It’s no secret, I love food! Who doesn’t love food though? It sustains us, makes us happy, comforts us, but it can also be a hindrance if not taken in moderation (like with everything else, except maybe reading this blog, you can OD on this blog and it can, perhaps, make you a better person – maybe?) (more…)

Snappy Friday’s – Breakfast!

Happy Friday to all!!  I have to say it’s been a tough week as you may have noticed.  Myself and Alvin has been absent from our regularly scheduled posts.  We will resume usual non-sense next week.  For now enjoy this picture of a bacon and egg on a roll with hot sauce, my usual Friday breakfast.

You know you want one too!

Bacon Flavoured Seaweed?

It’s been a while since we posted anything about bacon, and I think this is a good time to post something about bacon, sort of.

A bunch of men in white lab coats discovered that this one particular seaweed tastes like bacon when you fry it.

What?! Healthy (almost) bacon!?  Oh look a pig flying.

Seriously, this should be out in the market since yesterday, and I want 10 stat!

Scope is playing with my emotions

As today being April 1st, it’s the tradition to play some practical pranks, and the mouthwash company played a pretty good one.  I love bacon, If I could marry bacon, I would.  Bacon is good with everything, and I do believe it is the secret to achieving world peace.  I haven’t figured it out yet, but I am working on it.  Anyway, I’m sure many of you has seen this, but for your viewing pleasure, here it is.  (This is a very smart faux marketing campaign on Scope’s part)

Wild Ophelia 44% Cacao Beef Jerky Milk Chocolate Bar – Thoughts

I was doing some valentine’s day shopping at my local Wegman’s, and while at the candy aisle to pick up some Goetz Caramel Creme candy for my love, I happen to notice this little odd treat.  Beef Jerky Milk Chocolate Bar, the title states, from Wild Ophelia, and, I just had to have it.  Now, on my way home, I was imagining chunks of beef jerky in the bar itself, and getting that nice mix of sweet and salty, but I was going to be disappointed.  It was free and clear of jerky chunks, and I barely tasted the beef jerky itself.  It only had a hint of it in there, and maybe some bit and pieces of what might have been beef jerky.  It is however a nice piece of chocolate, and it’s made here in the US, using locally sourced products, and it’s organic.

If anything it’s a nice conversation piece when you have friend’s over, and it would sure be the topic of random conversation at random times.  I still much prefer Mo’s Bacon bar, but again, it hardly had chunks of bacon in it.  I think this bar, which cost around $5.xx is worth the shot.  Head on over to your local grocery shop and give it a whirl, and tell us what you think.

Here’s a quick video of me un-boxing it.

Random photo of the day – November 30, 2012

Pork, the other white meat.  It’s has to me at least a very transparent taste, and it absorbs flavour like no other.  This is pretty much über bacon, pork belly, so good, so tasty so deliciously bad for you.

This was one of our entrees this past thanksgiving, and it was oh-so-delicious.  Perfect compliment to the turkey.

Bacon Roses = Genius

Whoever thought of this up is pure genius and should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.  I mean seriously, I think Bacon can solve a lot of the world’s problems, and Bacon Roses?!, hell, if someone that I was pissed off with, gave me bacon roses, then, it’s water under the bridge, as they say.

This is EPIC-ness to the umpteenth degree.
