Aren't those lardons? Or is it the same thing?
Or wait, so you lard the lardoon to make lardons?
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

I think lardoon and lardon are the same thing.
What kills me is that in early modern books every noun is capitalized. It's batty making.

Hmmm. A new take-out place that sells empanadas just opened right next door to the place that sells patties. This white boy is very confused.

A recent Masterpiece Theatre was the story of the first modern cookbook by Mrs. Beeton. I'm not sure what precisely divided modern from the rest, but it was an interesting if very likely spunked-up story of a woman ahead of her time, and a man trying to keep up.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, say one is employed in the computer/tech industry and been working for the same company for more than 10 years (11, actually). What's the usual/common amount of vacation/PTO/sick time that one might get per year?

Three at my Michigan job, four or five at my last job, and more than that here. All the jobs were tech jobs, but only the first one was at a tech company.

A Greek policeman has been arrested after allegedly shooting a man who had double-parked his car to buy breakfast.
The driver and a friend were ordering coffee and cheese pies on Sunday when the off-duty officer told them to move their car, police said.
I really want a cheese pie very badly now. With coffee, even.
