]]> Comment on Bacon and Rice: The Ultimate Comfort Food by April http://sophiaroe.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/bacon-and-rice/#comment-143 April Fri, 03 Jul 2009 20:04:10 +0000 http://sophiaroe.wordpress.com/?p=738#comment-143 I agree about bacon: It has both conflicting textures and flavors and good memory-inducing qualities. I only recently learned about the technique of cooking bacon in the oven, which is a lifesaver if you live in a home where the smoke detector is close to the kitchen. I think your spinach-tomato-Boursin-bacon-egg sandwich sounds amazing! P.S. One time during college, Dan accidentally ate over three pounds of bacon... his sister was cooking it and kept making him sandwiches, and his little 135-pound body was so hungry. What I would give for that metabolism! I agree about bacon: It has both conflicting textures and flavors and good memory-inducing qualities.

Andy van Dam was my dad's best friend from Swat. Did you know that? Make-up... never got into it. Likely never will. I blame that and my general lack of fruit eating on my mother. So it goes. However, I finally have a haircut that I like and that the Critter can't demolish. Small favors in a large world. Heh… Andy van Dam was my dad’s best friend from Swat. Did you know that?

I've been lucky enough to have one in my life. She once greeted me at the door of my car--after I had just driven 2 hours to visit her--by saying: "You look terrible. Go inside. We're going to eat dinner and you're going to bed early." It was one of the nicest things anyone had ever said to me. I was going through a busy time and it was a relief to know someone cared enough about me to be really, really honest. Without question I went in to her home, ate dinner, and went to bed while the sun was still shining. I'm sure I looked and--more importantly--felt much better in the morning. How about an Irish Aunt?

I think kids are very intuitive and know when they are cared about so deeply--no matter how their parents (who are human) express that love. I'd worry more about the parent sound asleep at 2AM who thinks he or she is perfect. By the way, how many play dates did your mom set up for you? Guess how many my mom set up for me? None. I also watched a lot of t.v. And, you know what, I've turned out just fine. Because, much more than play dates and strict rules about t.v., my parents (who both worked full-time) loved us in a variety of different, every-day ways. You didn't cause your daughter's speech/language needs. But what a lucky little girl to have a mom who cares about her so much. I predict that you will help her turn this little obstacle into a great strength. Trust yourself. Just the fact that you’re up at 2AM thinking about this means that you are a wonderful parent.

That said, if my 17 inch would run the stupid ass PC programs I have to use for work, I'd be working off it instead of the 15 inch I currently use. That and if it was lighter.

For no good reason than that you want it and it makes you feel good. Then enjoy it. Use it only to watch movies and download music. (If you happen to design or write something on it--well, ok.) My uncle used to say--What's the use of working so hard if you don't enjoy life a little? So my suggestion is: Enjoy! I said, ENJOY! And don't look back. Just buy it!
