I ended up only using 22 slices, which is about a pound and a quarter of bacon. I chose the low-sodium variety for its health benefits.</DIV>
My trusty skillet was brought out for this event and the cooking began:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.speakeasy.org/img/673A1C42-8C46-4425-B70B-D4010E14893F" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/">
After much cooking and draining, the slices looked like this:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.speakeasy.org/img/E014FEBC-CA14-4AB7-AC62-D800F8C8E532" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/">
Extreme care was taken in the creation of this sandwich, starting with a strong foundation which could bear the load of the delicious bacon.  After consulting with local architects, the sandwich was carefully constructed:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.speakeasy.org/img/C1C57253-EA20-4B64-89BA-47FE01C0CBAC" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/">
Luckily the top stayed on and didn't compromise the structural integrity of The Ultimate Bacon Sandwich:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.speakeasy.org/img/DEFC702E-C96C-4469-9F6A-DC7FC0AE7F1C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/">
The delightful aroma was enough to throw off the auto-focus on my camera:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.speakeasy.org/img/1E4EEE65-40D6-489C-9ADA-2687857C8A2F" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/">
Halfway through, disaster strikes!  There appears to be a breach of the main hull! I feared I was losing her!</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.speakeasy.org/img/DFF92086-6960-4156-9336-9A458CC34A16" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/">
Luckily there was plenty of bread left; the reconstruction efforts quickly began:</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.speakeasy.org/img/4931DCBF-4E53-4AF7-A5B1-BB11448FB874" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.speakeasy.org/~sjmaks/bacon/">
