I will not burn the bacon. I will not burn the bacon.

Guess who burned the bacon. This is tragic not only because of the $9/pound price, but also because there is no bacon to be had in the city, perhaps country. Upon the outbreak of swine flu they threw out all the non-frozen pork products. The stores have reopened with virtually no products to sell... and absolutely no American bacon.

So I'm down to my last pound I keep in the freezer.

Worth its weight in gold. Almost.
