Bacon Product of the Week: Cinnamon Bacon Rolls!

Friday, October 17th, 2008

As Mr. B of BaconToday points out, strips of bacon are almost identical in size to unrolled cinnamon rolls.

Cinn-o-bacon rolls!

How to:

Step 1: Buy ready-to-bake cinnamon rolls and some bacon.

Step 2: Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees.

Step 3: Unroll cinnamon roll on baking sheet.

Step 4: Roll up each cinnamon roll with one strip of bacon inside

Step 5: Bake cinn-o-bacon rolls for 15 minutes

Step 6: Drizzle icing on rolls as directed; let cool enough so you don’t burn your face off.

Step 7: Eat & Enjoy.

Step 8: Post on Blogadilla to let us know how these worked out for you.

Lords of Bacon

Wednesday, October 1st, 2008

The interweb and its mystical network of tubes brings people together – like people who have a profound love for bacon and who recognize the magic that bacon brings to the world.

I’d like to introduce you to our new comrades in arms:
Lords of Bacon

They dig bacon = they are family.

Minor Travesty of the Week: The Baconator

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

I went to Wendy’s this afternoon, I had to try their “Baconator” – in the name of science, bacon, and all that is awesome.

It was like when I found out that Santa Claus wasn’t real.

All the ingredients were there, but they didn’t look like the advertisement photos and they tasted like greasy sadness.

This type of thing is also why I will never go on dating websites or get a mail-order bride: rarely is anything as awesome as its marketing photo.

BPOW: WowBacon!

I love bacon.
And I love sticking things in the microwave.
My new friend: the WowBacon Microwave Bacon Cooker.

And the instructions are an amazing read on their own.

Proof of Bacon’s Awesomeness: Lettuce Eats Bacon

Friday, September 12th, 2008

Proof that bacon is so awesome that even lettuce will eat it.
This is Wendy’s “Baconator” being attacked by lettuce.
One of many clever corporately-developed-yet-indie-looking web advertisement videos.

How to Make Bacon Soap, from Actual Bacon

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Everybody loves bacon (the meat of the Gods).
And now we can bathe with bacony goodness.

This should be viewed as more of a jackass experiment than a “how to” by a soapmaking expert. I just wanted to see if it was possible to make soap from bacon fat.

The bonus challenge: make the soap look like bacon.

UPDATE:
We made it into vol. 18 of Make: Magazine!! Sweet!!
