This is the ugliest girl in Australia.  In January.

Reason #7,487:

Overheard in the Family Room

The PC also came home this weekend, gracing us with her presence at least some of the time, since the Boyfriend was also in town.
(Talk about being conflicted...)

While watching AMC's The Walking Dead we were remarking how everything is zombie-centric these days.
Books & movies, TV Shows, iPhone Apps, Ready.gov preparedness pamphlets...

PC: "What's up with all this zombie stuff?"
TBG: "Zombies are the new bacon."

Everything Should Taste Like Bacon...

Every time I think I've seen it all (and let me tell you, I've seen some pretty dark corners of Teh Inatrwebz,)
something pops up that just gives me a "What the...." moment.

Today's case-in-point:
Mmm-velopes.

No, Dumbass, they are not a cross between bacon and antelopes...but who knows, that might be next...



That's right- Bacon flavored envelopes.
 
From those clever folks at J&D's, the purveyors of fine goodies like Baconnaise, Bacon Salt, Bacon Pop & Bacon Ranch Dipping Sauce,
Yep... we are talking a vegetarian-safe, no-refrigeration-needed slice of sunshine...now we have a way to enjoy bacon without the calories...
As long as you don't eat the damn things.

Bacon Bacon, Who's Got the Bacon?

Or better yet- Who's got the Bacon Jam?...
Because just adding a slice or two (or six) to a cheeseburger just doesn't do the trick....



….we take a big bunch of really really good bacon, and render it down...add a bunch of spices..onions, etc..and let it simmer for about 6 hours…give it a quick puree, and blast chill it…and you have bacon jam..
