Before the caffeine kicks in

The name on my bag of ground coffee reads "Hava Java" and every time I see the bag, Hava Nagila starts playing in my head.

Coffee's ready...

I <3 my Camelbak

I heart my Camelbak

Originally I bought a Nalgene OTG bottle, without doing any research. When I got home, I read this on their site:

"So, what we're saying is enjoy the indestructible quality of the bottle, enjoy your liquids without the "dreaded" plastic taste & smell, enjoy the fact that this quality bottle was manufactured in the USA, but don't put it upside down in your backpack."

Uhhh, if I designed a water bottle and it LEAKED, it should be straight back to the drawing board. A slight design flaw, don't you think?

I took it straight back to the store and exchanged for a Camelbak. You don't even need to tilt it to drink, eliminating spinning class showers...and it looks not much bigger than my old 500mL bottle but actually holds more than 750mL, so I get an extra 2 cups of water a day without realizing it.

In a world...where everything tastes like BACON

I really hate assorted subs and any dishes that mix meats. However, everyone knows that BACON is the great moderator - bacon wrapped scallops, pasta carbonara with grilled chicken, a burger topped with a few greasy strips...EVERYTHING goes well with bacon!

Seriously...who doesn't like bacon?

So these two nutty guys have come up with BaconSalt, a condiment that's calorie free, vegetarian, and kosher, although definitely not sodium free, heh. The idea is so insane, it's actually brilliant.

I'd give this shit a try.

In case that's not enough for you, there's bacon spray, bacon toothpicks and also bacon chocolate, among many other smoked swine-derived products.
