Mmmm Meat and Potatoes

I have always been a meat and potatoes kind of guy. So I am very excited by this new product:

Bakon Vodka!



Now they spell bacon with a k and I am hoping that it is for trademarking purposes, not because it is some artificial bacon like krab is to crab meat. The bottle also reads "A Premium Bacon Flavored Vodka", I suppose that could be taken to mean a premium vodka that is bacon flavored, or the way I want to take it, a vodka flavored with premium bacon.

We are going to have to find a bottle of this like right away and give it a taste or twenty and let you all know how it turns out. It is only available in the northwest, anybody up for shipping us a bottle??

Check out the site there are some great recipe ideas, you can also sign up to find out when it hits your zip code.

I gotta see if I have any old friends in Seattle...

Guidance for H1N1 diagnosis..

A lot of people are worried about the swine flu. Despite the scientific information provided here yesterday.

Well the googles are your friend and now if you really need to know...

Your welcome.

Flu Prevention

I am sure that I read this on the interwebs somewhere, therefore it MUST be true, and probably has a ton of science behind it.  Swine Flu is the latest buzz, with the scare tactic news organizations having a field day hyping the end of the world or some similar hysteria.  Fear not!  Apparently if you eat a lot of bacon, and no i don't mean 4 strips at breakfast instead of 2, but A LOT of bacon, like the lords of bacon do, it will give your body a natural immunity to the swine flu.  I can only speak for us, and I can attest that neither Bacon Jason or I have any symptoms, we'll keep you posted.

(Disclaimer: If you have died from the swine flu we apologize if this seemed insensitive, if you are sick with the swine flu, please stay home and get better)

Wearable Bacon

Here is a link to some bacon jewelery, I know what my woman is getting for our anniversary!

My question is.. where are they wearing that bracelet in the picture, around the elbow? Or is that the back of a knee?

Its Science!!!!!!

I recall a story about scientists in the UK creating a formula for the perfect bacon sandwich, and now from the UK, scientific evidence of a bacon related hangover cure.  So remember before you tie one on, make sure you got a rasher of bacon in the fridge for the morning after.  

Shout outs to Nik for pointing me to a fantasticly named blog where this story was posted.

Pork and Whiskey   I ask you , does it get better than that?  Sounds like a better version of one of my Alice Cooper albums.

A different sort of squeeze....

Hope everyone had a great April Fools Day. I tried for a bag o' crap, but alas still not a winner. Our friend Tim pointed us to another 04/01 bacon special, the bacon lube, it must have slipped past us the other day.... (pun intended).

Lets see... 'makin bacon' joke? nahhhh, too easy. Its labeled J&D's whose items are all kosher.... circumcision joke? no.. to far of a stretch. sometimes, a picture is worth a thousand words, not gonna spoil it by trying to name them all.

The most tedious day on "the googles".....

You may or may not understand what I mean by the title of the post, rest assured, it is today. While you are pondering that, be sure to head over and get some Squeez Bacon® it is almost as good as the instant bacon (review coming soon). Speaking of that if anyone thinks hiding my instant bacon or my Baconnaise is funny...... it is not. Well at least not creative. Have fun out there, and remember, don't be a sucka.

I wish my iPhone had a smell feature...

I have a bacon wallpaper on my iPhone, so any time I get the urge I can whip it out and BAM!!! pocket bacon! Well that just doesn't cut it anymore. XenonOfArcticus sent us a link to an app that I honestly cant believe wasn't done sooner. Pocket Bacon for your iPhone.

Pick your pan, slap down some bacon and it fries right up. But lest you think that is all it does, hold the phone, you have a location based bacon finder for bacon serving restaurants near you. But wait, there's more! An RSS reader that pulls in the latest bacon related news.

So if you love bacon and you have an iPhone, you should probably pick up this application. Its $2 bucks and you can get it right here. (iTunes link)

Playing catch up.....

So while we were away, there was some sort of "Bacon Explosion"? I got like 157 emails to this while I was out so I was super psyched to finally get a chance to check it out. Man was I dissapointed, anyone else think if you are gonna call it Bacon Explosion, maybe you use some ground up bacon? But to their credit they do call it "The BBQ Sausage Recipe of all Recipes" Its nice they took sausage and made it better, they added bacon, that's a no brainer. But it did raise the underlying bacon consciousness when it went viral, so that has its merits. One of the guys at work (thanks for keeping my job available while I was 'away' btw... pays to simply work for bacon, more on that in a minute) made one of these, and said he enjoyed it, I asked what the best part was.... yes, the bacon.

So speaking of "working for bacon" apparently someone was so enspired by the sausage explosion, err I mean that BBQ bacon dealio that they want to open a bacon themed restaurant. A friend snapped this pic recently while at lunch. And its an actual site, this gentleman, Dru Morgan, a guy with obviously good taste is trying to 'crowd-fund' the whole shebang. Great news is it is apparently in my neck of the woods. So that is one place I could eat at all the time, I wish him the best of luck, and if I did facebook, I might even "add him" or whatever it is you do on those super fun social networks. Bacon Jason and I had this very idea many many times, not the crowd funding but the bacon restaurant, so there are two loyal customers. I dont do the facebook but count me in for $50 and save me a spot at the baconbar.

Another thing that is I guess you could say 'viral' or at least making the rounds is a photoblog that has lots of pictures of various food... "oddities"? "creations"? "fantasies made into reality"? what ever they are, the websites name says it all: http://thisiswhyyourefat.com/ its is worth scanning through the back pages of submissions as there are some truly fantastic bacon related items in there, in fact I think the first post was a shot of the marvelously magical Baconnaise. Bacon Jason and I are abut to order our second case, yes case C-A-S-E, bacon dipped in baconnaise is.. well you can imagine, its heavenly. Our only complaint, its bacon flavored, without the bacon, its completely kosher!!! Not that there is anything wrong with that, but if they can make creamy bacon goodness WITHOUT bacon, my god!!!!! can you imagine if bacon was on the ingredient list???!?!?!?!?!

Well I am sure there is plenty of stuff we have missed, look for a more frequent posting patern as Jason and I continue our baconquest, and no matter how funny it sounds over a bottle of scotch, we will not be assaulting anyone (else) with bacon taken mysteriously out of our pants, its staying put. I don't mean in our pants there is no bacon in our pants, but the first part, about keeping our bacon to ourselves, on our plates. Well thats not true either not on our plates as it is never there for to long cuz we eat it. OK worst allegory ever.

Sweet Freedom, smells like bacon!

So, you ever hear about those animal lovers that throw the red paint on people that wear fur? Ya know what you don't hear about is what happens after, like being arrested, incarcerated, etc. So imagine if you say wanted to get the word out about sayyy something tasty??? Let's say bacon, for instance. And perhaps you had heard about the first part, but maybe not the consequences. The lawyers said we shouldn't really go into any detail here on the blog, but did you know that "assault" does NOT have to be with a deadly weapon?? Me niether. Did you also know that the county lockup has no WiFi? Its like prison in there. AND... you can NOT have bacon for all your meals, even if you state religious beliefs? Its like the theme song to "Baretta", if you cant do the time..... but seriously kids, "stay in school".

Any way, after a prolonged absence and our charitable work in the service of the state, we are back, and ready for more bacon goodness.

stay tuned.
