Agree 1000000%. I got turned me on to the Niman Ranch bacon at Trader Joe's a few months ago. Beats the crap out of all the other bacon we've ever cycled through here at the house. No going back now. This stuff is great.

Ha, i do like the booze, but i don't drink that much, or at least not nearly as much as say a year ago. Other than a glass of wine with dinner a few nights a week I maybe drink once or twice a week and thats pushing it.

You guys enjoy your store bought bacon....we get pigs raised then slaughtered every year...ever since I had "real" pork, I never went back....

Niman Ranch is a great source of swine for those not raising their own. Their pork chops are bomb too.

I believe nitrates have been linked to miscarriages.

pregnant ladies are told to stay well away from processed meats and cold cuts.

damn...but SLim Jims are pretty much godlike.

That's more than I drink these days. Isn't it crazy what getting older can do to you?
