My daughter returned home from an outing in Hampden and had a Bacon-Chocolate
candy bar. I tried it but never again!!!

OK, I know when you've used Google, you've "googled." But when you've used Bing, have you "binged?"

My first impression of #10 was that you had binged on bacon ice cream...yes, you capitalized it, but my first read didn't catch that...

Quick! Someone put out the bat signal for Prof McIntyre!

I always say Googled when I Google something, so I thought I should be consistent. EL

Purchased a Bacon Air Freshener and Bacon Band-Aids at Red Tree a few months ago. Gave them to a friend who works in a breakfast restaurant and she loved them!

GACK!!!!!

I saw "Bacon Salt" at my local Weis marked down from $3.99 to $0.99 cents. Had to buy it. the motto on the bottle is "Because everything should taste like bacon". Final Review: It tastes like bacon!!!

My wife an I were given a 6 month membership to the Bacon of the Month Club for Christmas last year. Each month we received about a pound of the best bacon we've ever tasted, each month coming from a different farm. Totally worth it... we're considering renewing our membership this year.

My girlfriend got me a 6-month subscription to the Bacon of the Month club for my birthday. She's a keeper!

So who makes the best bacon in Maryland? And where is it available to purchase?

I really like Binkert's bacon. You have to go out to Rosedale to get it (and it isn't particularly near a bus route), although they'll probably have it at the Christkindlemarkt at Zion Lutheran.

They slice it to order, and it is just very solid, tasty bacon. Barely any shrinkage. Lovely, cuddly stuff. I have no idea what the price is. I don't care.

I like bacon but I don't want to ingest or apply anything bacon-flavored or bacon-fragranced.

There is a bacon product that isn't available in Maryland yet but soon be.........bacon vodka, it's called Bakon vodka. I should be great for bloody Mary's, stick a lettuce leaf or 2 in it and it's a liquid BLT.

I know better than to mess with this stuff. Now if it were bourbon lip balm ...

I love bacon. I love that we are talking about bacon. I'm going to get some bacon now...

On a similar tragically related note. Anyone see the video of Paula Deen and the ham? I love Paula Deen since she also loves bacon and real butter. So it was awful to see, but I will admit to the group...it gave me the church giggles.

Uh-uh, I know better than to have anything to do with Googlery, Bingery, or baconry.

Now if bourbon lip balm were on offer ...

DAMN reCaptcha anyhow. It told me that my first comment didn't go through, and it lies in its teeth.

Tonight is our Gourmet Bacon dinner at Bad Decisions if anyone is in need of a bacon fix.

Also, in weird bacon products, I have a Bacon Cheeseburger Bloody Mary Mix. It's pretty fantastic stuff.

I have bacon flavored mints at home. They are singly the most disgusting thing I have tasted. I also have gummy bacon, which tastes like strawberry.

A friend of mine once gave me a bacon-of-the-month gift for a year. Only he didn't order it, he actually went and picked out or ordered specialty bacons online for me. Each month he delivered the chosen bacon product to my home. It was possibly one of the best gifts I have ever received in my life.

mmmm...bacon...

I saw that video of Paula Deen getting hit in the face with a frozen ham. It was by accident. And yes, I'm chuckling as I type this.

As for bourbon lip balm, where can I get some?

are campus

Fl Rob, are you irked as I am that the press keeps referring to Paula as "celebrity chef"?
I mean, maybe the woman can cook her butt off but she is so NOT a chef!

I want bourbon lip balm too!

When I was in OC in October, we took a ride down to Rehoboth one afternoon. There is an ice cream shop on the main drag right up by the boardwalk and they had bacon ice cream. They also had beer ice cream. I am going to have to stop there and try them one day, I can't pass up something like that.

The petsmart in Reno has been selling bacon flavored popcorn for dogs for years. Every time we go my 14 year old son makes me buy it for him. He loves it.

Robert, is your son of the 4 or 2 legged type?

And to make your own specialty, a recipe from a source I can't remember.

Candied Bacon

So, you may be wondering, how do you make candied bacon? Cook bacon strips in a skillet, drain them on paper towels, pour the fat out of the pan, put the cooked bacon strips back in the pan, sprinkle them with white sugar mixed with a dash of cinnamon, and cook over low heat until the sugar has dissolved and caramelized, about eight minutes.

As Julia and Elvis would say, bon appétit.

I just watched the Paula Dean video. Did you notice when the camera was following her out, her husband did'nt even flinch. He kept right on handing the hams down the line.

Ohh, captcha shout out to all you New Yorkers out there, "Bronxville splendid"

Yummmmmmm... Bacon

I bought bacon at the Dutch market in Laurel today. I also just had popcorn with J&D's Peppered Bacon Salt. I think I might try this on a steak. I love bacon.

bacon burger at jack's bistro!!

i love bacon in many applications, but the stuff in this post just makes me shudder. Yick!

griped Zoe Wonder what about?

Been a long time since we had a Jack's Bistro shill. It was such a good sreak, too.

Joyce,
yes, it does grate a little that she is referred to as a celebrity chef. Guess that is because she's on the Food Network.

You raise a good questions, what is the difference between a chef and a cook?

captcha has some foreign stuff too:
Baikonur retiree

Isn't that just an alternate spelling for someone who likes bacon? EL

I thought Baikonur was the city in Kazakhstan where the old Soviet Cosmodome was? You know, Star City?

You're right, Rob. I'm really not sure. Part of it is certainly background, but some people who are referred to as "Chef" really don't have any culinary school background at all. It is indeed something to puzzle over.

Mmm. . . Baconnaise!

(I am in no way affiliated with this product or the company which makes it and have never tried it. But I will try it if I see it!)

Cook versus chef, I was once told that a chef can create whereas a cook can only
re-create. It was and always has been the deciding difference for me

MDtopdad, I guess that by your definition, Paula Deen must be a chef, since no self-respecting chef would ever own up to creating some of the dishes she peddles, like fried butter or the Krispy Kreme bacon-egg-cheese burger.

Captcha: Carnaval dampened

Whether Paula Deen is a chef or a cook is immaterial. The important question is whether she should be tried for crimes against humanity.

I'm laughing out loud here. EL

Pork already got its revenge on Ms Deen.
