National Bacon Day giveaway.

Apparently today is National Bacon Day. If you were to ask DF, he would likely insist that every day is National Bacon Day. (He eats a lot of the stuff.)

Some people believe that bacon is bad for you. It probably is. But if you need a reason to believe in bacon, check out this interesting factoid from National Today:

Bacon contains a nutrient (we know, we’re surprised too) called “choline.” It’s been known to increase intelligence and memory, fight Alzheimer’s Disease, and protect the heart from developing lethal problems.

We never thought our favorite food could get any better, but then we learn about its health benefits. Thank you, bacon; you’re the gift that keeps on giving.

I’ve been collecting porcine prizes for just such an occasion. The winner of the National Bacon Day giveaway will receive the following delights:

Makin’ Bacon game. This is touted as “a delicious dice game for the whole family.” I’ll let the winner be the judge.

Wooden sign. It says “Bacon is duct tape for the kitchen.” Agreed!

Bacon Strips Adhesive Bandages. Yes. Someone invented Bacon Band-Aids.

 

 

“I Love Bacon,” by Jayne Rockmill. This cookbook has recipes for every meal of the day, and also for desserts. (My dear partner, who has been known to make Peanut Butter and Bacon Cookies and Bacon-Molasses-Cayenne Peanut Brittle, approved this message.)

Bacon Bowls. According to the packaging, these dishwasher-safe items let you make “delicious edible bowls out of bacon!” They can be used in the microwave, toaster oven or regular oven.

 

 

 

Bacon-Flavored Toothpicks. As DF notes, these are perfect for holding your bacon-loaded club sandwich together. Also great for dental hygiene, après your bacon-heavy breakfast. Speaking of which, the last item is…

Breakfast Floss. This trio of breakfast-food-flavored floss includes bacon along with waffles and coffee. Hey, I don’t make this stuff up – I just give it away.

And if bacon isn’t your jam* – well, these things would fit wonderfully into your next few white-elephant holiday gift exchanges.

As always, it’s easy to enter:

Be sure to leave a separate comment for each entry (e.g., “Subscribed via e-mail” or “Follow you on Twitter”).

The deadline to enter is 7 p.m. PST Tuesday, Jan. 7. If I don’t hear back from the winner by 7 p.m. PST Wednesday, Jan. 8, then the random number generator will be forced to choose a new name.

Note: Due to the high cost of international shipping, this giveaway is for U.S. residents only.

*Here is a recipe for Bacon Jam.

  6. Your bacon celebration is so timely! I just removed bacon from the freezer ahead of frying it tomorrow to go on top of a technically “Christmas Breakfast Casserole” that I prepare a 2nd go-round for New Year’s Day. It is so darn easy & my entire family loves it. I just delete the bacon from part of the casserole for my DD vegetarian, then load it on for DH & myself. And of course, I always fry an extra slice for the secret enjoyment of little dog & the cook. The casserole sits in the fridge overnight & is ready to pop in the oven on short notice. Btw, I follow you via email.

  118. Hope you’re busy with other things in a good way. Would you consider putting up a “random post” link so those who miss you can get to another one of your posts more easily? Smitten Kitchen has a “Surprise!” link that might explain better than I am.
