I Have My MIL to Thank for Dinner Tonight

And probably my lunch tomorrow since it is oh so good cold too. My MIL got a great deal on bacon that she just couldn't pass up so Matt and I (and Ann and Fred as well I believe) reaped the benefits. So with it being near St. Patty's day cabbage is on sale, guess where my mind immediately went when she offered us the bacon...

That's right, fried cabbage!

Go ahead, get closer. Looks divine, doesn't it?

I assure you it was spectacular and it made me remember good memories I have of my mother. I've been having a lot of that lately. I inherited a lot of craft products from mom and when I went through my craft area recently I kept running across her things. There were things that had her handwriting on it, base coated tole projects, tubes of paint that I can't bring myself to throw away (I really should toss them because they are at least 10 years old and separating/thickening/drying up. etc) and it made me kind of emotional. I will admit, that's been a problem for me recently.

I haven't had any real huge issues emotionally since about the two year mark, but for the past few months I've been feeling like someone ripped off the scab and the wound is fresh again (sorry for the gory imagery on what started off as a food post, it really is the best way I can describe it), and I really have no idea what triggered it. I'll get through it. I just need to give myself some time to work through it all again.

Anyway. Bacon and cabbage - it's a winning combination that everyone must try once in their lives. Bacon really does make everything better, doesn't it?
