"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Did y'all know there was such a thing as bacon jerky?

Oof, this is dangerous information. First bacon jam and now this.

I KNOW! Shelf stable bacon!

That's really great, Kat, 'cause mistakes are one of the best ways to learn, and it's tough for students to grok that sometimes. I have this whole speech I give on making your mistakes big so you can learn from them, and we laugh a lot in our classes while correcting things, ("good correction" is higher praise than "that's right") but something like that is a great idea for framing that conversation.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

aaaand I just bought bacon jerky off Amazon. Thanks, Liese! Bacon on demand!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

It's a little dry, 'cause, you know, jerky. But it is seriously something I didn't know I needed until this week.

But hasn't there always been shelf-stable bacon in those little packets in the salad seasoning aisle? (Not that I've ever tested its staying power after purchase, mind you...)

In terms of rewarding people for identifying risks/problems literal cookies can be very effective. An *immediate* reward, and the sweet taste gives very powerful sense memory reinforcement.

So one of the coolest things I've seen a math teacher do is each day she has a my favorite mistake.

That's a great idea. I get so many great teaching ideas from you, Kat.

But hasn't there always been shelf-stable bacon in those little packets in the salad seasoning aisle?

Bac-O-Bits? Those are soy, not bacon.

Perhaps soy but still delicious!

Fair enough Kat, but they taste different to me. Like turkey bacon. It tastes like salty, smoked turkey to me, which is good, but not bacon.
