That looks so tasty. This idea is a new twist on an old idea. See people don't like salad so they put something bad for you on it that tastes good like ranch dressing or bacon bits. It as also been used with things like cheese on Brocoli or other things, I think this might be my favorite form of it though.

OMG YUM-O
iriesara - 01/07/09 11:40
how yummy would it be to bake a little quiche in there!?! or like a cheesburger cassarole type thing baked right in, yum! I'm sure there's more creative things you could do, but that much bacon makes me go into cave man thinking...me like bacon
lauren - 01/07/09 10:08
oh.my.god.
that is beautiful.
paul - 01/07/09 00:05
Yum, crunch, yum!
joshua - 01/06/09 22:27
Ha - this is cool. But I still need my bacon in my salad, rather than having my salad in the bacon!
libertad - 01/06/09 20:28
those looks so freaking good.
james - 01/06/09 20:16
are they dishwasher safe?
mrmike - 01/06/09 20:11
that is beyond awesome
tinypliny - 01/06/09 20:02
Haha - she was actually obsessed enough to photo document all of that step by step.

All that salad is lacking is bacon bits.
jim - 01/06/09 19:10
I think a 50/50 bacon to lettuce ratio is perfectly appropriate!
theli - 01/06/09 18:59
To bad our favorite deity made our arteries so bad at handling it. :p

I find it hilarious that they actually contain salad.

Afternoon Nap
I wish it was culturally acceptable to take naps in the mid-afternoon. Then staying up until Midnight wouldn't make me wretched the next day.
joshua - 01/06/09 16:37
I thought that today myself - I was home very briefly and lamented that I couldn't stay for an hour to nap.
hodown - 01/06/09 15:56
I second that!

Sucky Day!
Category: life
First panic attack in a year. This is awesome. I frickin' hate myself sometimes.

December was 2 weeks of being mostly sick and semi-functional, a week of vacation, and a few days of holidays. Plus quitting smoking this week. No wonder one of my project's schedule has slipped a month, but still it's freaking me out. At least the big project is still on track.

Oh well, at least I have a nice co-worker who is covering my communication duties today.

Sorry, world, for spilling my crazy all over you today.

tinypliny - 01/05/09 20:09
If it makes you feel any better (or may be worse) I am on a week-long panic attack starting today. My advisor will be gone for two weeks after this week. So I HAVE TO FINISH my writing this week so that I can submit it for a grant that is due the week she will be back.

  • Pardner in panic attack - big five!*
hodown - 01/05/09 16:13
Deep breaths...
heidi - 01/05/09 15:59
It's okay, Jim! Panic attacks suck...When I have them it's so hard for me to remember that things will change, things will ease. Thanks for reaching out to us.
jason - 01/05/09 15:33
Jim, we are all human and have our limitations. Don't bruise yourself up over this. After all, the weight of the world isn't on your shoulders. Things have a way of working out usually. Feel better man.

Michael Vick
Category: aminals
My brother's job is to rehabilitate Michael Vick's dogs. 22 of his dogs were placed at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah where he works ( ).

It's a very weird intersection with fame. They've got like half a dozen people working with these dogs every day to get them adoptable. My brother says that most of them are actually fine, but they've got to go to extreme lengths to prove that they're harmless before they can be considered adoptable.



james - 12/31/08 10:31
I am so glad your brother has a job he really enjoys.
jenks - 12/31/08 09:37
wow. good for your bro. That's so awesome... as you may or may not know, i've done some work with pits blah blah, so I love stories like this. :)
