Bacon has become some weird food fad that doesn't know how to fade. It doesn't help that people have formed the cult of bacon and they say dumb crap like "Bacon makes everything better!" and make bacon flavored chapstick and crap. Bleh. Gross. No!

Beans and rice and cream cheese? Huh. Which country?

I was raised in Louisiana, so they do Red beans and Rice, usually pintos, but there's also white beans and rice. There's no cream or dairy involved, but I feel that it has lots of flavor. Mashing some of the beans imparts a bit of a creaminess to it.
