In the Kitchen: BaconMelon

I’ve had an internal battle raging within me for several years now: I love watermelon. I love it as much as bacon. In fact, summertime is watermelon time, and bacon has always taken a back seat in the heat.

Until now.

I’m not real sure why it’s taken me so long to think about this. All those wasted years of choosing one or the other. The salty meat is a perfect complement to sweet, tender melons. (Yeah, I meant it to sound that way.)

The whole thing is as simple as crumbling bacon over ice-cold watermelon.

Here’s the recipe:

1) Crumble bacon over ice-cold watermelon.

2) Eat it.

3) Beg my forgiveness for ever doubting me in the first place.

Not to self: use fresh bacon next time.
