Another Bacon Meltdown!

Before we left for our trip on Saturday, Don was making the kids breakfast and Pickle had another freak-out as the bacon preparation was not fast enough for her liking. She is showing her true drama queen colors in this video as she turns on the tears in an attempt to speed up the bacon cooking.

At one point, she uses Meow-Meow as a pawn in her porky game. Enjoy!

Pickle's Bacon Meltdown

Starring: Pickle

With guest appearances by: Meow-Meow, Petey and Gooser.




Don ended up microwaving some emergency bacon because the griddle cooking just wasn't working for Pickle.

A happy ending!!

Good News For Pickle!

Well, the oldest person in the world, Gertrude Baines, age 114 (can you imagine!?) attributes her longevity in part to "an occasional piece of crispy bacon." She has been quoted as saying that her favorite hobbies are "eating bacon and watching Jerry Springer."

She doesn't look a day over 80! And I love her Little Edie-style headgear!

So this is very good news for Pickle who would eat bacon 24/7 if I let her. Maybe if Pickle continues with her bacon-love in moderation, she might have a shot at the Guinness Book some day!?!

More From the Bacon Addict and a Fun Game!

Well, I think I've kicked Pickle's bacon addiction up a notch! I made the mistake of buying this:That's right--bacon AND candy! Poor Pickle didn't have a chance! Has anyone tried this? This is actually the second time I bought this candy bar--I really like it (and obviously Pickle does) but Don thinks it's gross and practically spit it out when he tried it. The boys think it's "ok" but didn't seem overly thrilled. Maybe it's a girl thing?

Here's a couple pics of Pickle and her new treat:

In a happy bacon-chocolate stupor while the dog lurks pathetically in the background.
I didn't think bacon could get any better--but it has! Oh it has!

In this next pic it looks like she can't quite wrap her mind around the concept.

It looks like candy, but it tastes like bacon...am I dreaming?

Check out the chocolate-covered lips:NOBODY touches my bacon candy!

And now onto the fun game! My new blogfriend, Kathy, from Kathalog has a fun challenge on her blog called the Thingamajig Challenge. She says to search around your house in closets, garage--wherever--and try to come up with some interesting items--ones that people might not know what they are or what they're used for. If you want to play, post pics of your item on your blog and link back to her.

I was happy to do this and came up with some things--but nothing too "out there." Do you recognize these items and know what they're for?

Anatomy of a Bacon Breakdown

Pickle had another bacon-induced meltdown this morning. We told her there would be no bacon for breakfast today:

What are you saying? I hear the words you are speaking but I can't believe what you're telling me.

No. NO!! It can't be true!!!

Noooooooo! Ohmygodnooooooooo! No! No! No!

Then I instructed Don to please microwave her some bacon (gross, I know--but she was seriously in withdrawal).

"We're losing her!" I shouted. "We need that bacon, STAT!!"

Sweet, sweet relief!

Come to Momma.

Why thank you!

And all is right with the world again.

She's Definitely NOT A Vegetarian!

Apparently my toddler likes bacon...a lot! In fact, I think it's safe to say she's addicted to bacon.

I came downstairs Sunday morning to my husband frying some bacon and my daughter having a bacon-induced meltdown. The girl wanted bacon and she wanted it NOW!!!

Luckily, one of my kids had their camera handy and took a short video of her rampage. (Sorry--can't embed video properly--here's a link).

You can hear her pleading for "bacon" then chanting "me! me! me!" in case there was any confusion about who said bacon was for. But at least she says "thank you" when she finally gets her fix.

Oh, and the Charmin in the background--please ignore that! Nothing says "class" like a big ol' pack of toilet paper in the kitchen--but that's how we roll!

Toward the end of the vid, you can hear Don screaming "Don't let the dogs get it!" I thought they were the #1 bacon fanatics in the house--but I was so wrong! Pickle fought them off like a warrior. We put the dogs outside and Pickle looked at them as they stared pathetically through the glass door and shook her head at them saying "Noooooo" while she ate her precious bacon. She's so cruel!

Here are a couple of funny pics where you can see the dogs in the background just staring helplessly at the bacon:





I call this next picture "Bacon High":



Is there a 12-step program out there for bacon-addicted toddlers?
