My sister, Bailey, and I had pigs growing up on the farm. Of course, when you're 3- and 5-years-old, they're considered pets, not groceries. Beav wasn't around the day the pigs left and dad explained to me that when they came back, they'd be ham and bacon in our freezer. I accepted this graciously and didn't think anything of it until at supper one night a few weeks later. Mom and dad sat a pork chop down in front of each of us and I turned to my sweet, innocent baby sis and said, "Do you spose this is Gordy or Babe we're eating?"

To this day, she still won't eat steak, pork chops, or any meat from a 4-legged animal with a bone in it (or LOOKS like it COULD'VE had a bone in it at some point...)

She does like burgers and bacon, though! AND, beings our parents and siblings went to Disney World and left us behind, I decided to make these Jucy Lucy (also known as inside-out) burgers for her when she came home this weekend. I stuffed the patties with crumbled bacon and shredded cheese, then just prepared 'em like one would a normal burger.



YUMMAGE.

The only thing that could've made these burgers better? If they were on one of mom's homemade buns. Seriously, I need to get confident in making buns on my own STAT.

So, after supper, we went to a wedding dance in town, where I got to see these lovely people:



MINI CLASS REUNION.

And, today, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for a few rounds of whist:

Such a good weekend with my sis -- wish I had a pic of us to include!

And, one more thing...Saturday marked the date of 21 days til my 21st! WHOOP WHOOP!

Love,
