Now available through Amazon: Bacon Flavored Jelly Beans! Sixty beans come in a tin for $4.98. That works out to ...um, ...er , OK, more than eight cents a bean. So how do they taste? Two reviews are in.

...these taste nothing like bacon. More like ashtray and refried beans.

They do not taste as bad as I thought they would.

Sure to be a best seller!

Pack your sleeping bag and bring some bug spray, because you're going to Bacon Camp. If you're in San Francisco on March 21st, head to 500 3rd Street with a bacon dish of your choosing and get ready to indulge.

For those that like both, here's a good to enjoy them.

Cook three to four slices of bacon, enough to render 1 ounce of fat.
Once the bacon has cooled a bit, pour off one ounce from the pan.
Pour bourbon into a non-porous container.
Strain the bacon fat into the container and infuse for four to six hours at room temperature. Place mixture in freezer until all the fat is solidified.
With a slotted spoon, remove fat and strain mixture back into bottle.
Pour and drink.

Let us know if it's delicious.

One of the cooler presents I got for Christmas was a six month subscription to the Bacon-Of-The-Month Club from my business partner, CC Chapman. It promises hand-picked artisanal bacon, delivered to my door monthly. And as YBNBY is all about the bacon, I thought I'd share my bacon experience with you all.

Today, the first package arrived - 12 oz of Vande Rose farms Applewood Smoked Bacon.

A little yuletide recipe to share with you. There's not much that can be done to improve bacon, except maybe wrapping it around sausage meat and grilling it. Let us know if you test this one out.

On a related note, I received my first Christmas gift of the year, from my buddy CC Chapman, and it's - you better believe it - a six month subscription to the Bacon-Of-The-Month Club. That's right - each month, I'm going to be getting 1lb of artisanal bacon delivered to my door, and I plan to do video reviews of each and every one for YBNBY. So stay tuned for the first installment soon.

This would have been better made of bacon, but really, any sort of dried meat will do. Truly a present both you and your spouse can love, the Beef Jerky Purse, by artist Nancy Wu is the perfect gift this holiday season. It's also helpful on long car trips and while watching sporting events on television.

Bath salts are a popular Christmas gift for the person who has everything. Now you can make them yourself with the classic scent of bacon!

Step 1 Heat up 4 strips of salt pork in a microwave. You could also use bacon, but the salt pork has more fat, giving you more grease for your mixture.

Step 2
Pour 2 cups epsom salt in bowl, then 1 cup borax.

Step 3
Drain fat away from meat and mix with a few drops of liquid smoke. The liquid smoke helps make the scent, it won't smell right without it.

Step 4
Mix the grease/smoke mixture into the salt mixture. Mix thoroughly by hand, or else it will not blend all the way. If there seems to be too much grease, add more borax and salt. If it is too dry, heat up more salt pork and repeat steps 1-4.

Step 5
Enjoy bacon scented baths by adding your salt whenever you take a soak. To store, just put it in a bottle and save it for later.

Well as my new duties in being a YBNBY contributor, I feel it is my job to contribute to the hard hitting journalism that is pervasive on sites like this.  As my first official post, I feel it is imperative to remind those around about the evil that is called Beef Bacon.  Honestly, this should not even have the word bacon attached to it as you will see by the following article.  Be forewarned though that I took a page from Echwood's playbook and included a few shirtless pics (strictly for the ladies to show even a manly man can cook).  So read, disgest, enjoy and discuss (or in some cases disgust).

Miss C isn't the only one with bacon on her mind.

I had this great idea yesterday. YBNBY would create and sell some bacon-scented scratch and sniff T shirts. I think that would be pretty awesome, no? All the references I could find to scratch n sniff bacon referenced a hoax post about a bacon suit, and I could only find one supplier of scratch and sniff t shirts, so I thought I was onto a goldmine.

Then I got an email back from the supplier:

Hello Steve
Sorry, we can reproduce almost everything but a good bacon.
Our minimum for creating Scratch n Sniff T-Shirts is 100.
Thank you

So there you go, another idea foiled. I'm not giving up, but now I'm in search of bacon scent for the scratch n sniff guy. Leads appreciated.

I was also thinking about bacon-scented scratch and sniff thongs. Feels like the perfect item for a night of carnal desire.

A Christmas treat from The Los Angeles Times. Of course, once you see the recipe, it's clear that this is not a martini at all, but apparently plays one in the newspaper. This must be damn tasty. And in the race to post all things bacon, I'm neither first nor second, but that doesn't bother me as much as it does some folks.

Continue reading for the recipe.

You knew it would happen sooner or later. The Holy Church of Bacon has a wiki-style encyclopedia of all things bacon on the web.The canon is the Holy Book of Bacon, which you can read online in its entirety. It starts with the Five Baconic Laws.

* Thou shalt not consider Bacon on the same level as any other food, as it is above all.
* Thou shalt not consume imitation Bacon.
* Thou shalt not stop pursuing Baconlightenment until it is reached.
* Thou shalt not forget to consume Bacon for ten days.
* Thou shalt spread the word of Bacon to all.

Grab a sandwich and waste your workday in the search for Baconlightenment.

For the bacon lover in your life.
Or just for yourself.
There's a range of products you can get this phrase on (shirts, hats, bags, g-strings, etc.)

I'm not so sure about this one. A blog called Ridiculous Food from Upstate New York decided to mash up bacon with Rice Krispies Treats.

You start with a package of bacon.
Cook it so it's crispy and will break easily into pieces.
Crumble bacon into large bowl.
Make rice krispy treats, mixing in bacon.
Cook and Enjoy.

If you try it, let us know how it tastes.

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.
