Well. I thought I had seen most of the Bacon related glory the internet has to offer... and then I found this. Oh. My. God. This is the most brilliant collection and display of Bacon love I have ever seen in one place. I...I feel like I need to call my tattoo guy and FAST. Please, enjoy the piggy goodness below, and let your body be the canvas it was meant to with your own personal B-Art.
Wonderous Gallery of Fantabulous Bacon-toos.
Oh my. In other news, I decided, after being inspired by my good buddy Johnny, to try my hand at making candied Bacon. Let me tell you, I'm now 99.9% sure that THIS is what the bible referred to as "mana". Pretty simple to do-- put some brown sugar on bacon and cook in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 or so minutes. But then... oh then.... it's like a meat Willy Wonka factory. Bacon goes in, but something entirely different comes out. Sweet, salty, crunchy, beautiful alchemy-- I have turned Bacon into GOLD. Although next time I think I'll only sugar coat one side; doing both made it a little too sweet and overwhelmed the piggy yum-yum flavor a tad. OOH! And maybe I'll dust some bittersweet chocolate powder on the top as a finish... to the grocer, Batman!
Welcome to my little rasher of heaven, everyone. Because I clearly don't have enough to juggle in life, I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog devoted to the pursuit of all things Bacon. Yes, with a capital "b". Something so delicious shall never be referred to here without proper respect, and nothing says respect Like Capital Letters. See... you respect me more now, right? Anyway, let's start off our journey over the Bacon-bow with this little dollop of awesomeness:
Is that... could it be... it looks like... YES! A Bacon lollipop! But hold on to your hats, friends, because this isn't ANY old Bacon lollipop.... it's also *gasp* CAFFEINATED. That's right, a caffeinated honey-maple Bacon-pop. Now, I have never had one of these, mainly because I think this may very well be the one food item that could implode my world and cause me to spend all my disposable income just to chase one more lick. But I can imagine... oh, I can imagine... just look at the thing, all shiny and be-speckled with what I can only assume is distilled bits of porcine awesomeness. And the maple... I can almost smell it now, wafting into my nostrils as I get that first nerve-popping hit of caffeine love. Maybe I should get some of these after all....
If you want your own, the fine folks at Think Geek will be happy to sell you one. As soon as they're off backorder, because SOMEONE just purchased an ocean steamer's worth of these beautiful little wired-piggy-love-bombs.Via
