I love when one idea snowballs into several others, and the bacon mat has been a major springboard for lots of bacon creations over the past few months. Of course there was the bacon cheese roll, followed by the bacon,…

I'm loving bloggers this week. Yesterday, of course, was a heart-attack recipe from SOT, and today I have to draw your attention once again to the Ridiculous Food Society of Upstate New York. Mr. Dave constantly cracks me up, and…

By now you've all seen Foodproof's Bacon and Cheese Roll. This thing is a modern marvel and fully deserves the wild acclaim it has received. I mean, seriously, that was brilliant. But, as with all great ideas, this one has…

I thought that headline sounded more dramatic and exciting with the year thrown on the end, like a breaking news story. Which I suppose this is, because hey! It's an actual bacon watch! As in, a watch made of bacon!…

Hey everyone! Hope you had a great Martin Luther King Day, and that you're having an even better Inauguration Day! I'm starting the day off with a sad confession: I've been really bad about trying the hippest new bacon creations…

I don't often write about Kevin Bacon on this blog, due in part to the La Coronilla Treaty of 2008 (see the comments section.) And so I'm not going to say much about this clip from funnyordie.com, except that it…

Here in the West, I think Sprinkles has become the cupcake standard. They make huge, beautiful cupcakes in lots of amazing flavors with every kind of colorful confetti topping you can imagine. Soon they'll be expanding across the country and…

Once again I'm blown away by a simple yet profound use for bacon. Why did I never think of this before? Because I tend to get too complicated. I need to remember that the simplest food ideas are the best.…

How well do you know bacon? Do you know something about it's history? Do you have a favorite brand? Do you know about it's omega-3 fatty acid content, or lack thereof? I'm a sucker for quizzes and surveys, so when…

I've mentioned before how much I enjoy Dave's Cupboard. This New Englander is a truly gifted cook who seems to give instructions on everything I've ever wanted to know, like how to make your own bacon. He's also a food…

By now you've no doubt heard: Taco Bell has taken the bacon world by storm! It's all everyone is talking about. Its face seems to be painted across every surface I encounter. It's the bacon-cheddar-gordita-crunch, and it has come to…

If you're reading this blog, there's a chance you like bacon. If you follow more than one blog, there's a chance you also like other time-wasting, Internet-based nonsense, like Facebook and Twitter. If any or all of those things are…

I love haiku. It's a poetry form that requires discipline, but only briefly. Like a tiny sudoku or a 24-tile Rubik's cube. Once, during a particularly stressful time at work, my bo ss and I relieved our stress by exchanging…

It was way back in November when we featured Boca Java's Maple Bacon Morning coffee. I think I ordered it that very day, it just sounded too irresistible. When it arrived, I was thrilled to find it had a one-way air…

By far the most popular post we've ever done was Bacon Wrapped Eggs. I don't know what it was about that recipe that made everyone's mouth water so, but we got lots of great feedback and alternative recipe suggestions. Since…

Aaaah, the holidays. I just finished a nine-day weekend, and will be back at work for just two days before another five-day weekend. And amazingly, I still feel like I could use more time. I'm pretty confident that I could…
