When Bubba gets back home from The Bacon Freak Ranch, he’s often way to tired to spend a lot of time, energy and effort cooking, so he’s come up with a wonderful little creative, culinary concoction that allows him to kick back and relax a bit, winding down and preparing a nice, delicious and hearty meal that will fully satisfy while helping to take the “edge” of the day of just a bit.

Enjoy!

This Saturday, April 24 was Boston’s inaugural celebration of what is planned to become a regular, cherished annual even, the official “2010 Boston Bacon & Beer Festival,” a celebration of bacon, beer, music and art, appropriately held at the historic “Power Station” in the SoWa district of the South End of Boston.

This is one of the coolest, hippest most happening locations for the Boston art, music and event scene as well as where the ever popular “Open Market” and “Antique Market” are regularly held.

The website “This Is Why You’re Fat” should really reconsider naming itself, “This Is Why You’re So Freaking Happy.” Behold… the mug made out of bacon:

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM. If I were getting married, I’d register for 8 of these. Okay, 10. (Of course the joke in there is that I would be getting married. HAHAHHAHAA! But I digress…)

Here are some other items I’d love to fill my bacon mug with:

• Scrambled eggs
• Chocolate fudge
• Ice cream
• Cake
• Who am I kidding, I’ll take this thing empty too…

So the next time you’re serving brunch, why not serve up some Bacon Mugs as well. And let us know what you fill it with! (As long as it’s clean… keep your bacon erotica to yourself, please. Unless you’re an eligible bachelor. Hubba hubba.)

Dear Hormel,

Hello there! I felt the need to write to you after a fellow bacon lover sent me some pictures of one of your bacon products.

Well done! Good job harnessing the power of bacon into a convenient bag for porky-oinky goodness on the go. HOWEVER, I do draw issue with your product with the warning on the back of the bag:

Really? “DO NOT EAT PACKET”? What lawyer made you put that warning on there? Was it the same genius who told you to put in the ingredients that bacon is “gluten free”? (That’s like saying there’s no cholesterol in a tomato. Duh!)
