Szechuan-Style Lo Mein Recipe #159719

This is a recipe in transition. It was made after a conversation with a friend. There is no place that I have been able to find a recipe for Bacon Lo Mein - this was the closest I came on the internet. Originally, I found this on OregonLive.com, Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2005 from Philip Jones, Fort Atkinson, Wis. However, have tweaked it and now it's mine bad or good! Here's to ya'.
