As most people know, yesterday was the super bowl.  So went over to a friend’s apartment and had far too much pork.  I wrote about bacon explosion a little bit ago, and figured why not try it out on some unsuspecting friends?  That’s exactly what I did.  I have to say "explosion" is a great name for this product of pork.  I would go with "death" instead.  After consuming my slice I felt my stomach about to explode, a Xenomorph popping free and slaughtering my friends.  Damn it was tastey though.  Would have worked better on a grill.

Before anyone else could come over, a building two or three doors down, seemed to have caught fire.  I’m going to guess somene’s cooking didn’t agree with the walls and decided to pick a fight.  It was pretty sweet watching the firemen do their thing.  Running up ladders, carrying hoses and all that.  It must not have been a very big fire because it was all over within 15 minutes.  Firemen really do have a tough gig.

Then onto the super bowl.  What a game that was.  I was very shocked when the Cardinals took the Steelers towards the end.  Then in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter the Steelers went and did an incredible drive to win.  Down to the last minute.  Was exciting to watch the only foot ball game of the year that I ever watch.

Of course super bowl means commercials some were really god damn hilarious, I’ll only post two that cracked me up and we had to rewind on the TiVo a few times to witness a second, even third time.

For pictures of the fire and pork death, head over to my Flickr set.

Alright,  I thought I had a serious love of bacon and could figure out anything to make with it.  I definitely use it to enhance the flavor of foods that don’t have bacon.  I even own Bacon Salt.  I also have a mean love of some good bbq.  I’ve added bacon to bbq in the past but not to the extent of this monster.

That is a serious heart attack waiting to happen.  I bet it’s incredible on the flavor department.  I do believe I will make this for Super Bowl on Sunday.  See how well it works out.  Much better than bacon wrapped jalapeno poppers.

Also along the lines of bacon.  There’s Bacon Camp in San Francisco this March. That sounds like good times. I have quite a few bacon recipes I can bust out and attempt to use that nobody else might. I should pay attention to that site to see what everyone else is making and then do something completely different. Pate with bacon? That sounds good.

It’s no secret that I have a slight obsession with bacon.  Everything tastes better with bacon.  It’s the best meat known to man, ever.  Hands down nothing can beat the power of bacon.

Now if I were to ever wear a watch again, something I haven’t done since I was in the 5th grade and g-shock watches were all the rage, I would definitely pick up this one.  It’s bacon that tells time.

Of course over at Archie McPhee’s there’s all sorts of other bacon swag.  It’s like going to a store in china town only on the web.  It’s good times.
