Bacon

Do you like bacon? I like bacon. It tastes delicious in breakfast burritos, on baked potatoes, and in my tossed macaroni recipe (one of my favorite meals). 

Shad LOVES bacon. He loves, loves, loves bacon.

But, unfortunately, Shad does not get all of the bacon that he desires, and I will tell you why.

I HATE the fact that my house smells like bacon for at least 24 hours after I've cooked it!!!

I made tossed macaroni last night. After the kids were in bed, I washed the pan that the bacon had been fried in. I loaded the dishwasher with all of the plates that we had used to eat the dish which included bacon. I wiped down the stove and counter with Clorox wipes (orange scent) to make sure all of the bacon grease was gone. Shad took out the garbage that held the paper towels that had absorbed the excess grease from the bacon.  I lit a triple berry candle from Salt City Candles (very powerful, yummy smelling candle) and left it lit for at least 2 hours. 

But, alas, this morning the house still smelled like bacon! I opened up the back door and turned on the ceiling fan (even though my children kept trying to shut the door because they were cold) to exchange the bacon-scented indoor air for some fresh-smelling outdoor air. I lit my candle, again.

It is now 29 hours since I cooked the bacon.

My house still smells like bacon.

I just may have to move!

Have I ever mentioned that I have an incredibly sensitive sense of smell?!
