As a connoisseur of bacon, my friends often stop by my various social network pages and let me know about their “bacon finds.” This video is the latest to pop up in front of me. Enjoy this diddy (no relation to Puffy, P-Diddy, or whatever the hell is happening there), “Bacon Care of Bizniz:”

The Cocktail Goes Carnivorous.
Hey there my fellow Bacon Freaks.
As you know, we’ve been discussing the various versions and competing recipes for the “Bacontini,” otherwise known as the Bacon Martini for quite some time now.
However, I recently came across Brian Abrams’ article over at Chow Magazine and my interest was re-ignited once again as I suddenly felt the need to “wet my whistle” with wondrous wit and whimsy. No kidding, make this right and it truly does taste delicious. You’ve got to try it for yourself!
I hope it has the same effect on you as well!
Cheers!
Behind the bar, where the typical bartender macerates pineapple slices in vodka or maraschino cherries in bourbon, the mixologists at the Double Down Saloon in Las Vegas keep an unmarked bottle of vodka in which float several slices of bacon. The off-the-strip dive bar serves its signature Bacon Martini ‘round the clock, and quite a few early-morning lushes inhale the pork-belly libation as if it were a Grand Slam from Denny’s.
Hey there fellow Bacon Freaks, this outrageous story was released today by “Reuters” just in time for the Holi-Daze! I know what I’m asking Santa For this year, well, a least one thing I’m asking for!

Wrap Your Phone In Bacon!
December 10, 2008
Looking for a holder for your mobile phone, or MP3 player?
How about a case that resembles streaky bacon.
But this “bacon case” is also vegetarian-friendly as it’s made out of boiled wool.
The case’s maker Antje Schmitt from southern Germany has been surprised by how many orders she’s received from people who want to wrap their phones in bacon.
Check out the informative video at following link:
The “Times Leader” today released a story that combined a tri-fecta of the following elements: Boxing, Bacon & Beer! Does this story actually need any more elaborate explanation than that? I didn’t think so!
Enjoy!

Bringing Home The Bacon: Boxing, Bacon & Beer Unite Friends!

OK. Brace yourself. There was bacon in the ice cream. • Then again, if you peeked into the kitchen at John Alapick’s house in Beaumont on Saturday, you would have found bacon just about everywhere. • There was bacon in the chili Walley Fish of Forty Fort was stirring on the stovetop and bacon wrapped around the water-chestnut-and-date hors d’oeuvres he had in the oven.
O.k. earlier this week I published a story on Bacon Vodka drink, this has cause a little bit of a controversy as fans of the Bacon Martini say it is a far better drink. So I have done some research on this beverage and found that there is an entire site dedicated to it at www.baconmartini.com.
If you’ve ever had a vodka martini, shaken not stirred, then imagine that flavor but now add a slightly spicy and salty bacon essence, and you are pretty much on your way to getting a feel of what to expect. It’s obviously saltier than a normal martini and it has a bit of tangy “heat” in both the original flavor and lingering aftertaste.
So what exactly is in it you ask? Great question and one that has been just a little bit tricky getting bartenders to fully open up and reveal the mystical magic of their mysterious mixology. It seems each bartender and establishment has their own special, unique twist on their preparation of the drink, but here’s what most of the master mixologists seem to agree on.
