You know, since starting this blog 15 months ago I have run into some pretty interesting “bacony” things but this…this…I really just don’t know what to say about this.

I think it’s how Chuck Norris makes his bacon…with a MACHINE GUN!!

A MACHINE GUN PEOPLE!!!

That is cooked bacon inside there…sizzled to perfection purely by the heat of the barrel after busting out about 250 rounds.

I mean…wow…really…

Thanks to “FoTDB“* Justin we have this lovely little twist on a beloved childhood favorite to start our Tuesday.

Have a great day!

There is absolutely NOTHING healthy or “redeeming” about this particular recipe.  I mean it’s a recipe from Paula Dean…

But damn does it sound yummy!  It also meets my criteria of quick and easy. SHOUT OUT to Amanda for bringing it to my attention.

Enjoy all!  [Read more →]

Wow – what a weekend.

So if you are new to the blog and haven’t caught up on all my previous posts (what are you waiting for – there is some good readin’ in here) I am a proud Michigan State graduate.  I love my school and cheer/suffer along with my sports teams.  Lately, we have had an embarrassment of riches when it comes to basketball and this weekend just added to that “legacy”.

Now I will be the first to admit I didn’t give them much of a chance this post season.  They ended the Big Ten campaign on a huge down note having to settle for a three-way tie for the conference championship (when they were up by THREE games at one point late in the regular season) and then had their typical conference tournament beat down/melt down.  Still, I am biased when it comes to these guys and figured we’d at least make the Sweet 16 (although in my heart I was ready for a loss against Maryland).

So here we are two weeks later and the Spartans, THE SPARTANS, are going back to the Final Four.  They are doing it after losing arguably their best player.  We are watching these kids literally mature in front of us and damn if it is not exciting!  Yes there was a LOT of screaming at the TV during all four games so far…I hate that we are playing so much of a perimeter game right now..we make some great defensive stops only to take quick, sloppy shots on the other end…but yet we somehow find a way to win.

Last night after the game I switch on ESPN News just so at the start of every half hour I could watch the highlights again.  I left the channel on for almost 4 hours.  I was just so happy!!

You got to be in it to win it right?  Well here we are!  Sixth time in 12 years.  Lines makers already have us as an underdog against Butler.  Great!  Keep underestimating us…keeps the pressure off.  I am so proud of my school, my program, my coach, my team!  Today is a good day.

Go Green!  Go White! Victory for MSU!!

Abbey Simmons over at Buddy TV is making her case for why Betty White is the “New” Bacon…and I have to say, I agree with her arguement:

Some things exist not only because they’re delightful in their own right, but because they make everything better with their presence.

Bacon and Betty White are among these things.

You see, from our vantage point, bacon and Betty White make everything better. And a simple timeline confirms this truth.

This just made me smile…and so I share with you.

My new challenge, how to incorporate the phrase “I sizzle!” into standard conversation.  This has to become my new catch phrase (yes I have a current catch phrase…and a theme song…and I think everyone should).

Pick up your shirt at Red Bubble for $23.94.

Do you think I can call up FTD and get one of these things delivered?  ProFlowers?

Nothing says love like a dozen bacon roses! (okay well maybe I can think of one or two different things, but this would be right up there )

I really needed a good laugh today and thanks to one of my favorite geek blogs, Topless Robot, I got one!

No bacon, but some great editing!  If you are a Star Wars nerd like me (Jason/Al I’m looking at you), $20 says this breaks you up.

May the force be with you…

The amazing idea of bacon jam caught my attention last October and I thought the same thing then as I do now…YUM!

Well my “Brother in Bacon” Adam sent me this link last week and want to try this in the worst way! 

The video is of Chef Ross Hutchison out of New York who claims to be the inventor of Bacon Marmalade.  Here he is making up a yummy batch.

If your mouth is watering like mine, you can pick up a 4 oz. bottle for $9.00.  They don’t have an online store, but you can get yours directly from Chef Ross by emailing bacon@baconmarmalade.com.

Happy eating!
