Squeez Bacon

When I saw the google link to this site I was expecting a plush bacon toy (which would be really cool) that might smell of bacon (which would be extremely cool!). But instead I found this. I was so excited, I thought now there is one more reason to love Sweden, they have the Swedish Chef, iKia, and now Squeezable bacon. I clicked on buy this to see if they ship down under and I got this. It appears to be one of Think Geeks April fools day products (which shows you how long I've been offline sorry about that, but hey, the only thing keeping me from my PhD is a year or two of research and another bunch of writing). I think some one needs to pulverize a bunch of bacon bits, turn them into a squeezeable goo and truelly sell this thing. I want credit if anyone does what I mention above, and some royalties too. I'm on a grad students salery and it's in Aussie Dollars too. I need the dough to get back to the states for my bros wedding where I've even agreed to wear a dress and silver shoes. And no bacon in sight either. I'll have to make my own. Okay enough with the pitty party, I hope that you had a good laugh with this April fools joke.

Enjoy,

Bacon Floss

Ever wish you could floss with bacon? Who wants a minty fresh mouth when your moth can taste of bacon... Well here you go, it's not bacon mouth wash or bacon toothpaste (I'm copy righting those Ideas if they haven't been done yet, I'll sell it to you for cheep) but bacon floss. Get the bacon out of your teeth with bacon. Now you can have bacon all over your bathroom with bacon floss and bacon soap (past blog). 

Enjoy

Get Bacon Clean

I do not suggest this if you would like to stay on the good side of your friends and loved ones, but I found a recipe to make soap out of bacon fat. Now they say that it doesn't smell like bacon, but I've never tried to make it, so use at your own risk. Also this website uses some strong language, so be warned, the link is From Bacon to Soap: The impossible journey by Daulerio and Gillin. Have fun with your new soap.

Bacon... What can be called bacon?

One way to get the bacon boys riled up is to tell them you're bringing bacon and come with Canadian bacon... something they classify as a wonderful pork product, but not bacon. So what makes bacon bacon? Is it the curing process, is it where it comes from on the pig, is it the smoking or is it all of these, or is it something else? I never really thought about what made bacon bacon, it was always there for me in the store or on my plate at breakfast, I guess I've always just taken bacon for granted. Here is a site though that defines the different types of bacon which I promise to learn. Let me pose the question to all you out there: "What makes bacon bacon"?

Welcome to International Bacon Day

Bacon Day is open to every one. Vegetarians can have facon and religious objectors non-pork bacon, I suggest turkey or soy bacon.

Bacon Day is a day of Bacon... think Iron Chef but all day and the secret ingredient is Bacon. Breakfast traditionally consists of bacon waffles, with a side of bacon, and any other concoctions thought up. Throughout the day there are showings of Kevin Bacon movies and any other movies with leading roles given to pigs, e.g. Babe, Piglet's Big Adventure. Lunch must have BLTs and there are snacks around and slices of bacon everywhere. Dinner is a fight for your food quite literally. It is more a tasting of all things bacon and everyone wants a taste. Due to the vast quantities of bacon cooked, the grill outside is the best bet. If you are invited to a Bacon Day celebration, it is traditional to bring something to eat (of course containing bacon) which can be made there if the host allows, and drink (which may or may not include bacon).

The creator of Bacon Day is Seth. His friends helped put together the logistics and as we are starting to all move on from our grad student days, we plan to bring bacon day with us. This blog is to help spread, coordinate future bacon days, and share.

This blog is just getting started, so please be patient.
