Another multi-dimensional BFN. From childhood reminiscence, an image synonymous with summer, to a yummy sounding recipe. I’m with Thalia and her “Yay bacon!” Visions of applewood smoked, dry cured thick strips fill my noggin. Finding wax beans may be the only complication for using the recipe…

Our grocery sells bacon "miscuts" from a local smokehouse at a great price. I can't explain why, but their miscuts taste better than their premium packages. Yum!

Hi Inma! Seth wrote this morning about how feelings fuel our narratives. There was something that felt wonderful about those summer trips to my aunt and uncle’s place.

And perhaps I love donuts because on Saturday mornings after my mother died, my father would always go and get us iced bakery treats. It was a tiny little respite from all the heavy feelings that had overtaken our lives.

Thank you for your comment. It gave me pause to think about those special experiences. ❤️❤️❤️
