This absolutely blows my mind. My good friends Chrissy and Smiley went to a taping of The Price is Right for their 4-year anniversary, because they are awesome like that. To my utter delight, Smiley was picked and yes, he…

Okay, my husband is officially the best. He's a diver and a spearfisherman, and I'm extremely fortunate to be the beneficiary of those skills. While he's very selective and judicious about how much he takes, I have certainly had my…

Last month I came up with this little recipe in order to participate in a Spaghetti Western fundraiser...you can't do a pasta event without meatballs, right? Turns out, the meatballs were a hit and, since my husband missed that event,…

This weekend while the husband and I were biking around downtown, we decided to stop at Union Ale and grab a sandwich and a beer. Because, you know, casually rolling around in 75 degree weather is thirsty work. I meant to…

Santa Barbara has seen a rash of mobile food eateries pop up in the past year or so, as seen here in John Dickson's Food Truck Guide. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest things that can happen…

I mentioned way back in October that Naseem and I were going to start doing some races under the moniker of Team Bacon. We started with 5K runs and...well, honestly that's all I've really bothered to do over the past…

Leave it to Conan, THE MAN, to share with us yet another bacon bebida. Sweet Conan, I'm so on your team. Lots of interesting looking stuff, but the bacon talk starts around 6:10. Wait for it... "Wait, so this is just…

We recently entered a contest hosted by our sponsor, Foodbuzz. It was a BACON recipe contest, and we felt it would be an embarrassment not to enter. Because, you know, we're a bacon blog. We were not victorious (an outrage!) but I…

If you're a bacon lover, then you probably have your own special recipe for the perfect BLT. (Incidentally, if you're not a bacon lover, you may have steered yourself to the wrong site.) I've always loved a simple sandwich on…

What happens when two inventive Brits combine bacon and rocketry? Windows beware. Rathergoodstuff, you rule.

Okay, after yesterday's post I got an email with the following photo which, in my opinion, totally kicks the meat manger scene's ass. I mean, the manger scene is hilarious, but would you check out the artistry on this thing?…

First things first, you may have noticed that we've updated the site! My never-ending thanks to Naseem, the brainiac behind the design. I can't even tell you guys how much time she spends thinking about the look and functionality of…

A representative of Wendy's contacted us recently and asked if we'd like to try some of their menu items, particularly their new "Pick Two" promotion, where you get two items for $4.99. Neither Naseem nor I had been to Wendy's…

Just a quick note to tell you that TEAM BACON (aka Naseem and I) are running a 5K for the Cancer Center of Santa Barbara this weekend. It's our first "race" but certainly won't be our last. We'll be out…

Now that I'm coming out of my sugar coma, I can tell you all about our delightful, delicious fundraiser, Sweet Sunday! Royal Bacon Society sponsored this event to benefit Genesis West, our favorite cutting edge, contemporary theater company here in…
