Wow--so coffee is the new health drink! I am sending this to all of my non-coffee-drinking pals. God bless coffee.
Now I need another cup of coffee after reading this, and I don't care if it's 8:30pm! :-) And please tell me bacon is just as healthy and I'll be the happiest guy in New York. Haha.
By the way, always nice to 'meet' a fellow New yorker food blogger. I'll back around here. :-)
I always figure that as long as I crisp the bacon and render most the fat, it's super-healthy, pure protein.
Right?
I miss coffee! Waaah...
Ten years ago, I thought the Japanese researchers were mad for saying that coffee was healthy. Or that it was one of those "must work harder" Japanese things. :)
But then western scientists started saying it too! And it's so convenient. This isn't bad for me... it's a health drink!
