Got my Bacon Salt this afternoon. Mrs. HSM and I were on our way to a chinese buffet, and I must say there is very little (only shrimp delight - because of the sauce) that Bacon Salt did not improve. The best was Bacony cantaloupe, closely followed by bacony watermelon. Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! HSM ---

A short while ago, I received an e-mail from the US Postal Service saying that a 3-pack of Bacon Salt was delivered to my home this afternoon! _[Well, not their **exact** words, but still…]_. So, when I get home, I will be able to wallow in bacony goodness! Unless my neighbors stole it. ☹ [QUOTE=Asimovian] Does anyone have devilsknew’s address? I’m thinking I know the perfect Christmas present… [/QUOTE] I have to admit, on reading this I toyed around with the idea of denouncing Bacon Salt in public _[“I hate it **twice** as much as **devilsknew** , so send me **two** three-packs! Now!”]_, but decided it wasn’t worth messing with Bacon Karma. Besides, my order has arrived now – apparently. ---

Just to annoy the shit out of you smiley-haters (you know who you are 😉 ), I must report that earlier today, CasaRuby accepted their delivery of that manna of the Gods, aka the BaconSalt 3-pack. 🙂 Life was good 🆒 until hub came home and told me that he was helping a friend of ours fix the air conditioning in their minivan (it’s like a million degrees here) ☹ . As much as I wanted to try said BaconSalt on real food 😛 , I had to defer to eating out tonight :mad: because cooking was simply not an option at 9pm. A wise sage once told me… Tomorrow is another day… so for today, I am _really_ only enjoying BaconSalt by Proxy. :eek: ---

[QUOTE=silenus] Every new religion is faced with the problems of Orthodoxy and Schisms. How we deal with these will affect our Faith for many years to come.

Ok, here’s one for ya. Bacon Salt will never force me to endure that horrid, awful, faith-questioning experience that is the dreaded rancid bite of bacon. Nothing is more foul than having your mouth pre-watered and anticipating that delicious bacony goodness, only to have it violated by that god-awful taste. ---

You are mentally ill. A bad bacony bite? I think better. ---

While trying to find a cite in support of the teeming millions despising rancid bacon as much as I do, I found an interesting page that may be quite relevant to some of those reading this thread. [Suggestions on how to “interpret” your bacon-filled dreams.](http://en.mimi.hu/dreams/bacon.html) ---

Besides, my Bacon Salt recipe involves candied bacon. A thouroughly timeless preservation technique. Smoked and candied… what rancidity do you speak of? ---

Alright, I didn’t want to have to do this **devilsknew** but you leave me no choice. ::: Reaches for large can labeled “Whoop Ass” and unscrews the lid::: Bacon Salt is kosher and vegetarian. Can you (truthfully) make the same claim? 😃 ::: Replaces the lid on the can of “Whoop Ass” and heads of to the kitchen for some eggs with bacon salt. ::: ---

Recieved ours yesterday - the smell alone is fantastic, put that in your glade freshners! Anyway, generously used on our Burgers - makes a nice tasty addition… and a secret for the family barbacue that will once and for all cement me atop the pedestal of the GrillKing. Thanks for alerting us to this, oh Lord of the Bacon Salt. ---
