More-on Excess
Okay. The bacon log of which I wrote last week was indeed an exercise in ridiculous excess. That said, it did taste good (in fact it was sublime).
The splurge is an interesting experience. Here is my take. When we are out of control on a splurge, be it on food, alcohol, shopping, anger, you name your vice, it doesn’t feel good before, during, or after. Yet I don’t recommend to anyone to try to lead an ascetic life. I like ice cream and wine and shopping and video games. There are lots of things I just am not willing to give up in their entirety. However, I am working on intentionality.
So the excess of the bacon log was a bit moronic. But I didn’t have seconds and I very likely will never make it again (or at least not for a long time). I believe in excess, so long as it’s in moderation.
