Between a Rock and a Hard Spot/Biscuit

One of my favorite movie lines of all time is the Cowardly Lion's comment to his compatriots, all of whom had fallen asleep in a poppy field and were awakened by falling snow courtesy of Glinda the Good Witch. "Unusual weather we're having, ain't it?"

Here in Colorado's Banana Belt of Canon City and the Arkansas Valley, I have personally experienced a dozen or so climate changes in the past two weeks. One afternoon at 4:45 it was 67F. The next day we were bundled up and waiting for snow. Then the willows started budding leaves. 

 

Anyway, the upshot of weird weather for me is what to eat. Do I eat summery, light fare? Or do I fry up those pork chops and potatoes? To be honest, right now I could easily find myself in between a rock and a hard spot (which in my kitchen is defined as a biscuit). BUT, thanks to the incredibly versatile, easy and season-appropriate recipes in My Mom Invented BAD Food, I can tailor my meals to what's going on outside my window! Today it's going to be (excuse me while I check the sky...) Caramelized Onion and Goat Cheese Pizza from the Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Committee, shown at right.

Hey, if you're between a rock and a biscuit but hungry for bacon, consider this Mom's Quick Tip: Mayonnaise added to a peanut butter, bacon and lettuce sandwich will keep it from sticking to the roof of your mouth. We've heard that, anyway. Not that we'd eat anything like peanut butter and bacon sandwiches... in public.
