The Bacontini gave us our first foray into the world of alco-bacon. Made by a bar in Las Vegas, it’s the perfect combo of bacon and alcohol. When we saw this next link, we thought it was also going to be an awseome combo of bacon and booze.

We couldn’t have been more wrong. Turns out the Meatini is much more similar to the bacone than the bacontini.

Travel along on a heartwarming journey through a random morning with the Veitches. Turns out Mr. Veitch is a bit of an experimental cook who likes to use bacon to try new things out. There are many worthwhile tests in this blog post. First, he tries multiple molds for making bacon bowls. He also creates “meat ice” and uses mushrooms for drink umbrellas.

The result takes you to a delicious, if not remotely healthy breakfast meal where you can even eat the dishes.

In the creator’s own words, “VERDICT: SUCCESS! THE MEATINI IS LITERALLY THE BEST THING EVER INVENTED IN THE HISTORY OF EVERYTHING EVER!”

That’s a rather good review in my eyes.

Who needs salad bowls when you have bacon? Megan over at “Not Martha” created one of the most fantastic uses of bacon we’ve ever seen with her Bacon Cups.

She started by weaving the bacon into a small mat, then layed the woven bacon over foil-covered, upside-down muffin pans. Ingenius! After that she cooked the bacon in the oven at 400 degrees until the bacon was extra-crispy and would hold the bowl shape once removed from the muffin pans.

She does warn chefs trying this culinary triumph to beware of oven fires. The bacon grease can start a blaze in the oven if you don’t constantly monitor it while cooking.
