I've been wondering about those unrefrigerated packages of bacon you see in
the stores now, mine has Boar's Head and Oscar Mayer. The Boar's Head runs
about $5.69 for a package...

Might come in handy if ya don't wanna mess with frying bacon. I'm thinking
of getting some for my elderly mom, she won't have to hassle with the
cooking. She has a source of fresh tomatoes, so maybe it'd be good for her
BLT's...
