You ain't afraid of a little bacon are ya?

Yea, that isn't right. I only use about a 1/4 pound with 90% of the fat trimmed off. I don't know why I typed that.

Don't let him intimidate you, wuss. Say a pound a bacon, and mean it. (BTW- only the girly men trim all the fat off it)

The very last thing I would recommend is coming to my house post-election. It looks like a 1950's suburban bunker. You remember that don't you? Weren't you in high school?
