Oh......speaking of which.......

No clue WHY this crossed my mind.......but as I lay in bed and solved all my money problems, health problems, kids' money problems, and all other problems that might exist, I thought of this.............................................. ...................... Why not get the big piece of belly meat that the bacon is sliced off of.........and before it's sliced, smoke that????

I mean, I've seen "standing rib roasts" and all that.........and ribeye steaks BEFORE they wuz cut up.........but never bacon. I don't know of anyone who has tried it. But, surely it'd be good, wouldn't it???
