How good is bacon? Would you want to eat it everyday? Does pork taste good enough to convert a vegan of 12 years? Well one woman - through a scientific and totally impartial experiment, of course - has answered these vital questions for us all.
On a 30 day ‘diet’ of eating pork, mandydale (flickr screen name) claims to have not only realized how versatile this meat is, but also to have lost weight.
While eating a hearty breakfast of bacon and eggs, accompanied by a fresh glass of milk, do you ever wonder what bacon flavored milk would taste like?
If the answer is yes, you are not alone. One bacon-fanatic took this pondering a step further, and wrote the Illinois Pork Producers’ Association a considerable letter questioning why this resource has not yet been taken advantage of.
In his letter, this gentleman asks some valid questions, such as; pigs lactate, so why don’t we milk them? And, with all of the other things produced by pigs (such as spam and pork-chops), why not add milk to the list? Read the rest of this entry »

It was cold and dark in our basement until we transformed it into a warm and cosy getaway. You should see it now! Wall to wall carpeting, a gorgeous gas fireplace and there are real walls - not just bare concrete. We didn’t have a huge budget, so we wanted to do as much as possible ourselves. We also wanted to get it right the first time. If it hadn’t been for the excellent information we found at RemodelingMySpace.com it never would have become the enjoyable space it is today. The Basement Remodeling & Repair area on their site prepared us with what we needed to know before beginning our renovation adventure. The section on Fireplaces, Inserts & Woodstoves was very informative and helped us make the decision to go with a high efficiency gas fireplace insert.
Hearthside had a terrific selection and we chose to go with the style that had a lighter wood mantle like the one shown.

In New Jersey, there are a lot of people that use slang and now refer to Police officers as PIGS. Wikipedia has the following definition: Bacon: Derived from Pigs: often used in the structure “I smell bacon” to warn of the approaching presence of an officer. I think this name was created from the fact that a lot of Police officers in NJ (New Jersey) are spending much of their time in Donut shops like Duncan Doughnuts, scarfing down a lot of junk food like pigs. Very often you can see marked cruisers parked outside the parking lot of local doughnut shops all throughout New Jersey. Instead of giving out a New Jersey traffic ticket, these police officers/pigs/bacon just sit on their butts eating donuts and drinking coffee and getting fat. Even the following news website talks about this. Visit it at http://www.newsnet5.com/news/7516014/detail.html
