Not quite sure how this happened
So, this morning I thought it would be nice to make some bacon for breakfast, and I looked in the refrigerator for the package of turkey bacon* I knew I bought last week, and it wasn't there.
I know it had been there, and I seriously doubt that I am a "sleepeater" who can fry up and consume an entire package of bacon without waking up or leaving a clue-filled mess behind. So what happened?
I hope that the bacon just fell into a wormhole or a spacio-temporal anomaly or otherwise slipped the surly bonds of earth in some science-fictiony fashion. Because I suspect the only thing worse than losing a pound of bacon is finding a pound of bacon.
*I used to be dubious about turkey bacon, but despite its propensity to escape, I heartily recommend it. It's not the same as pork bacon, but if you're nein mit das Schwein, for health or humanitarian or other reasons, turkey bacon is awfully tasty. Makes a nice addition to a good pot of rice and beans, too--the recipe for which will be forthcoming!
