Probably wouldn't be prudent, I've got over 30 years tied up in the wife already. That and she'd probably get all the bacon in the settlement.

That, and eventually the suspicion that I only loved you for your bacon would destroy us.

That isn't what's shocking. What's shocking, and almost down right criminal, is that he only cooked/ate a quarter pound of it. What's wrong with you man?

You can't make a decent bacon sammich with only a quarter pound of it. Geesh.

It's hot as hell outside and I don't eat nearly as much when it's like this. Been running the tractor and such outside.

I knew I shouldn't have read this thread....

Now I want bacon, and, as per usual, I don't have bacon stored in the fridge.... Because one does not store bacon, one eats bacon.

I most vehemently disagree!
One must have bacon before it can be eaten.
In order to have bacon one must store bacon.
I've got at least 25#-30# of bacon in my freezers. (I had more but I ate it)
As well as sliced ham, 3 full hams and 30#  of sausage.
Not to mention pork chops and pork steaks.

And there are no grocery stores anywhere within a reasonable driving distance from that damn mountain.

A29, you need to invest in a freezer and fill it with meat.  Then lay in a bunch of charcoal and firewood.

Okey-dokely!  I will look the next time I am there and see if Seattle-area Costcos carry it.

My Everett Costco does not carry this brand.  =(

The choices were the Kirkland Signature, Fletcher's Masterpiece dry cured, and Fletcher's Masterpiece peppered bacon.  I bought the Fletcher's dry cured and will give this a try.

In my local grocery store here, they carry Wright's in Applewood smoked. It was quite good. Not the quality of what we got at Costco, but quite good. I allowed my son enough for one sandwich and ate the rest of the package myself.

Agree wif Miz Smif.  Wrights is good.  The best of it is the hickory smoked, the worst is maple cured.  Sam's Club carries it, which is evidence that God loves me.

Wife and I recently found Jones Cherrywood smoked bacon at Publix.

We approve.

Bummer. We all say the Costco by my folks is the "Phantom Costco" because it doesn't carry the same stuff as the other Costcos, plus it never shows up in their monthly magazine where they list all the Costcos. But as long as it carries the delicious, delicious bacon, I'm happy.

On a side note, the bacon in all the breakfast joints (at least the non-chain diners) in Utah and Idaho is of supreme quality. Not a shriveled, dried up piece to be found anywhere. All of it is thick cut and properly cooked.

That was one thing that struck me when we were there in June - all the breakfast places we stopped at had good bacon. Better even than the breakfast joints in the South, where bacon is king.
