In this time of economic downturn, we're all feeling the pinch. In fact the mouse and I are currently underemployed and have turned to Careerbuilder, Monster, and cruising the CL job ads (yeah, we feel dirty...). But sometimes it's the little things that help us feel better about who and where we are in life.

...little things like a delicious rasher of bacon.

Starting this week we will be seeking out brands of bacon and/or bourbon to review for you. So at the beginning of next week, you will have the new Weekly Bacon Forecast, and, hopefully, midweek there will be a new bacon or bourbon review. I'm leaning toward a review of Nueske's since I always hear such good things about it, but I'm willing to take recommendations from our loyal readers.

In addition, we'll be covering some other topics like our myriad hobbies, as well as bringing in some guest writers. All-in-all, we want to add more than just bacon and bourbon to our little half acre of internet heaven. But don't worry. Bacon and Bourbon will still get top billing here!
