Ever wonder how your delicious bacon was made? You may be surprised to learn that at some bacon factories, your bacon takes a trip in the microwave! Shoot, maybe ALL bacon factories. I'm no expert, I just eat the stuff.…

Let's say you're a studly high school senior looking to make a splash at the prom. It's your last year and you want to go out with a bang. But how? Exploding pants? Spiking the punch? Streaking during the coronation…

In case you haven't already met, I just have to introduce you to the Annals of Bacon Research. I'm super impressed with this team, first because they paired the word annals, which my husband cannot say or look at without…

Ready to proclaim your commitment? Not QUITE ready to wear it on a t-shirt like a billboard? Well here's the perfect compromise. The I Love Bacon Necklace. Simultaneously bold yet understated, casual observers may even mistake it for the infamous…

There are a wide variety of ways to express your love of bacon. In coming posts I'll show you some wearable trinkets designed by the truly devout. I begin today with the BLT Ring, with big thanks to Cool Hunting…

When these little guys first hit the scene, I was fascinated. And given the success of their Quizno's commercial, just think what they could do for our friend bacon!

I've seen a number of interesting sweet/salty combinations involving bacon, especially where maple syrup is involved. But here's a brilliant new idea that combines two things that I truly love. Bacon and Chocolate. The Vosges Haut-Chocolat website is not only…

My roommates buy a lot of fancy stuff  for me.  Environmentally friendly biodegradable poop bags. (Who cares?) French Vanilla scented shampoo for sensitive skin. (Like I want a bath.) Two dog beds that they for some reason stack on top…

I don't know what I love more: the interweb, or people from the mid-West who make my job so easy. Maybe this idea was too obvious, maybe I should already have come up with it myself. But it was just…

It seems nearly unfathomable that it has taken me this long to get to it. I saw it months ago. I noticed it on a menu in Vegas. I've been simultaneously intrigued and repulsed since it first came to my…

This commercial reminds me of the excruciating year that my husband and I decided to be vegetarians. It would have been a lovely experiment if we hadn't both gained 10 pounds from all the extra carbs and cheese we packed…

It's kind of long, but you'll feel great knowing that no matter how much pizza/fast food/alcohol you consumed, it could have been worse.

As a constant frequent maker of bacon, I tend to stick to the pan-fry method. It's simple and gives me the drippings I require to make everything else in any given meal taste like bacon. Although I have baked it…

Maple-Bacon Lollipops. There isn't much I can say about this product that it doesn't say for itself. It's made of maple syrup and bacon. It's pretty much breakfast on a stick. Next Saturday morning, you can serve your family eggs…

I would say that in certain circles, I'm known for my "extensive" use of bacon and pork products. Beyond wrapping my favorite steaks, poultry and seafood, I am a fervent believer that bacon makes any vegetable desirable to even the…

While listening to NPR last October or so, I heard an interview with the inventors of a miracle. It's called BaconSalt, and I was immediately enthralled. There was even a really great creative financing story behind its inception, so I…
