Steps:

1. Cook pasta according to package directions, drain, rinse and cool.
2. Toss the stir-ins with the cooled pasta.
3. Mix dressing ingredients together in a small dish. Stir well.
4. Pour dressing over pasta mixture, toss to coat well, cover and chill at least two hours, best if longer.
5. Just before serving, stir in your crumbled bacon. Toss to coat.
6. Serve with the 'B' and 'T' with the 'L' and maybe some extra 'T' wedges.
