It's a sweet/savory/slightly sour sauce made of bacons & onions. My version had balsamic vinegar, Jameson and Rosemary, though there are several variations. You can buy it premade at gourmet shops and online, but I'm a DIY-er.

I served mine with emmentaler cheese and crunchy crackers. My hostess said she was going to top an omelet with it. I think it would also be great with wilted kale, biscuits, and roast chicken or a nice steak. It was pretty good and may become my specialty, though I think it needs some tweaking.

Sounds delicious. It would really work in a hot chicken wrap... I'm hungry now

Today: a run, Oktoberfest with friends, clean up from the party, read, write, hot bath.

As I look back there were a lot of years of loneliness. Mostly from the moves, some from him, a bit self-inflicted.

Today I am lonely for my H, because I do love him, but there is no other true loneliness in my life. I am very, very blessed. If we end up divorced I will hurt and cry, but I also will be better off than I would have been without my years with him, including this experience.

And if we end up divorced then he is a fool, because not only did I give him bacon jam ;), but I am a solid, high quality, loyal woman who can still love him even while facing the ways he's hurt and betrayed me and our family.

Maybell, you're amazing, and I think you should rechristen this date as a celebration of you and your strength. It sounds like you have wonderful plans for the day, and some time for reflection as well. Reflect, as you do in your message above, on the fact that you are a person who acts out of love, and that is the best we can all hope to achieve. Those who hurt us are acting out of fear, self-interest, and anger. They deserve our compassion and sympathy, even though they are hurting us and destroying their family. They are lost, but we are not. Embrace your strength of character. ((hugs))
