Another bacon product for the swine-obsessed

"BACON BRIGHT" Custom painted bacon floor lamp has the beautiful glow of the beauty of everyone's favorite meat!
As the weather gets chilly, turn down the lights, turn on the bacon. This lamp has 4 large luminescent strips of bacon, one per side of this hand made paper lamp shade.
It all ships easily in a sturdy cardboard box ready to be gift wrapped. Order now and I'll include a pack of 5 bacon xmas tree cards!

Shake Shack Custard Calendar - Pancakes and Bacon!

Today, a fellow BBC (Brooklyn Brunch Crew) member alerted me to Shake Shack's Custard Calendar for the month of April.  http://www.shakeshack.com/

And every Saturday, the flavor is Pancakes and Bacon!!  need I type more?

My First Bacon

Today, another awesome coworker drew my attention to another awesomer product on Thinkgeek:

"You've got a friend in meat


(and he talks and says "I'm Bacon!")

We're always thinking and dreaming here at ThinkGeek World Domination HQ. In fact, we have meetings to do just that (and eat, not that we need an excuse to eat). While nomming on some delicious BLTs slathered in Baconnaise, designerd Christian thought a terrifying thought. "With all this vegetarian buzz going around," he mused, "What will happen to bacon in the future? What if everyone goes... vegan?" (Insert the sound of three dozen monkeys simultaneously gasping... except for the vegetarian employees who were silently thoughtful.) This is our plan." http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/my-first-bacon.shtml

Only thinkgeek would create a plushy bacon toy. 

and although this next product is not bacon related, i have to share it because i'm buying it for all of my parental friends:

Tell Me Your Secrets Bear!!

The bear says, "Tell me your secrets, best friend" and then sends the recording to your blackberry!! haha!

Bacon Bandaids

If my coworkers were to duel your coworkers in a battle to decide who has the best coworkers, then my coworkers would win!! hands down!

One day last week, a coworker tells me that she is going to bring me bacon bandaids because, well, its no secret that i'm nutty about bacon.

Then, the very next day another coworker says she has a surprise for me and busts this out:

The toy inside

I wore this for the rest of the day

Then the first coworker, sad that she didn't get to give me the bacon gift, said she has another surprise for me and I will just have to wait to see what it is.  I can't wait!

Everything should taste like Bacon, and I mean everything

Pour some bacon salt on whatever doesn’t already taste like bacon:

Don’t you hate going through your day eating boring food that doesn’t taste like bacon? Cereal – doesn’t taste like bacon, sandwiches – Don’t Taste Like Bacon, salad – DOESN’T TASTE LIKE BACON. Now using a combination of magic and science, the world’s greatest minds bring you BACON SALT!!!! Bacon salt is a wonderful seasoning that can be sprinkled on any ho hum food to make it taste like awesomely delicious bacon. Stupid diet got ya down? Well put some bacon salt on those vegetables and keep losing weight.

Bacon Salt can also be used to make good food better. Just think of the possibilities. Sure strawberry ice cream tastes good. Strawberry ice cream with Bacon Salt TASTES GREAT! Enjoying some chocolate chip cookies with the family? Think about the smiles on the kids faces when they discover the extra secret ingredient of bacon salt!

Best of all Bacon Salt is vegetarian and kosher friendly. You heard that right. There is no actual pork in Bacon Salt so everyone can enjoy that sweet sweet bacon flavor. Instead of tofu for dinner vegetarians can now have BACON flavored tofu for dinner!

Recipe: The Elvis?

Upon perusing facebook news feed, i came across the following status update: "okay this might sound weird.... but Im trying my 1st ever peanut butter & bacon sandwhich (on toasted whole wheat)...and as weird as it sounds... THIS SHIT IS SOOO FUCKIN GOOODD!!!!"

then someone commented: "put some bananas on that bad boy with the bacon and grill it like grilled cheese. That's called an 'Elvis.'"

I will be making my own Elvis very very soon.
