Effervescent Bacon Drink Tablets

Effervescent Bacon Drink Tablets -$3.50

Even I think that the bacon madness may have gone a little too far with this but...it is kinda cool in a weird novelty way. I'm pretty sure the people at Archie McPhee are high all the time, you need to be to think up things like this. If you drop one of these magic tablets into a glass of water it will instantly begin to dissolve, creating a cascade of bubbles that will infuse the water with a delicious bacon flavor. They say they work just as well in milk or juice but that's kinda gross. Each tin contains about fifteen tablets.

Thanksgiving Gumballs - $3.50

There's no bacon in these Thanksgiving gumballs but I think they're neat although I don't expect them to be that tasty. They remind me of the three-course dinner gum from Willy Wonka although I hope these don't require a trip to the Juicing Room. Each tin contains about twenty-two gumballs in the classic flavors of Thanksgiving - turkey, cranberry and pumpkin pie. While we're on the subject, scientists are working on gum that would taste like a three-course mean. For realz.

In other exciting bacon news, a few weeks ago, I was checking out an amazing looking recipe for Praline Bacon Ice Cream on the excellent ice cream blog, Scoop Adventures. Ice cream maker extraordinaire, Lindsay, made some for the Bacon Takedown in New Orleans.


She was also giving away 10 pounds of bacon from Hormel and an awesome Bacon Takedown apron. I entered and actually WON! I've been handing out free bacon to friends and family and the Bacon Takedown apron looks great hanging in my kitchen. Thanks so much to Lindsay and please check out her blog, it's got some really interesting ice cream concoctions!

I'll be on vacation in L.A. starting later this week and my goal is to find the Lardon Bacon Truck. Wish me luck!

The BA-K-47

This Is Freaking Ridiculous has turned up the heat in the all out "how ridiculous can you get" bacon war with the BA-K-47, a 1:1 scale AK-47 made out of bacon.





I gotta hand it to them, this is one of the most ingenious and creative bacon creations I've seen in a long time. Now the big question is, is this edible? If so, I stand 100% behind our constitutional Right to Bear (Bacon) Arms. If not, I'm kind of sad about all of the wasted bacon. Either way it's still cool as hell.

The BA-K-47 T-Shirt Contest

So the guys over at This Is Freaking Ridiculous are making a BA-K-47 t-shirt and holding a contest for the picture caption. The person who submits the winning caption will receive a free BA-K-47 t-shirt. Go leave a comment on their blog with your wittiest caption. Mine is already in and I've got my fingers crossed.

A Bacon Meatloaf Cross - Happy Easter!

Forgive me if what I know about the Easter holiday can fit into a delicious Cadbury Cream Egg, but I thought that this Bacon Meatloaf Cross from Joolie and Eric at oh my stars and garters would be a perfect fit for today. Sacriligeous? Perhaps, but if you worship at the Church of Bacon you know that bacon rules over all.


Pres your meatloaf mixture into a cross pan
Cross shape baking pan available @ Amazon.com

Shroud in BACON

Bake and devour the tasty cross!
