Bacon is good for me!

What happens when a health-conscious mom suddenly finds herself in charge of a junk food-loving family? Hilarity ensues, of course. Thanks, Bruce, for the biggest laugh I've had all week.

This one made me gag a little

Wow. I don't know what to say about KFC this morning. I once got really sick after eating KFC wings, so am perhaps over-cautious about their products. And I do admit their snackers look good to me, but they have…

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…

Bourdain Goes Bacon

On Monday night my husband and I were feeling a bit lazy and uninspired, so much so that we ended up watching a veritable marathon of Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations. Which is not to say we don't enjoy the show;…

Sometimes I'm sitting in my office, window open to allow in a cool breeze, and what wafts in instead? The smell of cooking bacon. I work downtown, and fairly close to several restaurants. This sensory distraction drives me insane and…

Genetically Engineered Bacon

This is perfect for a Friday. So this hilarious site, Color Wars 2008, held a contest for the best nerd rap. The only stipulation was that the rapper use the word "bacon" and their team name in the rhyme. And…

Bacon Shot

I don't speak German, but I'm an instant fan of this very simple website with a singular purpose: to teach you how to make a bacon vodka shot. It's baconshot.net, and it's beautiful. Considering that bacon vodka (and Bakon Vodka)…

Bacon World

DUDES! Have you seen this?! I am often overwhelmed by what people are able to capture with a good camera and lenses, but this absolutely takes the cake. London photographer Carl Warner captured these amazing landscapes, made entirely of cold…

Viva los Tacos!

Well, it's Fiesta time in Santa Barbara. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this annual festival, it's also called Old Spanish Days and it started in 1924 as a celebration of the Spanish way of life that the…

Just Plain Bacon

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…

The Bacon Belt

One of my least favorite fashion trends in the U.S. is the muffin top. You know, when your jeans get a little too tight, but instead of giving them to Goodwill you just keep rocking them and add a slightly-too-short…

Bacon Soap

You know how when one vampire movie (or zombie movie, or movie about Truman Capote) comes out, suddenly there are one or two others within the next 12 months? Like, everyone had this great idea right around the same time for some…
