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 →]

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!

So when you spend a bunch of days keepin’ a 17 mo. old busy while she is home sick, you watch A LOT of Nick Jr. 

She doesn’t really…she’s bouncing around from toy to toy to snack to beatin’ up on her daddy.  However, I just sort of find myself in a hypnotic trance.

Leave it to “Yo Gabba Gabba!” to find a way to engage me.  Just add BACON!

Yes with bacon, there is always a party in my tummy!  So yummy, so yummy.

This photo comes from Laurie, an actual photographer AND friend of TDB (yes, we actually have friends )

In her words…

I used the black and white setting on my camera and zero-d in on the bacon/tomato colors

is why the green sprouts turned out the color they did.

Just thought it was a cool shot to share…

Breakfast…sometimes your ONLY meal for the day!

Not to mention the side of pancakes and toast I had with this pork-a-licious scramble…this is one full and sleepy boy!

Hope you are having a great weekend!

Oh to wake up to the sweet aroma of a maple and bacon baked good…

Get on that Better Half (hint, hint)

I’m even providing the recipe (after the jump) [Read more →]

and is customary I was out doing all my shopping.  Yes, ALL my shopping!  It’s been a crazy two months and this was the only day that I have had off since Thanksgiving.  So alone I went, mall to mall, doing the daddy Santa thing.

I honestly have to tell you…I like shopping late.  Yes you may miss a thing or two but there is a weird sense of zen-like calm that takes over me in the midst of all the crazies out there today.

The rest of the night will be filled with wrapping presents, making cookies for Santa and putting together Lil’ Baird’s first kitchen set.

A reminder to my 10’s of readers…this Sunday is BACON SUNDAY VI.  Let’s end 2009 on the right note by heading out with friends and family to enjoy a huge breakfast (with bacon of course).

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

It’s been awhile, I know.  We’ve all been a little busy and the holidays are only going to add to all the craziness.  So with that in mind I propose we all take a little time and have a relaxing and filling breakfast with friends/family, etc.

That is right, it’s our sixth BACON SUNDAY!

We’ve had a lot of new folks stopping by since our last “event”, so please allow me a minute to explain just what BACON SUNDAY is…

BACON SUNDAY is a day where we here at ”The Daily Bacon“ encourage you to go enjoy a good old breakfast! It could be a get together with friends, family or even just a quiet morning at a greasy spoon with your newspaper.  I am a HUGE proponent of a great breakfast.  Some of my favorite memories are around big ole breakfasts.

So, as the name suggests, we select a Sunday and of course encourage you to have bacon with that meal.

We have people who have wanted to “attend” BACON SUNDAY, but don’t dig on pork for various reasons. I have heard their cries and now proclaim that BACON SUNDAY doesn’t even have to include pig…just knowing that you are willing to join in the spirit of the “event” is plenty cool with me!

MARK THOSE CALENDARS!

• When: Sunday, December 27th
• From: Whenever you wake up til 2 pm
• Where: Your pick
• With Who: Anyone you’d like to get together with.

Why the 27th? Well the big holiday celebrations are behind us and it feels like a good day to decompress and take it slow.

Facebook friends: Look for the event invitation over the next day or two.

So “join” us won’t you?  May this movement continue to grow!

If you are ever confused again about where you should eat, go and visit my soon to be new friends over at Eating The Road.

They are the creators of some terrific flowcharts – all helping to make one’s life choices that much easier.  Behold…

Now wasn’t that easy?!?  No more need to make that pesky decision when you can just rely on the chart!

Now if I could only convince them to do a bacon cheeseburger chart.  That would make my “Fast Food Friday” decisions so much simpler.

Check out the Breakfast Cereal and Chain Restaurant charts too…

Oh, by the way, the rest of the blog is pure awesomeness!!  When my blog grows up I can only hope to be so cool.  They are now on my “check every day” list.  Try ‘em, you might like ‘em.

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.
