December 6, 2015: Chipotle Bacon from Mariano's

MY LIFE WITH BACON continues this week with a purchase of Mariano's bacon cured with chipotle peppers.

HERE'S THE BACON IN THE CASE - pretty good looking stuff


GOT LAZY THIS WEEK and cooked it in the oven. I crimp the tinfoil to keep the bacon out of the grease when baking.

THE FINISHED PRODUCT looked and tasted great. The bacon is cooked a little too thick for my liking, maybe 1/8 inch. But the flavor was excellent!

March 9, 2014: Wake up!, Bacon 24/SEVEN and an All-Wisconsin bacon cook-off

Image
MY LIFE WITH BACON CONTINUES with a Oscar Mayer promotion, a new book on bacon, some news, and an All-Wisconsin bacon cook-off.  There is so much bacon news going on I'm going to have to blog more often! OSCAR MAYER COMES THROUGH with a great promotion - an actual smartphone app that produces the sound and smell (YES the smell) of bacon!  "Who knows where that crispy compass will lead you." Wake up and smell the bacon!  You have to enter a contest to get the app and the phone hardware for this.  Thanks to so many of you who have emailed me about this.  Here's a link to the promotion, but you should obviously click the link to the right to watch the phenomenal video.   BACON 24/SEVEN!   There are a lot of books about bacon out there, but here's on that is pretty cool: Bacon 24/SEVEN.  It's written by Theresa Gilliam, the guest in this video.  The video has only 8 views, and was produced just before the Super Bowl.  But if you ...

January 26, 2016: OK, It's Been A Couple of Weeks

Image
MY LIFE WITH BACON continues this week after a couple of weeks off. Part of this was an experiment - who would complain? It turns out that no one complained. Either you readers are very happy perusing past posts, go elsewhere for your bacon news, or simply don't care. Well, it IS "MY" life with bacon, isn't it? BACON IN THE NEWS . This week, we have a crime allegedly committed using bacon. Seems a dad, who had his 11-year-old daughter for the weekend, hit her with some bacon. He is out on bond. Article here . If true, this is very bad. The bacon was frozen. She could have been seriously injured! A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF BACON photos appear below. First some Nueske's from Jake (not from State Farm):  Then a Bacon Wedge Salad from The Fulton Market Kitchen in Chicago - YUM! Some Boar's Head - good stuff: In Jack's scramble - he said it's the best ever!

MY LIFE WITH BACON: The Great Bacon Awakening of 2024-2025

  MY LIFE WITH BACON: The Great Bacon Awakening of 2024-2025 A Long Overdue Update After Nearly Two Years of Bacon Silence MY LIFE WITH BACON continues after what can only be described as an EPIC hiatus! Here I am, writing to you on June 27, 2025, and I realize it's been over a year and a half since my last substantial post back in November 2023. Time really does fly when you're... well, when you're apparently NOT blogging about bacon. But fear not, my fellow bacon enthusiasts, because the bacon world has been ANYTHING but quiet during my absence. I've been getting emails, messages, and even the occasional concerned phone call asking, "Where's the bacon content?" and "Have you given up on bacon?" The answer is a resounding NO! If anything, my love affair with bacon has only deepened, and the industry itself has undergone some absolutely MIND-BLOWING changes that I simply MUST share with you. So grab your favorite bacon-scented candle (yes, they ...
