Representative Don Bacon (R-NE) said Thursday on CNN’s “The Lead” that his Republican colleagues refusing to support Republican leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for Speaker of the House were like terrorists.When anchor Jake Tapper asked about former Rep. Denver Riggleman (R-VA) saying ‘That he worked in counter-terrorism and you can’t negotiate with terrorists,’
Bacon “I feel that way.”He continued, “We were talking about that today. Hostage takers at least have a goal, and they have demands. We met those demands, and still, they can’t get to yes. They refuse to get to yes. They’ve been offered everything but one demand that...

Almost every holiday treat at Trader Joe’s this December is like a Mariah Carey Christmas song—a repeat that never gets old. I
did appreciate that when I went shopping mid-December, instead of blasting default grocery store holiday music, my Trader Joe’s was playing “Tomorrow” by Silverchair (1995), whose lyrics, “very hard to driiiiiink,” also apply to a new gingerbread oat milk latte. Of the limited edition holiday stuff, I recommend the Candy Cane Coated Almonds (not new) for stocking stuffing and stress snacking. But let’s dive into the new stuff.

BACON DAY On December 30th each year, bacon lovers celebrate one of nature’s favored gifts on Bacon Day! The day reminds us that bacon is not just for breakfast and encourages us to test out various ways to enjoy this culinary marvel. #BaconDay
Everything is better with bacon, so someone said once. And our research shows very little to dispute this assertion. The United States and Canada make bacon from the pork belly. Other countries around the world use the side and back cuts of pork. The meat is cured in either a salt brine or a salt pack. It...

Bacon's body was discovered in a secret room in the basement of Latunski's home on December 28, four days after friends and family had last seen him alive. The two had met on Grindr, which is described on its website...

A New Vertical Farm Will Grow 3 Million Pounds of Mycelium a Year for Fungi-Based Bacon

Ask meat eaters and most would likely agree that one of the carnivorous delights non-meat-eaters are most missing out on is bacon. Salty,
smoky, chewy, delectable on sandwiches, crumbled up in recipes, or eaten by hand—there’s really nothing like it. Except now there is, according to startup MyForest Foods and its customers in New York and Massachusetts. The clincher? The vegetarian-friendly bacon substitute is made from mushroom roots. Mushroom roots are technically called mycelium, which isn’t the sort of root you’d see attached to most plants or trees; rather, it’s a root-like structure of fungus composed of a mass of...

Massachusetts Wants Your Bacon

New rules on pork production will lead to regional shortages. Bay
State voters in 2016 approved a referendum that would prohibit the sale of products from farms that confine “any breeding pig [sow], calf raised for veal, or egg-laying hen in a way that prevents the animal from lying down, standing up, fully extending its limbs, or turning around freely.” Hog farmers would be most affected since nearly all are housed in individual pens. “There’s so many things that there’s shortages on, it’s almost like throwing salt on a wound,” ...If Massachusetts can prohibit the sale and mere distribution of...

Rollcall ^
| June 13, 2022
Democrats have been on defense on the economy this year, and the latest report showing inflation still at a 40-year high hasn’t helped. But
a new $4.5 million ad campaign seeks to test whether Democrats can craft economic messages that put Republicans on defense. The six-week ad campaign launched Monday by a group called Unrig Our Economy, which launched earlier this year, targets GOP Reps. Nicole Malliotakis of New York, David Valadao of California, Don Bacon of Nebraska and Ashley Hinson of Iowa. The ads argue that the lawmakers have done more to support corporations than working-class people. “The point...

Kevin Bacon Horror Film They/Them Gets Peacock Release Date, Will Tell A “Queer Empowerment Story Set At A Gay Conversion Camp”

| May 15th 2022 | JB Augustine
They/Them, an upcoming horror film starring Kevin Bacon and set within a “gay conversion camp”, has officially received a date for its release to NBC’s Peacock streaming platform. Bacon
has done his lion’s share of interestingly offbeat horror films in his illustrious career, starting all the way back in 1980 with Friday the 13th. Some were hits, some were misses, and some sadly did not get the attention they deserve. Stir of Echoes, for instance, is still a spooky-good forgotten gem. The same can be said of the heir to the genre’s ghostly and bloody throne, Blumhouse. Popularizing niche franchises...

Umaro is turning ocean-farmed seaweed into imitation bacon

Don’t call it a pivot, exactly — but it’s a fascinating journey, nonetheless. Umaro
Foods, which is set to release a seaweed-based bacon replacement, entered the world as Trophic. The firm, which is now technically a subsidiary of the former, was formed to compete for the $100 million Carbon Removal XPrize. The organization managed to land a $5 million prize, due in part to research Beth Zotter had begun in 2010. This part of the story is familiar at least: With no clear commercial path forward, the firm had to rethink things. Given the the generally horrifying trajectory the planet...

Death row's oldest inmate has had his execution stopped at the last minute because of a mistake in the preparation of the lethal injection. Oscar
Smith, 72, was supposed to be killed on Thursday in Tennessee's first execution since the pandemic began and had even had his last meal of a double bacon cheeseburger and apple pie. Yet Tennessee governor Bill Lee granted a temporary reprieve for Smith, who was convicted of the 1989 killings of his estranged wife and her two teenage sons, after what was called an 'oversight' in preparations for the lethal injection. The Republican governor didn't...

I have never believed there is a “best way” to cook any particular food. I
have my favorites, and recognize that some techniques are more effective than others, but there is no one, perfect way to fry an egg. (There are at least eight.) Culture, personal experience, access to ingredients, and preference all influence how we enjoy food, and cooking lets one tailor their meals to these preferences. (Besides cost, I think this is one of the primary reasons people bother cooking at all.) Some people like chewy bacon, some people like it shatteringly crisp, and some like it microwaved...

Bacon lovers might be in for a sizzling surprise as pork supplies in cold storage tumble to an 11-year low as prices rise due to declining hog herds. The
latest United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) pork data in cold storage as of Dec. 1 was approximately 399 million pounds, a drop of 4.1% from a year ago and now at the lowest point since 2010."The drop came before the spreading omicron virus variant prompted slaughterhouses to slow down in recent weeks as more workers called in sick, further limiting meat production and likely keeping prices for the meat high,"...

Why Spain, the Country With the World’s Best Ham, Makes Such Terrible Bacon

n the Notes app on my phone, I keep a list called “Ingredients to Buy in the U.S.” Horseradish, cake flour, molasses, Chex Mix—I can’t find certain American foods in Madrid, so I lug them back with me, weight allowances be damned. But
customs always swipes my most prized Proustian treasure, one that’s absent, astoundingly, in the Iberian Peninsula: good bacon. Smoky, crispy, sizzling slices of American-style bacon. Bacon is Spain’s biggest culinary disappointment. Flabby, elastic, and chronically undercooked, it’s always too thick or too thin, too salty or too bland. It boasts neither the heady campfire scent of American...

ABC Saves Biden's Bacon in Year-end Roundup

One of the most disturbing concepts in politics is the media elite providing the "first draft of history." You
can test-drive this with a look at ABC's two-hour year-end special that aired on Dec. 27. It was mostly about celebrities and athletes and some natural disasters. But when resident Joe Biden came up, ABC was energetically playing defense. It began with Biden's inauguration and former President Donald Trump's second impeachment proceeding, over the Jan. 6 riot -- when Trump was already replaced. ABC anchorman David Muir announced: "Back at the White House -- A flurry of executive orders, plans to...
