Turbaconducken
turbaconducken.jpg
Last year I posted a roundup called Manly Ways to Prepare Turkey. At the time, I predicted that someone would combine two or more of those to produce the Thanksgiving recipe for 2008. I was right. Behold, the Turbaconducken. It's a turducken wrapped in bacon. Bacon Today has the step-by-step recipe with pictures.

Candy Wrapped Bacon with Whipped Cream
candied-bac.jpg Thanksgiving is around the corner and if case you're looking for perfect appetizer or side dish to your bacon wrapped turkey, this is it.

Candied Bacon with Whipped Cream.

To make it at home, fry a pound of bacon until crisp.
Drain and cool.
In a clean skillet, melt one cup sugar and three tablespoons honey in two tablespoons water; cook on medium-high until bubbles subside and syrup turns light amber.

Turn heat to very low and add bacon, turning strips with tongs.
Place strips on oiled baking sheet or parchment paper until cool, then serve with fresh whipped cream.
Or just store bought Cool Whip.

Bacon iPhone Case

It's a thing of beauty when two of your loves come together. (Thanks to David for sending this in).

(Are there any publishers out there who want to work with YBNBY on a "For The Love Of Bacon" book?)

Bacon as DruplBacon

Okay so this is a bit of a stretch but I happened upon it so I'd thought I'd share this bacon creation.

Directions: Just form a Druplicon-like shape with some tin foil, wrap bacon around it, stick it in the oven, then cut out the holes with a pair of kitchen scissors.

For those that did 't know, like me, Drupal.org is an open source content management platform.

Bacon Bits

After an exhausting livebloggiing session last week, I took a mini-vacation from posting. The consequence is a deluge of Bacon-related stories to bring you, so without further ado:

Just in time for Christmas come bacon ornaments. Although hanging the real thing on the tree may provide a wonderful scent of pine tree and pork. (Thanks, Cindy)

It's not bacon, it's not mayonnaise, it's baconnaise! Making a BLT just became one step easier. (Thanks, Alan)

Bacon vs. Fries

Bacon defeated Fries last night in Colorado's 14th senate district. And that is how it should be.

Vote Donuts and Bacon '08

I've been given permission from high above to post this on the main page.
And I'm not doing so for political purposes.
It's up because the entire Yesbutnobutyes community loves bacon and donuts.

Secondly, we must applaud and recognize the creativity involved.

Indeed this is a taste both sides of the aisle can believe in. Support. And vote for.

Where's the Beef? By Bigus Dickus

beefbacon.jpg

I received this report from regular commenter Bigus Dickus, which I'm posting here in it's entirety - take it away BD...

Well folks, with baited breath, I’m sure you have been waiting for the report regarding my beef bacon experience. As a member of the Loyal 77™, I will attempt to convey the entire experience in words (along with a few pictures). Here we go:

The Bacon Gallery


2677881328_bd9d8215a0_o.jpg

The Bacon Label Gallery shows one mans dogged efforts to catalog the art form of bacon packaging. Uncluttered by recipes, buying or taste details, this is bacon porn at it's purest. Page after page of images of bacon labels from around the country, whether it be flat pack, vacuum formed or - gasp - canned..

And yes, Beef Bacon is in there too.

Beef Bacon

image001.jpg

I was alerted to the existence of Beef Bacon by regular commenter Bigus Dickus. who tells me:

Amazingly it smells like bacon when cooking and is salty like bacon but has a texture of beef and thus not as chewy as pork bacon. They said you can find it in the bacon area of the cold foods

I'd seen Turkey Bacon in my local store (which I pretty much ruled out as a terrible idea) but - Beef Bacon? That's a hard one. For the purist, bacon is bacon, and the only choice should come down to which cut, and how it's smoked. Anything other than pork seems wrong. But.... you know, beef is kind of the other pork, the dark pork. bacon and beef go together, whether its deep fried bacon at Peter Luger's as an appetizer, or good old bacon on my cheeseburger, or bacon wrapped filets or.. well, you get the picture.

I've been unable to find anywhere locally that sells it, and nowhere online either. There's a review here, but otherwise, I'm keen to find out how it tastes. Beef-bacon wrapped filet sounds like it could be worth exploring!

Uh-huh folks, October is National Pork Month. So as far as I'm concerned, all those other monikers can shove it.

• Easy Bacon Mac-n-Cheese.

Rigatoni with bacon, onion and tomato

• And between meals snack on Bacon Chex Mix.


Happy Heart Attacks!

Elaborate Bacon

Don't give me that everyday simple bacon! I want elaborate bacon! The kind that leaves peace in the heart and fragrance in the mouth!

Although there are those who say I already have fragrance in the mouth...

Home-made bacon

15-refried-pork.jpg

This link was buried in our comments, but I thought it warranted a full feature. Over on The Champagne of Blogs, they're makin' bacon. Not just throwing it in a skillet, but actually sourcing pork bellies and MAKING bacon. Wow.

The blog is part of BS Brewing, a "homebrewing and extreme food collective" from Portland, OR , which is something we here at YBNBY can definitely throw our weight behind.

404 Error

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.

Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 5]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.

If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.

Have fun.
