Bacon - A to Z Blog Challenge

At the risk of taking the easy way out for today's post, I thought I'd find something that everyone loves and post a video about how it's made.

  1. Oh, boy, Matt ~ TMI for this woman who won't touch it, cook it, or eat it. I do, however, love to smell it! When someone else orders it, I kind of lean across the booth and inhale deeply.

    Kudos for taking on the April alpha challenge!

    WV = deali. Our same daughters (I'm only guessing about yours, but I know about mine) who correct us with "actually" will ask, "Mom/Dad, where's that deali?"

  2. All I can say is...

    Om Nom Nom Nom Nom!

  3. It's probably mostly the liquid smoke... I bet you could get that for a diffuser or something.

  4. I love bacon. Eat it whenever I can which is most every week day. Weekends I save for sausage and we don't want to see how that's made do we.


    Contrary to my usual practice of subscribing to comments, to save time during challenge I will not be doing so during April. If you want to respond to my comment , please email me directly from your email notification for the comment.
    Thanks.

  5. Actually... not everyone loves bacon. The pigs, for instance.

    As for me, I second Cindy's om nom nom nom nom.

  6. Hi This is a different take on B from all the others. I don't eat bacon but that's fine. I know lots of people do love it. I'm guessing we have a few things in common from your comment on my blog about nostalgia etc. Oh yes, and I will be blogging about beer when it gets to E so do pop back then if not before.

    p.s. It took me almost five minutes to work out which was the right one of your blogs. They all came up on your Blogger Profile which might be a disadvantage during this challenge. Just a thought.

  7. One of my favorite foods! Unfortunately, it's my kids favorite also...there's always a fight to see who will get the last piece.

  8. Yeah, tough choice... Give it to the kids, cause something this wonderful should be shared, or keep it... cause something this wonderful should be kept...

    Best to watch out for the kid's cholesterol... who else would if not the parents... ;)

  9. I love bacon, but can't eat it anymore. Except in very small amounts. Lowering the bp.

    Ah, forgive me if I skip the video. I grew up in the country and had to dress chickens, pigs, and cows. Memories....ick! Fun posts you've got here.

    Now stalking you, too!

  12. Hah! Thanks Unc! I'll be posting that pic in my awards page, which I'll have to create now!

  13. Take one toasted bagel and top with cream cheese. Plop on a couple of pieces of crispy bacon. Top with raw onion and tomato slices. Heavenly!

    Please don't do a video on chicken: how it's processed. Please.

    Anyway - is it BAD for a writer to admit to being thrilled to find a blog today that's NOT talking "books" or "blogs"? :) Just sayin'...

    And I should add, lest someone get mad at me (or whole hordes of bloggers, not to put too fine a point on it, show up with torches and pitchforks), many of those "blog" and "book" posts have been quite entertaining. I just like surprises. And I think this is the FIRST post I've stumbled across that's on BACON!

  14. Well thanks, Holly! I had a similar thought a little while ago. I use the "Next Blog" button, which holding Ctrl, and open about 15 at a time... As I go through, most are about books or instructions for writing or developing characters. While it's not "bad" it gets a little old. I'm going to try to keep things a little off the path. :)

  15. Woohoo, nice choice. I'm surprised Elana hasn't stopped by though, because bacon is one of her favs. Don't be surprised if she does :)

  16. Matt, as you may have noticed, my blog's all over the place. I'm not as "compartmentalized" as some of my other blogger friends - I can't manage to keep up with multiple blogs, or stay "on topic" (which is why I sometimes stay in my own blog-cave, where I can stray OFF topic with impunity!). Staying on topic is important when writing a book or presenting a dissertation. Blogging should be...fun. I know. I'm a heretic. Or maybe I've just been blogging too long to take it all so SERIOUSLY. ;)

    Thanks for dropping by my place - hope to see you there again!

  17. Thanks Eric! I'm enjoying the hell outta this process, I'm already written all the way up to E and have em scheduled. :)

    Holly, I couldn't agree more... I originally used this blog to repost Microsoft articles so that when I needed them, I could find them more easily... Then I realized this blog I do for "fun" was becoming part of my job. Never again!

  18. Heck, that can't be right - I thought those scrummy strips of bacon were harvested from the Porkie-bush??

  19. Oh, YUM~!! Don't eat much bacon any more, but love it, nonetheless~!...Great addition to the "B" category, had a great time..
    See you Monday for "C"...

  20. Very interesting/different "B" post. I like mine crispy.

    BTW, thanks for adding your tip to my post. Good point. Need to have passion about what you post!

  21. Thanks Dawn!

    I actually just posted another letter B post, since it's Sunday and we're supposed to take the day off from posting, I figured it wouldn't hurt to post an extra!
