First, mix all the glaze ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.  Second, heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat for about 5 minutes.  Allow this to cool while you prepare the remaining ingredients.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Next, mix together the egg, thyme, salt, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire, Tobasco and yogurt in a large mixing bowl.  Add the meat, sautéed onion and garlic, saltines and parsley to the bowl and use your hands to mix thoroughly.  The mixture should not stick to the bowl.  If it does, add more yogurt, a little at a time, until the mix no longer sticks.  Use your hand to shape the meat into a 5"x9" loaf.  Place the loaf in a shallow baking dish.  Coat the loaf with the glaze.  Finally, wrap the bacon around the loaf.  Each piece should slightly overlap so that the final product looks like an armadillo.  Bake for 1 hour.  Simmer the extra glaze over low heat until it thickens slightly and serve on the side.
