So some inspiring young lads across the pond had an idea…

How can we get an entire English breakfast into a martini glass made of bacon?

The answer…behold the MEATINI

See how they came up with this mad creation at http://www.rathergood.com/meatini, if you DARE!!!  Bwahahahahahahahahahaha!

Thanks to Rebecca F., TDB’s Bacon and Cultural Studies Correspondent for the heads up (SHOUT OUT).

That is all.  Happy Monday everyone.

Dad Samuel L. Cole Jr. passed away on August 25th, 2009 at the age of 83.

May he rest in peace.

When I was in my teens, I was introduced to a fraternity called DeMolay.  This organization came to mean a great deal to me, mostly in part to those advisors who helped guide me through my youth.  Dad Cole was probably the single biggest influence in my life during my DeMolay career. 

I was asked this last Friday to deliver the eulogy prior to the DeMolay memorial service.  I would like to share some of what I wrote with you now as I believe by doing so, in some small measure, his spirit lives forever.

He was a good man and I will miss him. [Read more →]

LOL…this was from an episode of “Wife Swap“. Enjoy!

Hello all…

Between traveling this week for work and now preparing for the funeral of a friend and mentor this evening, I have not been able to post.

I hope to catch up this weekend.  I have received some great articles from friends, would like to show you a few scenes from the SWAT Challenge I attended, share thoughts about this week’s “Top Chef” and will have to catch up on “Fast Food Friday” next week (which I need to skip cause I didn’t get to Burger King).

Oh, I’m also finally buying some pork belly this weekend for the BLTfSC and have a few recipes I hope I can share as “Test Kitchen” posts…

My best!  Have a great weekend!

Oh good lord…

First watch this commercial:

and now, the photo:

Yes, you viewed / heard right…two breaded chicken breasts covering cheese, bacon and the Colonel’s “special sauce”.  It’s called the Double Down Sandwich…a name that closely mirrors the type of ailment (double coronary) and medical procedure (double bypass) you might need should you eat these.

This is wrong on so many levels..seriously…my stomach is turning just writing this post.

Yes, but Michael…will you try it??????????
