o.k guys check this out! The other day I made bacon, like 5 days ago or so. I left the pan on the oven the rest of the day and at night I put it IN the oven, then the next morning (my daughter was home with me and I wanted to make us eggs. So, I was debating whether or not to make more bacon since I had eaten so much the day before then I figured, "either way, I still need the pan" So, I opened the oven, took it out and kinda freaked out! The bacon fat, (which was in solid form all the time except right after I had cooked the bacon) was what looked like, kinda "licked off" about 1/4th of the area that was originally there the last time I had seen. So I yelled at my daughter to come upstairs cuz i really was freaked out! Well she comes up and I show it to her and I ask her, "babe, check this out, did you do that?" She looks at me like all teens do when they think you’ve lost your marbles, and says sarcastically, "yeah sure mom I did that!" I tell her "no wait, hold on, for real, I put this in the oven last night and this is what is looks like now, come here, look at it, doesn’t it look weird?" She says gross mom it looks like the the cat or dog was licking it off. I said, yeah I know right! but it was IN the oven! she shook her head and traveled back down stairs. Well, needless to say, I scraped the rest out into the trash, washed the pan with hot water and soap, got the other half of yesterdays raw bacon, cooked it and all was well. THEN, it was the holiday, so of course my daughter and I went out of the city to relatives, ate and she stayed there and I went to my b.f’s house over night and now its tonight and I am home and the dirty pan caught my eye on the stove and I looked at it and took a double take and was shocked! The same markings were in the pan again!!! This time it was left outside on top of the oven so I’m examining it all up close and freaked out again and guys,,,,,, I REALLY want to know, WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK IT WAS??? Am I just trippn? I dont think so! Im not the type of person who sees, hears, or imagines stuff that isn’t really there. You kno what I mean? Now let me give you just a little back ground about my place:
Have you ever seen Bird on a Wire? Its with Goldie Hon (sp) and Mel Gibson (I think) and they are running away from??? any way, they rent this dive motel place to stay one night and while she is in the shower, she looks up at the shower head and this huge bug the size of an egg falls on her. Well any way, Its very very odd (I think) (cuz I grew up here in this state and I never saw those bugs here but had read about them and learned that they are a roach from texas or florida or something and sometimes they get so big they fly! Well like I said I did not think those were in my state but, they ARE cuz I have seen them around my house crawling around it out side and inside too but only in the basement, (or downstairs). Well any way, now that its winter, sometimes we might get a mouse or two but I have a cat and a mouser dog and I just dont think they make it too far around here cuz I have never SEEN any with my own eyes here at this house…… SO….. Im wondering,,,,, WHAT DO you guys think happened to the bacon grease that I left in the pan on those two separate occasions???? There are no tracks in or out of the pan and when you look at the pan up close, it does look like it could have even been finger prints kinda, or something but its so freaking gross, freaky, and ODD, I just cant believe it! I even started think’n "who’s got a video recorder I can borrow so I can catch it in the act?" But there is no one. I want to melt down the rest of the fat that is left in the pan, let it get hard again and leave it there one more night after i kick my cat out for the night and check it again tomorrow but really, AM I just weirding out or what???? PLEASE AS STUPID or FUNNY or GROSS AS THIS MIGHT SOUND, try not to be too rude or anything and (please) tell me, what do you think it was or IS??? Thanks guys! ( if there is no other way of answering but rudely, go for it, we all need a laugh BUT, leave your email so I can get back at you!!! j/k lol! Anyway, get back to me k? Thanks!
