LOVED your column this morning! If I didn’t actually respect your better half for giving you bacon for Christmas I would pursue the marriage proposal harder. I know there are a lot of bacon of the month clubs on line but I was wondering if you could recommend 1 or 2 that I could tell people to give me for Christmas. Since you have proven your expertise at this I figured that you knew of the better clubs on-line. Thanks for your help and thanks for the great column! Jeff
Hi Jeff....
Thanks so much for the e-mail! Grateful Palate probably has the most well-known bacon-of-the-month club. Haven’t participated in it myself -- yet -- though I’ve sampled some of its artisan bacon varieties. Mmmm ... wonderful! And if your friends won’t splurge for the club, the site also has a number of thoughtful and very imaginative bacon-related gifts.
So the latest on our list of 1,001 things to do with bacon:

Happy Holidays!
