Ok wall of weird news time.

First, apparently bacon is the new aphrodisiac. Yes I said bacon. As in pig rear. One person was actually quoted as saying bacon was sex in the skillet. Another said bacon tastes “magical”. Apparently his defination of magical and mine are on opposite ends of a very large spectrum. We won’t even get into the whole sex in the skillet commercial that left me wanting to take a very long shower to get the icky off. There is a restaurant in the DC area that has some sort of bacon party type things. Let me tell you, that just seems rather um… yeah let’s not go there…

Second, a friend told me about the newest fad for singletons in NYC. Cuddle parties. There are strict rules to pajama wearing and no actual intimate relations. So you hook up and you cuddle and then you leave.

Hope no one brings bacon…

There was indeed one other item that has escaped me now. Probably because I’m still freaked out over the whole bacon thing. So what do you do? Dress up sexy for your honey and then wiggle greasy bacon at him? I just cannot imagine going away for the weekend for some romantic to-do and lying there in bed in my silky nightgown going “And here, let me feed you bacon.”

Oh yes, that reminds me of the third point. Ahh all you carb obsessed fiends out there. Apparently Atkins has just not caught on in Europe and in fact when asked, chefs in several countries were outraged at the idea of cutting carbs. One even said that cutting carbs out of breakfast was just not right. Of course the Europeans don’t have as many problems since they walk a heck of a lot more than Americans do. It is a whole other life across the pond. You don’t have huge fridges or freezers, you tend to walk everywhere since everything is nearby. It’s the way they’ve done it for two thousand or more years. Here things are flung away from the neighbourhoods. And I think we all know my feelings on cutting out whole sections of the food pyramid and eating vast quantities of meat which is just plain unhealthy. The Lord said “Eat meat sparingly”. Last time I checked 3 times a day was not sparingly. *SHUDDER* I just found this one interesting.

Hey wonder if the Europeans think bacon is sexy?
