It's just crazy enough to work

Today is bacon-making day. Calloo Callay.

Knocked off another calendar year of grilling at least once per calendar month. Our streak goes back to at least December 2007. It was very difficult this year, as December came in with a frigid high of 79 degrees here in Inglewood.
