Lovely Links – Baaaconnn

I don’t like bacon, but the darn stuff is all over the internet at the moment.

I used to like bacon, then I got pregnant with our middle child and suddenly even the thought of bacon made me want to hurl. That was more than four years ago, and I still can’t stomach it. The smell of bacon turns my stomach. I make my kids and my husband eat their much loved cheese and bacon balls out in the shed.

So you may wonder why I am doing a links post with a bacon theme? Well as much as I dislike bacon I do like my friend Shae’frum Yay For Home, and she adores bacon. So here it is, a Saturday Links post, on Sunday, dedicated to my bacon loving friend Shae…

Now some bacon recipes make sense to me, even though I wouldn’t enjoy them, I can see why others would. These bacon and cheese wrapped tater tots (potatoe gems to us Aussies) from Recipe Girl almost has me willing to give it another try.

These bacon and toast cups from The Girl Who Ate Everything are clever, and would make cooking breakfast for a large number of people doable and just a little fancy.

These all bacon cups from Not Martha filled with salad would be a hit at Shae’s place, and Cafe Chocolada’s bacon potatoes would have her drooling for sure!

Plain Chicken’s cheddar, bacon, ranch pull apart bread is clever too… and sounds delish, minus the bacon!

So far, these bacon recipes all seem fairly normal, somewhat clever and interesting…. but now things start to get a little odd on the bacon front.

I can’t mix sweet with savoury flavours, at all, ever…. so the idea of bacon cup cakes like these from Scrumptious Photography is just wrong wrong wrong, even if they do look pretty.

Oh Joy’s bacon and choc chip cookies are not my thing either, but I kind of understand the smokey salty chocolate flavour mix, kinda.

But if you want really weird, how about giving your loved one a bacon boquet? Or perhaps you’d like to brush your teeth with bacon toothpaste? Shae would totally rock these bacon shoes and she really needs some bacon art on her wall…

Do you love or loathe bacon?
Could you stomach a bacon cookie?
Would you brush your teeth with bacon toothpaste?
Have you got any fabulous bacon links to share?

    I read this post at http://www.tracismixedbag.com/2011/07/sundays-in-my-city-san-diego-county.html and at the san diego fair she had a bacon and caramel sundae. So don’t get it, I love bacon, but seriously???????

    I have always thought that there is no dish that cannot be improved by bacon. By that I meant savoury dishes, not sure how i feel about sweet……

    My husband went to the US for work last year and came home with a bacon scented car thingy. Having a moment and have forgotten what they’re called… you know the things you hang from the rear view mirror to make the car smell…nice. Yep, a bacon one. Complete with fake bacon image!

    Some of those links look revolting!

    Now I like bacon as much as the next person but some of those links were just wrong! On so many levels! My boys love bacon but the littlest one hates brushing his teeth, maybe I should invest in some bacon toothpaste!!
