(Erik is in the kitchen, I am in the family room)
Erik, incredulous: What is this?!
Karen: Bacon-flavored jelly beans. Trish got them for me in San Diego. They don’t actually taste like bacon. (It’s true – the taste is pure smoke followed by the taste of an original flavor Sucrets. Actually, the whole thing tastes like a menthol cigarette. How anyone thought that tasted like bacon is beyond me.)
Erik: This is ridiculous!
Karen: I know, it’s just like a joke gift.
Erik: No, I mean your thing with bacon. Our friends are starting to give you bacon gag gifts! This has got to stop!
Karen: Ok…
Erik: I mean it. I don’t want you to be known as the Bacon Lady!
Karen: You mean, you don’t want to be known as Mr. Bacon Lady.
Erik: EXACTLY. It’s just silly! You need to lay off the bacon!
Karen: OK.
(Please note that I had already decided to take a “bacon break” the week before, because I’m getting a fat butt.)
(And because my new obsession is NUTELLA!)

Note to self:
Step ONE: find (or simulate) bacon-flavored Nutella.
Step TWO: send to The Bacon Lady.
And by posting this, you have now guaranteed that you will be the Bacon Lady. Jiminy Christmas.
Erik just said that he refuses to be Mr. Bacon Lady. Which means Stanley is now Mr. Bacon Lady.
What exactly is Nutella? I’ve never tasted it.
Shaffer, Nutella is God’s gift to the tongue. It’s a chocolate-hazelnut spread (found at the grocery store in the peanut butter aisle) and it tastes like awesome.
now remember, Mrs Hoech gave up Nutella for Lent. is nutella featured at our next NBC meeting?
I’m buying you a case of Baconnaise.
