Bacon coffee syrup makes your breakfast dreams come true
First it was putting actual bacon in your coffee, then it was combining the flavours in a lollipop, and now, I give you, the complete crossover. Bacon flavoured coffee syrup.
Mmm. It even works in milkshakes. Combining bacon and bovines. A real farmyard culinary cacophany.

Pizza capers
One of the coolest things about moving to Brisbane was discovering Pizza Capers. They’re pretty expensive. But they do cool flavour combos. But if I was on about their pizzas in this post I’d have capitalised the C in the title.
We’ve been working on our homemade pizza skills recently, and I’m pretty happy with my bastardisation of a Pizza Capers creation.
Here’s the recipe:
- Pizza dough (we make it in our breadmaker).
- Jack Daniel’s Smokey BBQ sauce.
- Chicken (marinated in said sauce – which also functions as the base), cooked first, of course.
- Bacon, also marinated. Also in said BBQ sauce.
- Mozzarella Cheese – in the lumpy form, not the grated form.
- Potato sliced thinly, boiled first.
- Sour cream – a drizzle on top.
- Onion – somewhere in the piece.
Mmm. Delicious. But tangential to my actual purpose of posting. Firstly, I wanted to know what good topping options are out there. And secondly, it seemed an appropriate way to share this video. My next step in pizza making…

How to cook bacon like a real man
I promise this is my last post about bacon for at least a day… but you need to read this. If you want to cook bacon like a real man.
Have you got an old machine gun lying around? With about 200 spare rounds of bacon? Then you’re set. If you don’t, then go out now, buy one, and come back. This post won’t go anywhere in the meantime.
I’ve discovered a new way of cooking bacon. All you need is: bacon, tin foil, some string, and.. oh whats it called?… oh yeah, an old worn out 7.62mm machinegun that is about to be discarded, and about 200 rounds of ammunition.
You start by wrapping the barrel in tin foil. Then you wrap bacon around it, and tie it down with some string.
you then wrap some more tin foil around it, and once again tie it down with string.
It is now ready to be inserted into the cooking device. I ripped the tin foil a little bit getting the barrel inserted. that part of the bacon got severely burned by hot gasses.
After just a few short bursts you should be able to smell the wonderful aroma of bacon.
I gave this about 250 rounds. but I think around 150 might actually be enough. But then again I don’t mind when bacon is crispy. Ahh the smell of sizzling bacon mixed with the smell of gunpowder and weapon oil.
And the end result: Crispy delicious well done bacon.
Heaven on a plate
Gary shared this picture of my life… summed up as a dessert – which is kind of a metasummary – my life could be summed up as dessert anyway…
This, friends, is a glazed cinnamon donut with candied bacon bits, served with coffee icecream.
Thanks Gary.
How to make your own bacon beer
I wrote about a professionally brewed bacon beer a while ago. It was a limited edition and had already sold out. Sorry to whet your appetite while simultaneously crushing your palatial dreams. Well today I come to your rescue – lets call this porcine bitter… the recipe is recorded in full here (it comes with an extreme language warning).
Step 1. Cook some bacon.
Step 2. Put the bacon in a jar, covered with whisky.
Step 3. Rest for 24 hours in a dark place, then chill it in the freezer for 4-6 hours.
Step 4. Strain it over and over again with a coffee filter – you’re aiming for a clear, but bacon flavoured, alcoholic liquid.
Step 5. The guy who invented this used porter – you could probably use any type of beer that you want to taste like bacon. He used 100 drops of bacon bourbon for every 350mL of beer.

A rasher decision
Bacon toilet paper*. I’m not sure there’s anywhere I can go with this. Except to say that if you’re going to print something on your toilet paper it may as well be something awesome.
If you’re trying to understand why I talk about bacon so much perhaps you should read point four from this Slate article.

Bacon chips
Apparently a bunch of my fellow first years think of me as “the bacon guy”… I confess I may use bacon as a yardstick of orthodoxy. It’s what separates the (Christian) men from the (Jewish) boys in the early church. I have framed a couple of questions about theology with bacon as the pivotal point… and I did ask a question in New Testament about why Jews kept pigs for Jesus to drive demons into (I’ve pondered that here somewhere too). My reputation is probably deserved – but, my fellow first years, watch who you make these statements to. I have ears everywhere…
But I digress. I can’t help but be excited about this post. Bacon and chips are two food groups that I enjoy as part of my balanced diet. I can cut a food group completely – and thus be healthier – just by eating these bacon chips. That’s right. Bacon chips.
We start with the best quality potatoes and add a proprietary blend of some extra-bacony goodness. They will put a grin on your face and promise to test your limits of self-control.
Vegan cheese
I have a vegan friend. I keep asking if you can be a vegan and give up every meat except bacon. I also asked the other day if he would drink bottled and commercially sold breast milk produced by willing mothers. He wasn’t sure. So it was with interest that I read about this cheese that is proving popular in New York – and not just with vegans looking for a dairy fix.
Chef Daniel Angerer is letting diners at Klee Brasserie munch on cheese made from his wife’s breast milk.
“It tastes like cow’s-milk cheese, kind of sweet,” he told The Post.
The flavor depends on what the cheese is served with — Angerer recommends a Riesling — and “what the mother eats,” said Angerer, who once bested Bobby Flay on TV’s “Iron Chef.”
Unfortunately, at this point, the cheese can’t be produced without adding a bit of cow milk – but vegans everywhere are no doubt hoping that a workaround can be found…
Teenage Mutant Bacon Turtles
I like Bacon. I like our pet turtles. I can’t say I’ve ever thought of combining the two before. But some turtle fan out there has piqued my interest and whet my appetite. Mmm. Bacon. What a mutation.
