B4d> I'm stunned at the amount of bacon you go through!   About 15 
B4d> packages in March and thru the second of April so far.   Does 
B4d> your family all have bacon every day?   ...That would explain 
B4d> it, actually.

Hahahahaha, Burt, you just have to stop taking stuff at face value.
Now, it is true that we did go through the packages of Wild Boar and
Duck bacon over the weekend, but each of those were 8 ounces and 
therefore the two of them equaled one normal package.

But beyond that, no, we don't have bacon every day.  Many of those
packages were photographed while I was strolling through the super-
market, and then later cropped and edited to feature just the label.
Oh, I've tried most brands over the years, but we haven't actually
eaten 15 pounds of bacon over the past month.  I couldn't afford 
that anyway.  I only actually buy bacon if it's $2.00 a pound or
less, which means all those Oscar Mayers and Hormels stay on the 
shelf and the Guaranteed Value and Carolina Smokehouse stuff might
come home. 

Every time I go to the supermarket, I try to inconspicuously snap
some bacon pics.  It's not always easy.  You should see some of the
looks I get from other customers, not to mention the store 
employees. [g]

B4d> I'm not being condemnatory, I just never stopped to think 
B4d> how much bacon someone else may use.   In our case it's a 
B4d> minuscule two slices each for us on Sunday.  

Well, you must also remember that none of us have any problems with
our cholesterol or sodium levels, so bacon isn't off limits or
restricted for us.

We actually use about one pound of bacon a week, primarily on
weekends when we are able to have a leisurely breakfast at home
to start the day.

During the summer when my tomato vines are producing, however,
we go through more than that, because we eat BLTs for supper a
time or two a week.

B4d>  I guess mostly I'm just wondering if you buy bacon for your 
B4d> relatives and sample it just for your blog, or... or something.  
B4d> [confused chuckle]

Nope.  Like I said, I take the pictures in the supermarket.  Most
of that bacon never comes home with me.

It's an "art project."  I kid you not.  I've been thinking about
doing something like this for a long time.

B4d> I guess I'll post this despite my second thoughts.

I'm glad you did. You go right ahead and ask me stuff anytime. =)
