Here's what Wikipedia says: an American name for two different pork products: back bacon and a smoked ham. <br /><br />It doesn't taste like ham to me. I also like it on pizza with pineapple. <br /><br />Crispy bacon is great except in chocolate - *shaking head nononono*Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-14410495597057522992014-10-25T19:17:56.960-03:002014-10-25T19:17:56.960-03:00Hi LaVerne *waves* You must be exhausted - sounds ...Hi LaVerne *waves* You must be exhausted - sounds like a lot of fun though!<br /><br />Vicki, what a great excerpty - has me drooling (in more ways than one) I have a question.

Kids could write, talk, sit quietly, and knew how to use scissors, except for my son who cut his own hair. <br /><br />I probably wrote a cop because most mysteries I read have cops as the investigators. <br /><br />Maybe another Allan & Hattie excerpt?<br /><br />Eyes fastened on me, A. Wellborn swallowed deeply. One handed, he palmed his cell phone. “I need to make some calls.” <br />“Who to?” <br />“First, to the friend who has a friend to ask him to locate the bumper again. Second, I’m ordering another pizza. You want some?” He gave me a questioning squint. <br />Staring at the darkening sky, I tapped my toes, deciding. The Funsisters and I have rules about food and guys: <br />Rule One: Do not turn down food when unemployed. <br />Rule Two: Do not turn down food when unemployed and invited to share by a hunky, thoughtful man. <br />“This isn’t a life or death answer, just say yes or no.” <br />He sure sounded impatient. What the hell. I won't have to scrounge for something to eat, and A. Wellborn had proven to be interesting, a nice note to end a complicated day. “Yes.” <br /> He punched a number on his cell. “What do you like on yours?”<br />How considerate. “I like pepperoni, but my fav is Canadian bacon and crispy bacon.” <br />He frowned. “Aren’t you concerned about cholesterol?”<br />“Not today.” <br /><br />Vicki Batman, sassy writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13846704675542248648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-5137907372170182842014-10-25T18:49:33.504-03:002014-10-25T18:49:33.504-03:00Hi, Liz! and I'm honored you are here.

I've had to host another party, but this was for my daughter who just turned six. Boy, oh, boy are children exhausting! Now to let my hair down with adults - yay!! :) I'm loving getting to know Allan and Hattie. And might I just say - I love the hidden depths to your Allan. What a hunk! And I'll let you in on a little secret (but probably isn't really a secret to many) - I ADORE cops.
