Bacon burglar busted

I've heard the saying "crime makes you stupid." Apparently it also makes you hungry. In yet another tale of hungry burglars (remember similar stories with pizza or pears?) a 45-year-old Utah man was arrested in Salt Lake after police found him chowing down on two pounds of bacon that he'd fried in another man's apartment. The tenant came home around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday to find the unexpected guest munching away in his kitchen. Police said that, upon arrest, the bacon-eater was too intoxicated to be interviewed. Two pounds of bacon can do that sometimes.

Now I want some bacon. I just finished my brunch, too. Ground beef omelette with ginger teriyaki sauce. My own home grown food porn. Yum.
