Bacon Thing of The Day: Bacon Powered Windmill

Leave a comment

From Instructables Dot Com:

Have you ever wondered what you would do for light and entertainment do if you had no power, no candles, and no television, but you did have a plentiful supply of bacon? Of course you have. But wonder no more, because I have come up with the highly entertaining Bacon Powered Windmill for hours of power outage fun. We all know how nice it is to sit and stare at fire. With this contraption you not only get fire, but a whirling, spinning, rotating wheel as well.

Step By Step directions on how to make your very own Bacon Powered Windmill can be found at This Link.

Thanks to Bambi Bogert for the Tip!

Bacon Thing of The Day: Make Your Own Bacon Infused Bourbon

Leave a comment

New York Magazine’s website has posted a delicious-sounding cocktail recipe for an Old Fashioned made with maple syrup and bacon-infused bourbon. Coincidentally, I was just watching a show on the Food Network the other day where the host made bacon-infused vodka and it looked super easy. I bet this bacony bourbon would be easy to make as well. You can find out for yourself since there are step by step directions on how to make batch at this link on NYMag.com. Try it out and then invite me over for cocktails!

Pink Thing of The Day: Pink Fuzzy Cabinet Shelving!

The Seventies Will Never Die

Designer Ryan Humphrey – a former contestant on Bravo’s Top Design – got what can only be called wildly creative with his apartment redesign project, which features these Hot pink fake fur-lined shelving units. Oh my. Ryan explains: “These are guitar amplifier cabinets that I turned into bookshelves lined with faux fur. Nothing says ‘Hair Metal’ more than high quality pink fur.” I would have them in my house; that is without question. Read all about the redesign project and see pictures of all of the other rooms (hint: very cool) at this link.

Barrel Drum Kit

Here’s an interesting “homemade” drum kit: crafted from wooden barrels and consisting of a snare, single floor tom (somewhat obscured in the above photo) and two rack toms mounted on a very deep “kick.” I can’t imagine what the tones are like, but it sure does look cool.
