Considering who we're dealing with here, I feel I must add that no bacon was involved at all--yet they're still good!And because yesterday was Easter, I shall share this story: a couple of days ago I was watching some clips from The Vicar of Dibley because sometimes I'm just in the mood for that guy who always says no no no no no no no no yes, and because of that, I had the beginning theme song of the show stuck in my head. It's the choral version of the 23rd psalm, and it was going round and round like a broken record: The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want he maketh me to lie down in green pastures the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want he maketh me to lie down in green pastures, etc. etc., because that was all I could remember. And while I was thinking about that infinitive, "to lie", and whether just "lie" would be incorrect, and about the fact that the music does not reflect the pause you would normally take after a semi-colon, suddenly I remembered what I used to think that song meant: "I do not want the Lord to be my shepherd because he makes me sleep outside." In my defense, growing up in a place where it might well snow on Easter really made that a reasonable concern.

::contemplating how to add bacon to ginger cookies::
Reminds me of the old joke about kids reciting the pledge of allegiance, "... and to the republic for Richard Stands..."
Nice cookies - as gingerbread cookies go, I suspect that they are better without the bacon! But I could be wrong about that.
I love that the 23rd psalm was disconcerting to you because the Lord was going to make you sleep outside. The things kids pick up on that you don't even think about...
