BACON! BACON! BACON!
« Reply #-1 on: February 11, 2014, 06:06:08 AM »
I think a field trip is in order.  No, call it a pilgrimage!  Our favorite food is front and center in New Jersey:

I have one little problem, however.  There's this snow storm that's going to hit about noon today and cover my area with about thirty feet of icy, cold white crud that will bring an end to life as we know it for several days and perhaps longer.  Maybe somebody cold attend this and send us back a report?

A couple of BIG "ifs" would have to take place to make the journey.  First, my wife would have to be home already and second, the D@MN weather would have to cooperate!!  Otherwise, it wouldn't take much for me to talk the Teemeister into another road trip.  We could even pick up Hub on the way.

I wonder if this is a traveling road show?  Kind of like "sportsman shows".  Have to keep watching to see.

I'd be the one standing beside the road with an icicle hanging from my thumb  ::)

Make a detour through Texas on your way, and pick me up.

Maybe we ought to look into helping sponsor a Bacon Fest closer to home.  Any thoughts?

Hmmm, tough decision.  ::)

Atlantic City weather calls for rain with highs in the mid 30's to low 40's.  Las Vegas weather mostly sunny with highs in the low 70's to low 80's.  I think I'll pass on this one and wait for someone else to post a report.
