My Life With Bacon

MY LIFE WITH BACON continues this week, continuing my review of Bacon Freak fare.  This week it's one standard and one 'specialty bacon. BACON IN THE NEWS .  Thred items worthy of mention this week.  The first is that the (in)famous Yankee Candle has a collection called "Man Candles" ... ugh.  "As many candle buffs know, the Man Candles collection launched last year on the theory that a man’s den, basement, or garage could benefit from pleasing scents."
