Believe it or not, this was made by someone other than us. They did a great job translating Porterhouse’s meaty exterior and love of education into the personality of the main character, no?

Healthcare AND a rotisserie channel on tv? Oh Canada, how we’ve underestimated you…

Lady Courtney Dorkchop (of the Ottawa Dorkchops) brought this to my attention and, as a result, has been named April’s Canadian of the Month!

This makes me think that Meat Truck needs to distribute a sound machine to all Meat Truck members so we can all fall asleep to the sweet, sweet sizzle of roasting meat.

BACON FRAGRANCES

The year was 1920 and quite by accident John Fargginay, a Parisian butcher discovered the ability to dramatically elevate his customers’ mood with a secret recipe blending 11 popular pure essential oils with the essence of…bacon. As the story goes, film stars & heads of state would frequent his shop to procure the magical elixir. With a wink of the eye and the secret code, “fargginay,” customers would be slipped a discreet pouch containing the formula said to trigger pleasant memories. After a massive fire on July 4, 1924, the business was lost and so was the formula…Until now. Ladies & gentlemen, behold, bacōn fragrances, by fargginay. The time has come to uncover a new level of awesome.

Okay, I know we’ve been a bit crochet-heavy lately, and yes, it’s completely my doing.  To make it up to you, I found the most random pillow EVER.  Friends, behold the Atari Pit Fall pillow care of Cribcandy:

For our last installment of Crocheted Meat Monday, I’ve got something special for you guys.  Special and delicious.

A choinkwich!  Chocolate soft serve, chocolate cookies and caramelized bacon – yum!

Okay, it looks like it might be a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but I’m making the rules, so I’m making a meat-free sandwich exception.

Happiest.  Lunch.  Ever.

Porterhouse found these in France. They know how to do knock off pringles in France. Oh, you noticed my gloves? Why yes, I am a motorcycle riding assassin. Great guess.

If you don’t start cleaning your teeth with this, then well, I guess Al Qaeda wins, don’t they.

Once again, crafty carnivores have impressed me with their meat-iculous attention to detail.  Who knew crocheting could make me hungry?  Bravo.  With so many crocheted meats out there, I couldn’t choose just one, so every Monday from February through March will feature new and delicious crocheted meats!

Merry Christmas!

Love,

Meat Truck!
