Bacon Makes the World Go ‘Round

For the last couple of days my kids have been sick. I have been doing laundry with no working dryer, and the floors in the kitchen and bathroom are torn up because of a leak under a sink somewhere. My phone doesn’t work (I can dial and answer calls, but no one can hear me). The kids are all better, but now I have the bug, so what am I doing? Blogging about BACON, of course (duh!).

It all started because I have a running joke with my wonderful, funny, beautiful sister-in-law about how much my brother loves bacon. Whenever I see something funny or interesting on the Internet about bacon (and what isn’t interesting about bacon?), I send her a link or a picture.

Now, dinnertime is rolling around. What to serve? Round out your day (and I DO mean ROUND) with the Bacon Explosion (it even has its own fan page on Facebook):

Cardiac arrest, here I come!

Now, you don’t want to eat this masterpiece on just a plain old table with no decoration! What would be more appropriate than:

Dipped in brown sugar, they double as dessert!

Ok, table is set, dinner is cooking. What will you wear for this special occasion? How about WOWing them with this tasteful (hehe) chapeau?

Oolala!

Now I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, “Gee, this is wonderful, but all this bacon will make me die and I won’t be able to enjoy bacon anymore!” Fear not! We’ve got you covered:
