The lack of sunlight can seriously change a persons personality. During winter in Sweden and Norway, on our shortest days, the sun comes up around 9 am and goes down around 3 pm, so please bare with us... :D

On the other hand, during summer, the sun never sets :)

I know most of you know this already, but just to be clear: my family hasn't been in Norway for over 100 years. I live in Iowa, in the USA.

But it's still been a long, dark winter. Thank God it's finally Spring! Only a few more blizzards and warm weather will begin!  ::)

Sounds like your internal clock is in need of an adjustment.  ;)

If you've been driving while you've been in Mexico, be extra careful your first day back in Australia.  It always took me a day or so to get used to driving in the U.S. when I'd come back from Japan.  I kept unconciously trying to turn onto the wrong side of the road when turning at an intersection.  ;)

Supper tonite: Peanut Butter & Bacon Sammich! :P



I will, of course, use double the amount of bacon shown in the photo.

Turns out the Hormel Microwave Ready pre-cooked bacon I used prepackages its contents as four strips per pack. Since eight strips seemed a bit like overkill for a PB&bacon sammich, I opted for only four. That was plenty.



This is the first time I've used this kind of bacon. I think I'll go back to regular bacon. I had to microwave it twice as long as the package said* - 4 minutes instead of 2 - since I have a wimpy 15-year-old microwave. My microwave will cook regular bacon in 7 minutes, as will my stovetop, and regular bacon doesn't turn  out all rubbery and weird.

Still, it tasted like bacon, so that's something.

*Edit: Hmmmm... the package says '2 to 2 1/2 minutes', but the website says 'just three minutes', then contradicts itself later on the same page with '3-4 minutes'. These guys need to get together on their product claims.

Yeah, but Mark - have you actually tried American bacon ? It's pretty vile stuff - and even their processed ham is all wrong, tastes way too sweet.

Maybe microwaving it would improve it.......

I agree on the bacon.  On the other hand, having eaten ham in other countries (not in the Middle East, though), I'd have to disagree on the "it's too sweet" part.  It all depends on whose ham.  We had a great ham on Easter Sunday!
