I'm sure many of you were aware that there was a vote taking place to determine once and for all which breakfast meat is truly king: bacon or sausage. Over at Super Action Vote, people were submitting videos and voting…

Most days my posts have to do with some great bacon find, or a cool recipe, or a weird product. Today I just want to talk about eating bacon, the way we did on Sunday morning. Saturday evening Naseem and…

A reader named Chrissie sent me a link to this recipe for Bacon Caramels, and I cannot thank her enough. Although I've never made candy, and I know it can be tricky, I think we'll give these a try for…

I know the 4th of July was almost a week ago, and that by posting a week late I seem deeply ungrateful for my many liberties, but that popcorn post was really important. Plus? I was too hungover on Sunday…

I have to start this post with two apologies. First, I apologize to the Paradise Island Gourmet Popcorn company. We were remiss in sampling your product. Second, I apologize to our readers, for not getting the word out sooner about…

I've been thinking all week, and I decided I just don't have much bacon news to report from across the pond. Although we did enjoy the bacon turnovers in England a great deal, I can't find a photo of them...Naseem probably…

Cheerio! Royal Bacon Society is back from our European Vacation! (Naseem, by the by, has never seen European Vacation and never laughed once when I said, "Look Naseem, Big Ben. Parliament." I started feeling kind of stupid after the 10th…

I tend to get really lazy about cooking when my husband is out of town, which is good in some ways. More salads, fewer rich cream sauces, less red meat. But my husband's gone a lot so eventually I get…

A late night snack? FIVE POUNDS of bacon?! That's really...something. Thanks Joelle!

Bacon Lovers, I've missed you. I'm sorry we were gone so long. I was heavily distracted by all things domestic and my new project: home ownership. March was a long month, but April holds great promise. So while I was out,…

We recently received a delightful surprise in the mail from Das Foods: the Man Bait Lollipop! Das Foods specializes in lots of gourmet goodies including a variety of caramels, lollipops and sea salts. For obvious reasons, Founder and CEO Katie…

So we all know bacon has been infused with all kinds of liquors. Hell, I made Bacon Bourbon more than once myself. Until now these have just been recipes concocted at home or in America's swankiest bars, but no longer!…

So I know the Bacon Explosion is probably getting old for some of you, but I never made it because I don't like sausage. I'm a little slow on the up-take, but eventually an idea came to me: substitute hamburger…

I've found a new blog to add to my favorites. It's called Delish, and of particular interest to me is that the writer, Becks, blogs gluten-free, a lifestyle to which I am trying to adapt. But as an added bonus,…

Faithful reader Chrissy recently sent me a link to an etsy artist with a healthy appreciation for food, including our favorite meat. As you can see here, Nicodemusgreen thinks "bacon is like a little hug from god." For me, it's…

When my husband is out of town (which is often) I get lazy about a lot of things. For instance, all the shoes I wear in about a 2 week period end up in the living room because I can't…

I don't know what the weather's like where you are, but in Santa Barbara we're having an actual winter! Rain! Temperatures in the 50s! I know that sounds mild to lots of people, but I swear I've never been so…
