A heaping plate of bacon washed down with a frosty mug of beer is the perfect start to any day, but why can’t scientists unite those two divine tastes into a single swallow? True, there is a German beer called Rauchbier, which means “smoked beer” and reportedly tastes like bacon, but it’s not literally made with cured pig flesh. But at long last, Brooklyn Brewery brewmaster Garrett Oliver has heard the call of drunken gluttons and is developing a beer made with a special malt smoked in the same room with bacon made by “the legendary” Allan Benton. Oliver tells the Times, “It’s almost terrifying how much the malt smells like bacon.” His ingenious plan involves infusing a brown ale with the flavor of Benton’s bacon fat through a technique known as “fat washing.” The bacon-fat-infused ale is aged in bourbon barrels, and one historic day (t.b.d.) he will blend it with the bacon-smoked malt. And Oliver promises this to a world hushed with anticipation: “Either this will be the most amazingly disgusting thing you’ve ever tasted in your life. Or I shall rule the earth.”

90 percent of U.S. bills carry traces of cocaine
Not sure debit cards could be much better. Anyhow – here are some highlights. I believe I’d prefer to move toward a barter system.
Zuo, who spoke about his research at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society on Sunday, found that $5, $10, $20 and $50 bills were more likely to be positive for cocaine than $1 bills.
“Probably $1 is a little too less to purchase cocaine,” Zuo said “I don’t know exactly [why]. It’s an educated guess.”
For years, health agencies have advised people to wash their hands after touching cash for sanitary reasons. Disease-causing organisms such as staphylococcus aureus and pneumonia-causing bacteria have been detected in paper bills. According to a 2002 study published in the Southern Medical Journal, 94 percent of the tested bills had potentially disease-causing organisms.

Wife turned me onto Bowie’s 1984 Live album. I hate that she’s cooler than me.

I invented these!
During my illustrious Mickey Dee’s All America career. The double filets I made for lunch utilized the Mac bun with probably a gallon of tarter sauce.

I know what you did last night.
This seems like another great way of ridding us of a few lawyers. Can probably use this to detect who sneezed a snot rocket onto your Egg McMuffin. Who’s hungry!

Salsa shooters?
Solo tonight. Back to bachelor dining. Dinner = chips, salsa, and goblet o’ green stuff.
I wonder if the five little things are salsa shooters? I’ve been out of circulation a bit.
