Your Daily Moment Of Bacon Zen.

5 Cupcake Flavors Better Than Bacon?!? (Part 3)

For the final post of cupcake day, we visit the 'Modern Domestic' blog. They held a vote to determine the next great cupcake flavor, in an attempt to (*gasp*)  dethrone bacon as the "it" flavor of the moment. Though I think the whole thing is blasphemy, some of the flavors they came up with (including the winner, 'Bourbon Street') do not sound bad at all. Enjoy!


Cupcake chemistry.

Bacon Porn: Cupcake Edition (Part 2).

I know I've posted on bacon cupcakes before, but it is cupcake day, so I have to post a pic. Now I/we can have our bacon fix for today. Also, this will fit in with "Cupcake Day: Part 3" (to follow). Oh, and the awesome cupcake is courtesy of 'BUZZ Bakery' in Alexandria, VA.

It's Cupcake Day! (Part 1)

I've been on a 'food combined with alcohol' kick the last couple days decided that more of a good thing couldn't be bad. For today, I've decided to focus solely on cupcakes, alcohol-infused and otherwise. For the former (the latter will come later), I've uncovered 'Butch Bakery'. The guys (I'm guessing it is guys, not sure if it's gay guys...not that there is anything wrong with that) objective is simple: make manly, non-frilly cupcakes in awesome flavors. With names like 'Rum & Coke', 'Mojito', 'Driller', 'Tailgate', 'Jackhammer' (ok, it's definitely gay guys), and 'B-52', I'd say they are well on their way. Check out the site, and if you are in NYC, they deliver!

Cupcakes on steroids!

Ice Cream For Daddies, And Kids With Fake IDs.

I was walking around the other day thinking, "you know, there aren't nearly enough foods that contain alcohol." Well, at least one of those is taken care of; ice cream. We have Humphrey Slocombe in San Francisco to thank for this. With flavors like; 'Guinness Gingerbread', 'Russian Imperial Stout', 'Collaborative Evil Ale', and 'Jesus Juice' (red wine and coke), your spiked ice cream needs have been met. But there are two flavors that require further examination and special attention: 'Secret Breakfast', which contains bourbon and corn flakes, because shouldn't every breakfast? And then there is the one flavor that got my attention...'Boccalone Prosciutto' (Boccalone being a purveyor of all things fine and pork-y, and will get their own separate post down the road). Yes, pork ice cream. Though it doesn't contain alcohol, it does contain "salty pig parts", along with fennel and black pepper. There are too many other flavors to go into, but the good news? They ship. Anywhere. I'm thinking pork ice cream for dessert tomorrow.



Ice cream nirvana.

A Vitamin For Drinkers? Cheers!

I'm sure I'm not alone in having had one or two (hundred) nights where over imbibing has caused less than favorable reactions the following morning. Now there is a vitamin supplement that claims to not only give you your daily supply of necessary nutrients, but to also prevent hangovers and other damage from too many hot toddies. 'Drinkwel' is billed as the "multivitamin for healthy people who drink." The description goes on say that  'Drinkwel' will "replenish nutrients, support healthy liver function, and help process alcohol induced toxins." Three capsules daily, and three more before bedtime after a night out, is supposed to make that hangover less nasty and keep you healthier overall. I'm down with that.


No more hangover? I'll drink to that!

The Pepperoni Three-Peat.

What do you get when you stuff Totino's Pizza Rolls inside a Hot Pocket and stuff that into a DiGiorno's Pepperoni Pizza? Awesomeness is what! The evil geniuses at "Freezer Burns" came up with this concoction, their answer to the Tur-Duck-En, apparently for no other reason than to see if it were possible. Check out the video. You may (or may not) want this at your next tailgate/football viewing party.

Pepperoni insanity!
