God Bless Bacon I

What other better title for my first post in this blog that no one is going to read anyway?

My friends and I have nothing to hide... we are ALL card-carrying members of the Church of Bacon. We worship it.

So what better treat to find in the June 22, 2009 issue of People than a gift guide suggestion of BACONNAISE?

Lo and behold--in my usual surf-y fashion--I stumbled upon other J&D's bacon gems worth buying (or at least coveting) that I have decided you should know about:

• Bacon salt (num num num)
• Bacon-flavored lip balm (GET OUT!)
• Ultimate bacon lover's gift pack (hint hint)

None of this stuff is currently available on Amazon, and I don't think it is available in my most-favorite place on the planet, Minneapolis (second only to the Quad Cities, which is tied with Dubuque, Iowa and East Dubuque, Illinois...oh, and lest we forget the terribly scenic and sophisticated Colona--and Green River!--Illinois. Oy vey! OK... maybe Minneapolis doesn't suck so much. And at least there is work here for me. And a fiance. But the winters are CRAP!).

But you can "bet your bippy" (exactly what IS a bippy, anyway?!?!) I signed up for Amazon's "Alert Me" service. They are gonna e-mail me when (if?) these items are ever again available to order.
