Leggo My Bacon Jam

Jason is the most difficult person to shop for. No article of clothing I buy ever fits him right. And he’s pretty much content with all his current material possessions. Asking for a gift list from him is like pulling teeth. So with Christmastime and his B-day falling in the same week I need to get creative.

I can’t remember where I first saw it, but when I discovered Bacon Jam I knew I had to click add to cart and wrap it up with a big red bow. Jason has introduced me to many things over the years including things I didn’t think I would initially like. Okay, it’s not like he introduced me to bacon. But he made me realize I was depriving myself of something I really liked. Because I was always stealing bites of his strips over brunch. Until one day he cut me off and told me to order my own. And like my college adviser taught me, if it makes you feel good, everything in moderation is probably okay.

I purchased a jar, dropped it in his stocking and couldn’t wait for him to unwrap it so that I could have a taste. And it was in high demand. Word got out that this guy up in Seattle was making some seriously good grub out of his street cart. It was backordered and my jar made it just in time for Christmas morning.

And it really is super yummy. Spread on Dave’s Killer Bread with slices of thick tomato makes the best grilled cheese sandwich you will ever experience. It’s also delicious tossed in a pasta or on your morning bagel.

But we’ve come to the bottom of the jar and now I it’s time to order more. I was thinking of giving it to Jason for Valentine’s Day but to be honest, that would really just be a gift for myself.
