You heard me…bacon vodka!  Only they spell it Bakon…and they don’t make it is Russia, but right here in the good old U.S. of A.

It’s only available in the northwest right now, but you can sign up to be notified when it will be distributed in your area.

They also feature some recipes and I got to tell you, a bacon vodka bloody mary sound pretty darn tasty!

So drink your Bakon Vodka and then the next morning have a BLT to get rid of your hangover!  That’s how I’d roll…

This is my first and only post and/or reference to Swine Flu.

I was looking all over the interwebs for something, anything that just rationally spelled things out in regards to this virus.  The best I found was an interview yesterday that I heard on “The Takeaway” on NPR and this article by Cindy Perman from CNBC.

From the article:

You can get swine flu from eating pork, bacon or other pig products.
FALSE, FALSE and FALSE! Memories of sick Thai picnickers are still fresh in many people’s minds from the bird-flu outbreak, so many people assume that with swine flu, you can catch it from eating pig products. Not true, say both the WHO and CDC:

“Swine influenza has not been shown to be transmissible to people through eating properly handled and prepared pork (pig meat) or other products derived from pigs. The swine influenza virus is killed by cooking temperatures of 160°F/70°C corresponding to the general guidance for the preparation of pork and other meat,” the WHO reports on its Web site.

I’d encourage you to read the whole article and listen to the interview. 

That is all!
