Yesterday i had breakfast for dinner after a serious leg workout. 4 eggs over easy, 4 1/8 inch thick sliced double smoked bacon cooked with a little tomato and a caprese salad. Not bad for a 10 minute meal ;)

I agree, surprisingly the butcher bacon is about the same price per lb as the store bought. A friend started raising his own pigs, among other animals, for meat and we've had the luxury of being the recipient of a few lbs of the home raised bacon. It even blows the butcher bacon away. After having good bacon, its difficult to go back to the supermarket variety.
I think next year I'm gonna have to bite the bullet and raise a couple of pigs.
