SHOUT OUT to Amy (a peep in Peoria) for sending me this recipe last week.

We’ve featured similar recipes before but I’m such a sucker for homemade mac and cheese and this just looks so good.

As it is my duty to inform you (my 10’s of readers) about any and all things bacon, I humbly present the bacon rocket!

Yes, that is right…they made a rocket out of bacon.  Now I applaud them for their ingenuity and creativity but there is a part of me that can’t get over what a waste of tasty, tasty pork this really is.

I mean, you could at least eat the bacon AK-47 after you took the pictures you needed to document such a feat, but this… (tear)

Popped over to see my Lil’ Bro yesterday, grab a few beers, chill a bit…

While I was waiting on my brother I happened to look down at Jack Attack’s (my nephew) play kitchen and what did I see?

That’s my boy!

This new video from OK Go is TEARING up the Googleverse!!  It made the Yahoo homepage today it’s so hot!

In three words…it is awesome!!!  A single tracking shot of a Rube Goldberg inspired masterpiece.  You have to watch it several times to really enjoy both the simplicity and complexity of it…

But what has this to do with bacon?  Well, it reminded me of the opening scene from one of my favorite movies… [Read more →]

Graphically, cool shirt.  But kids, don’t go mixing barium, colbalt and nitrogen together while thinking that you are going to get tasty, tasty bacon…cause you won’t.  Trust your Uncle Mike.

Want one?  Get one over at ThinkGeek!

It’s a late post today and for that I apologize…

Found this in my Google Alerts today.  Someone created a Squidoo Len’s surrounding Crochet Bacon Patterns.  There’s a bunch of other stuff posted there, some of it interesting, but I personally dig the yarn work…it’s just fun!

Here’s a little something to wet your appetite…click on over to see the rest.

If you are french, a french chef or fan of “Top Chef“ this may rub you the wrong way.

And as for bacon recipes this one may be a stretch…but the recipe does include bacon and crock pot cooking is supposed to be easy…

Better Half, Lil’ Baird and I headed on out for a family breakfast and trip to IKEA this morning. 

There is this little family restaurant a few blocks down from Swedish Eden that we had visited before and quite liked, so we figured we’d grab breakfast there.

Well when my breakfast came, which was to include 2 strips of crispy sliced pork belly goodness, this is what I got…

THAT qualifies as TWO STRIPS?  Look at the fleck of bacon! 

ABSOLUTE BACON FAIL!

I am now debating whether we ever go there again.  Sure I like their pancakes and they make a mean cup of joe, but short me on my bacon and I will unleash Hell!
