Clock + bacon = pig clock

Apparently this ingenious people-waking device by Matty Sallin, Daniel Bartolini, Hsiao-huh Hsu has been around for a little while but it was only recently I came across this.

"This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you're Jewish. "

To be non-discriminatory, there must be lots of other things you can put in that shoebox sized alarm clock; a slice of salami pizza, ham and cheese on bread, pork chop, the list goes on.

There are plenty of other things floating around if you just can't enough of bacon. I'm not sure about Diet Coke with bacon though. I hate anything diet.

Drinks anyone?

The only thing that dragged me out of blog hibernation was this absolutely gorgeous set of recipe cards I stumbled across while foraging at good ol Camberwell market. Called "the cocktail deck" it features 50 beautifully illustrated cocktail recipe cards by the very talented Kat Macleod. I was originally going to do something with them but they're just too gorgeous to destroy.

mmMmmm...I'm in love.
