Excellent Timing

Submitted by corwin on Tue, 7 Apr 2009 9:20pm

When I fail to post the latest bacon-related news here or via twitter, I invariably receive links from my friends alerting me to the gaps in my bacon-related knowledge. So it was with the Baconcylopedia, and so it was with a science story in the Telegraph Josh sent me.

According to the scientists, a bacon sandwich really can cure a hangover! Apparently, the amino acids from the proteins in the bacon make you feel good and even give you a clearer head while the food itself speeds up your metabolism, which rids you of the alcohol that much faster. They even look into what makes the smell of cooking bacon so darned irresistible.

With that in mind, I think I found something that has the potential to cure not just the after effects of a hard night out, but should also take care of most genetic disorders: the Ultimate Bacon Sandwich. How can a recipe that starts with twenty-two slices of bacon be wrong?

I think I know what I want for breakfast this Sunday morning.

The Baconcyclopedia

A big thanks to Deryck for this one!

I'm not sure where he came across the link, but he found for me the site for all your bacon needs: The Baconcyclopedia. It's a stunningly complete listing of links to bacon information all over the Internet. Much of it, of course, I've seen in my own wanderings, but there's plenty of stuff there that I haven't. Everything is organized and categorized, and displayed in one enormous page for your browsing convenience.

Be careful when you visit, you'll come away hungry for the Candy of Meats.

Including my own website! A special thanks to Jessika for pointing this one out. And, of course, to Bacolicio.us for making it possible to improve every single website in existence. Even MySpace.

A big thanks to Josh for pointing this out to me! It may surprise some of you that I'm not the biggest fan of BBQ out there. Mostly it's that there are precious few BBQ sauces I like (the one that Jess uses when she cooks ribs being among the best). But I also firmly believe that there is no part of the pig that is not delicious, and that bacon can make anything better. So when I saw this, I immediately began drooling:

The Long-Awaited Final Showdown

Submitted by corwin on Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:43am

Tomorrow is the big day for J&D, as they launch their new Baconnaise sandwich spread. And to mark the occasion, the epic rivalry between Bacon and Mayonnaise will finally be settled:

The Bacopocalypse May Be Averted

Submitted by corwin on Mon, 27 Oct 2008 7:42pm

I truly thought the world was about to end last week when I heard about Baconnaise. Mayonnaise fully embodies everything that is wrong with the world today. Concerned for the well-being of the fabric of reality (as I have no place else, currently, to store my stuff), I wrote an impassioned email to J&D, the creators of Bacon Salt and the forthcoming Baconnaise. It seemed to me they were indulging in research which possibly violated the laws of physics and would certainly create an abomination the likes of which the world has never seen. As it turns out, I may have been wrong....

The End is Nigh

Submitted by corwin on Fri, 24 Oct 2008 3:30pm

There is one substance that, although some otherwise intelligent adults seem to think it's edible, I find to be unspeakably vile. That putrid semi-congealed spread is mayonnaise. It can ruin almost any food merely with its touch. I would, in most cases, throw away a sandwich touched by mayo rather than get it anywhere near my mouth. And this is why I was absolutely astounded when jher showed me this:

A variation of Godwin's Law, Scalzi's Law states:

Any conversation on the internet will eventually include bacon in some way. And then be forwarded immediately to John Scalzi.

Wake n' Bacon

Today's random wanderings through the internet brought be, as the often do, to a place of joy. In this case, the joy was a wonderful idea for an alarm clock: the Wake n' Bacon. The idea is you'd put a frozen piece of bacon inside before going to bed, set the alarm, and wake to the delicious smell of fresh-cooked bacon in the morning. Waking up like that, how could the rest of your day be less than perfect?
