Bacon

One of the items on Elyse's Santa list was "A Year Supply of Bacon". Now I'm not exactly sure what measures a year supply for Elyse; it would be about five slices for me. I think it's going to be more like five slices of bacon every week for Elyse! She was very excited to open the mystery package from the freezer and discover that Santa had come through with the request and today I finally cooked it for her. Now, you must keep in mind that I have never in my married life cooked bacon (nor have I ever fried a hamburger). I don't care for bacon. I do not like how my house smells when bacon has been cooked in my house. But for my baby girl, I cooked bacon. And she was happy. No, she was ecstatic. I think I may have won Mom of the Year on this one - just for cooking up some pig fat.

Carolyn benefited from the bacon gift and enjoyed her bacon and egg brunch today as well. Thursday has been designated as "bacon for breakfast day" since Daddy-o is home to cook it. And clean up after. And deal with the house smell.
