I am a dismal failure at bringing home the bacon. It seems every brand I've
tried lately has been awful. How bad is it? It's so bad we may have to
start sending me sympathy cards. The most recent pound (that probably wasn't
a pound) was watery and wimpy; slices of the one before that looked like the
lace curtain on granny's front door. Neither price nor brand-name
recognition seem to be guidelines. Polly
