Tonight I had grand plans to take the family out to dinner at IHOP. Today is "National Pancake Day" and therefore IHOP was offering a plate of three pancakes to each customer for free. OK, so fast-forward...we went to TWO different IHOPs only to find them completely packed and even overflowing with people into the parking lot waiting for some FREE pancakes.
*sigh* Never fear, I had a back-up plan...Cracker Barrell. Chad is not a huge fan of "Breakfast for Dinner" but Lauren and I could eat breakfast for ALL meals. My mind and tummy were all set for breakfast, so Cracker Barrell was a good plan.
Lauren and I each ordered pancakes. Lauren also got a side order of bacon. Anyone who has spent ANY time with Lauren knows that this kid would give up a lot in her life before she'd EVER consider giving up bacon. She's a lot like those dogs in the commercial for "Beggin' Strips"

Tonight at supper, the waiter came to the table and asked if he could take Lauren's bacon plate. We all looked at him like he was insane. Couldn't he SEE it still had 3/4 of the slice left??? Chad said, "We would NEVER take bacon away from this kid."
After the waiter left, we were talking to Lauren about bacon and about how much she LOVES bacon.
She sat and gnawed on her bacon slice for a bit and then...
L: Dad? Not everyone likes bacon.
C: Yeah...
L: That's kinda sad isn't it?
Out of the mouth of our babe. Yes Lauren, believe it or not, not everyone loves bacon. And yes, that is kinda sad.

Aw, yes, here too...there's days where the kids come running down the stairs screaming "I smell bacon" when we do bfast dinners. Love it! I miss my sweet Molly and Lauren!
Another reason Lauren and Stas should be together. In this house we recognize bacon for the "food of the gods" property it possesses.
