Wright’s Bacon – Oh, How I Love Thee

Wright's Bacon...oh, how I love thee. Let me count the ways.

1) You are so crispy and delicious.

2) You are the perfect combination of smoky and salty goodness.

3) You are the best bacon I have ever tasted in my life.

I love bacon, and I am a true believer that bacon makes everything better. I'm not sure if you all have ever tasted Wright's bacon? If you have, you would know it. In my humble opinion, it is simply the best bacon in the world. My mom got me hooked on Wright's. I am not quite sure at what point she started using it, but I can distinctly remember standing in the kitchen, tasting it and asking with enthusiasm, "Mom, what kind of bacon is this? This is different. This is delicious!" She replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "It's Wright's - the best bacon out there."

So, I'm addicted...everything in moderation of course. It is my suggestion whenever you are in need of some bacon, whether it be for a Sunday morning breakfast or to make some fresh crumbles for your potatoes, turn to Wrights. At AF, Wright's is our preferred brand of bacon. You won't be disappointed. It's available at a Publix near you. A 1.5 lb. package costs $4.99, and a 3 lb. package sells for $10.99.

Happy frying!

News Flash: Time to Stock Up on Wine at Whole Foods

Heads up wine lovers! Whole Foods offers 20 percent off cases of wine a few times of year, and all stores are holding a Spring sale from April 26 through May 2. Here's how it works: put together a collection of 12 bottles that you like and see significant savings at the register. You can mix and match 12 or more bottles, and the discount even applies to sale prices. There are a few exceptions (like Veuve Clicqout), but most vintages are eligible and there are great deals to be had. I picked up a bottle of Redtree, a fantastic pinot noir out of St. Helena, California, last night for only $7.99. Kinger and I are going back later this week to put together a case of cheap bottles and split the cost. Call to reserve a case or stop by your neighborhood Whole Foods and talk to one of the wine specialists, who will order and set aside your wine. Happy drinking!
