[jvlgato]

Hmmm ... that Baconnaise and Bacon candy look pretty good!

[Grahame]

You realise that cube has almost everything bacon related, except ...

Actual Real Bacon!

Does it qualify as a bacon-tease?

Dates?

[cutestory]

"Good dates."

I'm paraphrasing here. And that shit is Truth.

[Dusty Chalk]

I like my dates wrapped in bacon, but I don't think that's what they mean.

I was tempted in Costco ...

But foolishly resisted. I can be weak later for only $11.99 for the good stuff.

The other weekend I made DOUBLE Bacon Vodka Sauce.

I put freshly fried bacon in it but also used what little I had left of my Bakon vodka in the sauce too. It tasted as good as it sounds.
