SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Roseland Ready to Eat Bacon. It’s the Bacon of Choice, when you absolutely, positively cannot stand around waiting for Bacon.

We spent quite a bit of this hour discussing the deliciousness of Bacon. I am okay with that. It needed to be done.

What I was not expecting was the massive outpouring of Bacon feedback. Our inboxes are overflowing with all things chewy, salty, savory, and grease-soaked. J is reportedly ecstatic. Mickey may smile.

Allow me to take this opportunity to share the sheer Baconicity of our Listeners, with links aplenty for you to snarf down. Happy artery hardening!

http://bacontoday.com – This handy li’l gem comes from MalibuPJ, consisting of a full blown daily digest of all things Bbacony. It’s chock-filled with recipes, true stories of Bacon-Justice, and plenty of meaty articles. She points out the TurBaconducken, which is a mouthful in all senses of the word. Yes. Turkey, duck, chicken…. All lovingly wrapped and rendered in the sheerest, shimmering Porquoise.

http://bacontwits.com – The Greatest Tool for the Twittering Public, Ever. Glenn Webber clued us in to this. It’s a fast paced world in which we live today, and sometimes the more sizzly, important things in life get lost in the shuffle. With BaconTwits, missed BaconTweets are a thing of the past, as the site lovingly reproduces any and all messages containing the delicious five-letter term for happiness. Join in the conversation, as hundreds, nay thousands seek to do the impossible: Convey their love for Bacon in 140 characters or less.

For The Love Of Bacon – Noelle Carter, Los Angeles Times – Never to be outdone, BGDLE, ChrisP sends us a crispy portal that leads only to madness. Salivate with me, then, if you will, to the concepts of a Apple-Bacon Coffeecake. Too sweet? Then cleanse thy palate with a savory Bacontini. I am not making this stuff up people. This is REAL, this is Elementary dear, Elementary, Watson, Elementary, aaaarrgghh!

There ain’t nowhere to run. Bacon will have us all. So I say it is time. A few people have tried it, but we need to do what SomaCow does best (following great ideas through to their realization) and celebrate a full international Bacon Convention.

That’s right, people! BaCon, 2oo9! Let’s make it happen!

Imagine the possibilities!

We could have BacOffs, where competitors armed only with a pan and a gas flame struggle to achieve the perfect ratio of fatty to lean cooked Bacons.

Ba-confit (Frenchy!), where high-minded individuals seek to create Baconsserts (delicious Bacon-desserts, designed for wine pairing)!

BaCongress, where a council of elders works to answer the great Baconundrums of our generation: Is maple flavoring a good thing? Should people that like their Bacon burnt be ostracized, or is any lover of Bacon welcome at the table? Just what IS Fatback, and how can we get our hands on some of it?  Is Bacon from Canadia REALLY Bacon, or is it just ham?

Oh, the ideas are spattering in my brain-pan, baby. It almost hurts.

We, the three wise men (and Ross) strive each week to bring gold, BACONsense, and Mirth.  We’re doing it live tonight (Friday) at 7pm eastern.

I need a friggen drink. See y’all tonight, Live in the Ustream!

  1. aaah bacon…

    Bacon.
    How you sizzle
    As the pan sears
    Splatter!

    Bacon.
    The greasy plate
    A short term refuge
    Cooling…

    Bacon.
    The chew and grind
    Taste and swallow
    Heaven!
