Some Things Are Just Worth It

---

This old gal…

Remembers fondly…those college days…of homemade buttermilk pancakes…lived with Myrna’s Girl a bit…in the half of an upstairs of a rickety old house…the set up was weird…the bathroom out in the hall…but it was cozy…and perfect for two college gals…

Remember one evening…Myrna’s Girl…whipping up her mother’s homemade buttermilk pancakes…and with that…fried up some bacon…a pound…of bacon…to be shared…between…the two of us…college me stood shocked…watching slice after slice enter the fry pan…for in the house of growing up me…when bacon was served…each person…got two pieces…only…two pieces…

Kind of embarrassing to admit…it never dawned on bacon loving me…that one could serve…and eat…three…four…heck…half a pound of that deliciousness…if one wanted…and so it was…college me…enjoying the delights of those scrumptious homemade pancakes…while pigging out…on all the bacon…she wanted…

Of which…of course…her cholesterol would celebrate one day…by raising the roof…and sending her…to a cardiologist…but it was worth it…my friends…it was worth it…indeed…

And this old gal bets Myrna’s Girl…would agree…
