I used red curry paste to spice up the fried rice, and the paste performed the required task well. With regards to cooking and eating today, this was the highlight, the most exciting thing that happened all day!

There are two things you can do if you want to smell like bacon – cook bacon, and the other obvious way is by purchasing a bottle of bacōn, the bacon perfume. This is not a belated April fools joke, it actually does exist. And at US$36 per bottle it does not come cheap. 

The concept is actually not that ridiculous. Some chefs do use smells to invoke certain senses. The smell of bacon will certainly affect our senses, and I am guessing in a positive way for most people. While the concept makes sense I don't see myself going to business meetings in the foreseeable future smelling of bacon!

One note of caution. If this is presented knowingly or unknowingly to vegetarians, animal activists and people from certain religious backgrounds, it may have undesirable side effects. Bacōn needs to be used with care.
