This month, The Archives of Internal Medicine just released the results of a thirteen year study that reported the fact that science has now medically proven the long time hypothesis that women who drink alcohol in moderation, particularly those who drink “red wine,” are far less likely to gain weight and will loose weight much quicker and easier, in comparison to those women who do not drink “any” alcohol at all!

According to Dr. Lu Wang; of the “Preventive Medicine and Aging” division of the Department of Medicine, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a 13 year study was conducted of 19,220 healthy, non-obese women from the United States, who were at least 39 years of old, carefully tracking these women’s health statistics to discover what they could determine about the role alcohol played in their life style and health.

OMG … it looks like Carl’s Jr. (http://www.carlsjr.com) has done it again my fellow “Baconistas!”

While all of the “fast food” giants are desperately trying to impress a world gone crazy with “Baco-Mania” by coming up with more and more complex and clever creations based on the average “Bacon Freak’s” (http://www.baconfreak.com) obsession with bacon, Carl’s Jr. has quite wisely chosen to take that path less traveled and move further and further toward absolute simplicity.

So while many of its competitors continue on the path of constantly tossing more and more elaborate ingredients onto their burgers, Carl’ has effectively broken the magic formula down to it’s essential basic, fundamental, foundational “bacon blueprint” of consummate, consumable simplicity.

Swine and Wine Club

With the ever-growing popularity of baconfreak.com’s Swine and Wine Club, I was thinking, how could we get as many people together to enjoy two of the finest things in life; bacon and wine. Why not try a Swine and Wine Party.

First, set the date, time and location. I was thinking a Sunday afternoon, not so late that you and your guests are feeling the effect the following morning.

Second, you need lots and lots of bacon.
Baconfreak.com has a wide variety of different bacon products. One specific kind of bacon that caught my eye was sun-dried tomato bacon. Why not pair the bacon with fresh mozzarella, on a toasted baguette for an easy light snack. Another easy and tasty bacon appetizer was something I found on Cooks.com. This recipe combines scallops, bacon and a sweet and sour sauce. Also, choose a few types of bacon to cook up and serve by themselves for your guest to enjoy, because what party isn’t complete without a few sweets to go along with the other food. Keeping with the theme of bacon, how about trying Bacon Chocolte Sueyts. These delectable delights pair the salty, savory flavors of bacon with the sweetness of dark chocolate for an unmistakable taste.

The fine folks over at Bacon Today just released what could only be classified as an “A+” rave review regarding the new gourmet Bacon Cookbook that it’s competitors, Bacon Freak,  just put out this week.

In the usual “cut throat” and “back-stabbing” world of business, even in the much more tastefully refined world of fine dining and gourmet food, it’s so very rare to see such a glowingly positive review of someone else’s work, particularly a direct competitor, that we thought the world would get some enjoyment from the taste of pure kindness and graciousness exhibited between these two popular and powerful industry leaders.

Here’s the whole story, presented “straight from the pigs mouth”, just as they posted it on their blog.
