Congratulate the girl for me, and woohoo you survived her college years!

Congrats to her, miss molly! I bet you're one proud mama tonight.

I hope everyone is doing fine. Don't mind me, I'm a little wine drunk.

That's okay, on a day like today, in a year like 2020. Just don't go overboard, A. Be kind to yourself.

Mac's right. We don't need to make life harder, it does a good enough job on its own.

thanks you all for your good wishes
we are all very proud of her 
as for what's next, she's going to breathe for a while, put her resume together and start looking at hotels or hospitals as a starting point

Bacon turns my nieces into little piranhas. Gotta get it while you can.

Personally don't get the fascination with bacon of any sort. It's okay, i enjoy it when we decide to have it, but ... i can certainly live without it.

Bacon.....how to explain?

It's one of those foods that you know is absolutely bad for you. I don't make it very often because of this. But when I do, if both my kids are home, it's two pounds that gets cooked and it will disappear before you can blink.

Bacon must be crispy, on the verge of burnt, but not quite. Limp is not good.

There's just something about the salty, greasiness that is like a mermaid calling sailors to their death.

[rickproehl]

Did someone say Bacon?

Bacon Jelly/Jam

we have tried this and it is good.

 

[Kitt]

And because one is not enough ❤️ ❤️

LOL.. Michael could easily eat two pounds .. here you're lucky if you can buy it in pounds.. or 454 grams. Normally now they sell it in 375 gram packages for like $6.99. The odd time it will be on sale for $2.99. Then we'll buy some, sometimes. But $6.99 for what essentially is fat, it's just not worth it.

i know how to cook it ... cooking is something i have down ... i have a diabetic Husband and my own health to worry about, having HIV means i have to watch what i eat as well.  A bit of bacon is okay, but i use it as more of a flavouring when we do choose to buy some.

We have it about once in a blue moon, so it’s a bit of a treat when we do.
