From J&D's, the people who brought you Bacon Salt and Baconnaise (among other bacon-flavored products), come bacon-flavored envelopes. Yeah, instead of tasting like paste, you can now dream of breakfast as you pay your bills. As with Bacon Salt and Baconnaise, there's no real bacon in Mmmvelopes, so they're as vegetarian- or vegan-friendly as a pork-flavored stationery item can be. As such, the website says you don't need to refrigerate them. Available at mmmvelopes.com, $6.99 for 25 envelopes...

For bacon with perfectly crunchy-chewy texture, Alton Brown chooses his waffle iron over the normal pan approach. This got us thinking—what about a panini press or George Foreman grill?

"Philly is greatly underrepresented in the hot dog history books." [Original art and photography: Hawk Krall] Past Weeks' Dogs Philly Dirty Water DogChicago DogDetroit ConeysSeattle StyleHalf-Smoke This week we take a look at another Philadelphia hot dog—one that seems to have slipped through the cracks of hot dog history. Popular with 1950s housewives and on almost every greasy spoon menu in Philadelphia, Eastern Pennsylvania, and South Jersey, the Texas Tommy is a grilled and split hot dog loaded with bacon and lots of cheese. Other condiments are optional but not necessary. The earliest Texas Tommys were wrapped in bacon before being cooked and grilled, or deep-fried like they used to make them at The Cup in Pottstown, Pennsylvania (now closed)....

"If any attendees walked out of Baconfest disappointed, 100% of the blame falls on their defective palates." Inside-out pig in a blanket from David Burke's Primehouse. [Photographs: Daniel Zemans] You never know when inspiration is going to hit. For Michael Griggs and Andre Pluess, it came early this year after seeing the Neo-Futurists perform Beer, a puppet-filled musical about the visions of a ten-year-old boy who gets drunk after sneaking into a brewery. The play left Michael and Andre wondering what they loved as much as the playwright loved beer. Before long, they had their muse: Bacon. Once that realization hit, the wheels started turning and they decided to plan a huge tribute to bacon. Late that night, they called...

If you can make mayonnaise out of egg yolks and oil, why not make mayonnaise out of egg yolks and rendered animal fat? Introducing meatonnaises: mayos made with beef, bacon, duck, and lamb fats.

Photograph: The Argus I love this story from last week in The Argus, which mentions a British artist finding a slice of bacon left as a bookmark in a returned library book. I've used all manner of items as impromptu bookmarks over the years (yarn, movie tickets, bus passes, a dollar bill), but I don't think I've ever used a food item. And the disappointing thing is that, if this is the actual book-and-bacon combo, it's not even in a cookbook. (Then again, the way some of my most-used cookbooks look, I may have well used a slice of bacon to mark a favorite recipe.) The funny thing is that people do seem to use food as bookmarks. The...

[Photograph: Nick Kindelsperger] The club sandwich is a tall wonder containing turkey (sometimes chicken), lettuce, tomato, bacon, and no less than three slices of bread, all cut into quarters and secured with frilly toothpicks. I was so ready to have a gleeful romp with the American classic that I even bought the special toothpicks and a bag of chips to dump in the middle. You can't imagine my high spirit as I sat down to this light dinner. Nowadays the sandwich is bastardized because it is usually made as a three-decker, which is not authentic (whoever started that horror should be forced to eat three-deckers three times a day the rest of his life)... — James Beard on the...

One Hungry Chef's DIY BLT flowchart. Earlier this summer, food writer Michael Ruhlman challenged his readers to make BLTs from scratch and to go as "from scratch" as possible. This morning, Ruhlman announced the winners on his site. Among various categories--Best BLT Photo, Best BLT Interpretation, Most Inspirational BLT--was the Best Over All BLT, made by Jared Dunnohew of One Hungry Chef. As his cool flow chart shows, Dunnohew did almost everything short of raising the pig and growing the wheat. He foraged in parks for herbs for the bread, the homemade mustard, and the pork cure. He harvested his own sea salt (25 liters of ocean water yields 1 kilogram of salt, he reports). He grew his own...

[Photo: Passive Aggressive Notes] Passive Aggressive Notes documents multiple instances of stolen bacon. My favorite is the one above; a lot of people must've been opening those boxes. Why? I just don't know. Related Photo of the Day: Roommate's Revenge Photo of the Day: We Waited...
