Scales of Justice

Posted on September 13, 2012 by Ginny O'Donnell

Man, did I just get busted.

CRIME: Running out of maple syrup. And substituting sorghum.

MOTIVE:  I volunteered to make maple bacon for a wedding-shower brunch at work tomorrow. But I miscalculated on the maple syrup. And I needed something gooey to drizzle on the rest of the bacon strips to candy ’em up. I almost always have Kentucky sorghum in the cupboard, because I don’t go through it very quickly AND it lasts for years. So sorghum bacon was born tonight, my friends.

WITNESS: My husband caught me tasting (re-tasting) (re-re-tasting!) the drippings of the candied-sorghum-bacon drippings in the bottom of the pan. He actually testified that my eyes were rolled back in my head. Is that even legal?

EVIDENCE: Sticky fingers.

VERDICT: Oh, girl, you are so totally guilty!

SENTENCE: Step on the scale tomorrow.

About Ginny O'Donnell

After reading a really nice obituary a few years ago, I considered what they'll write about me. "She worked all day, then went home and made supper." Except now, my husband has retired, so he makes the supper. Hm. I sound kinda lazy, but I'm always busy. You'll see. Part 2: I like my original About Me, so I'm keeping it intact. But now I, too, am footloose. Let's see what happens next, shall we? Part 3: Just to keep everything in perspective, I'm keeping parts 1 and 2 intact. Now, I am actively and happily NOT so footloose, doing my thing over at Cottage Door Press. And with it being off its training wheels, I will pick up my ginnygram pen again. Love!

    Looks so good…I can’t wait! You know, there was a recent crime in Canada regarding maple syrup. Someone was siphoning off the syrup, in rather large quantities. Breakfast terrorism, no doubt.
