Forgive my lack of bacon
I am home for the holidays, and while I did consider using bacon while crafting my lunch yesterday (grilled cheese sandwich w/brie and tomato), I was thwarted by something completely unexpected.
I did open the fridge and spot a package of bacon in the drawer. However, when I went to remove it, that was as far as my explorations extended. You see, my parents are trying to eat healthy -- certainly a laudable, if bacon-unfriendly goal -- and I discovered to my shock that they have been stocking turkey bacon. Or, in other words, slices of turkey that appear to be vaguely bacon shaped.
I may yet do something with these strange meats -- even if it's just a taste test, after which I will of course report back.

Shocking!
Don't they know that pork is "the other white meat"? Or... wait! According to the aforementionned Jewish Mother, bacon is not pork... which brings about an interesting philosophical conundrum to ponder on holidays...
And thinking of it... Your answer to our chemist friend was right: one must always carry bacon, for that kind of unexpected emergencies!
