It is official....After training for 12 years (started at age 4), Jacob passed his black belt test today and is now 1st Dan.

He tested with 17 others....good day of testing with some good fights....only a couple bloody noses and lips.

Oh WOW! That is bloody fantastic, a massive congratulations to you Jacob, definitely well earned!!!!!

Well let me wish you a good night sleep.....and an all you can eat bacon breakfast.

What did I ever do to you to have you wish death upon me....... or at least a rather upset tummy

I honestly do not remember where/when the bacon abhorrence began. Can you explain the backstory?

I don't think I've ever had a martini of any sort.

Easy...I do not like bacon...and bacon worshipers cannot understand that some would actually blaspheme their beloved bacon and they are offended by my freedom to dislike bacon and constantly try and puh bacon on me

All pork or bacon only?
Bizarre either way to shun one of the easiest to harvest, best tasting meats on the planet.
FWIW, I prefer smoked bacon which takes a little more work but taste SO much better.

One of the life skills we learned from the way we grew up was how to harvest our own meat. We slaughter 1-2 hogs and 1 beef every year and do all the processing and smoking ourselves. For the whole extended it ends up being 5-7 beef and 12-15 hogs/year. Weather used to allow this to be a Thanksgiving weekend affair every year. Now it is done in January.
It is a family affair and has made for some of my best (and worst) family memories.

You are mistaken. There is no such thing as freedom to dislike bacon.

 

[granfire]

hmmmm bacon

 

[seasoned]

BLT that's for me....

it’s basically pure vodka or gin served really cold. You have to stop at one, or if you’re really ready to party (or go to sleep), two.

stirred, not shaken?

Yes, but no L for me. I love lettuce but it has to be cold. Salads are my jam.
For my B(L)T I just substitute the L with extra Bacon.

I like bacon okay, but will almost always prefer a sausage of some kind.

I'm going to be tired today. For some reason, I woke up at midnight, then at 2, and then at 3. And then I couldn't get back to sleep.
