More Bacon = Success
As we progress in age during life, it seems we strive to do things that would be impossible to achieve even in our youth. We sign up for aerobic classes where we jump up and down in sync to the latest music, which really isn't music. We promise to learn to speak pig...
Honey and Bacon Grease
Honey is akin to bee snot, regurgitated bee spit, or bee beer. It’s also a good sugar substitute. Isn’t it amazing how we describe essential ingredients in the modern kitchen. The common ingredient of honey either devolves and evolves as we choose to use it, and...
The Power of Knowledge

“Oh, by the way - did I tell you? I’m engaged!” Yeah, she actually said that to me. She was holding up her hand showing me a ring with a huge rock on it. I was a 21 year old US Marine Corporal, just home from an overseas deployment. I had taken her out for...
Fruitcake For Everybody!
My unintended task - which I started on a whim and doesn't exactly involve fruitcake - is to write at least 500 words a day on any subject for 32 days straight. This is somewhat like the photographers challenge of taking a photograph every day for 365 days. Today...
