A couple days ago my favorite blogger, dooce, told an amusing story about how she scientifically and irrefutably proved that microwave-safe plastic bowls cannot withstand the magma-hot intensity of fresh bacon grease. Nice work, Heather. The world owes you big…

A nice guy named Daniel emailed us a couple weeks ago and asked if we'd like to try Carl's Jr's new Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger. Apparently the DVR has left me miles behind on current marketing campaigns, because I'd never…

I've been hearing for months that the west coast is in for an epic El Nino winter, and it looks like maybe it's finally starting. With rain and clouds predicted for this entire week, I think I'll put on something…

I know people keep trying to say the bacon craze is over. I know there are some people out there who don't want to hear, see, or think about bacon anymore. If any of those people are reading this now...well,…

For those of you just tuning in, we here in America just celebrated Thanksgiving; a day of feasting, fun and family where we celebrate how a long time ago, the Native Americans saved our asses. Or something along those lines.…

The day before Bacon Day, Naseem was at my house and asked me what we were going to do with all the bacon grease. We had toyed with the idea of offering it as a beverage option for the…

Wow, it is really taking me forever to finish writing about Bacon Day. It was just SUCH a day! We had a number of very generous donors who helped us make this event a success. First and foremost was Rocco…
