Happy Bacon Day, Capital Region!

It's not just about food, you guys. It's about things made out of food as well. But okay, really it's about food.

Emily Armstrong – local artist, webcomic author, and handmade advocate currently residing in Troy – has declared that today, December 30th, is Bacon Day.

There are people that will tell you there is already an unofficial observance of something called “International BAcon Day” that occurs on the Saturday before Labor Day. Those people are liars who have taken their war against Christmas one step further and launched an assault on yet another installment of our holiday season. But, like the Nazis, this war they’ve waged on two fronts will be their undoing.

Where was I? Oh, yes. Bacon Day. It’s today!

Last year, Emily posted this helpful video to explain the finer points of Bacon Day – what it is, how it’s observed, and even how to make your own! Check it. Or should I say BACON it!

In addition to her website Someday I Won’t Suck, you can wish Emily a Happy Bacon Day on Twitter (@ChateauOfADoubt).

Bonus: the Beggin’ Strips commercial. This holiday is super inclusive.
