Live Life With More Bacon

We like bacon around here, especially since I caught onto what most of you have probably known and practiced for years: bacon in the oven. Line a pan with foil, lay out the bacon, pop it into a cold oven, set the temp at 400 and the timer for 25 minutes*, and presto! Perfectly cooked bacon, fast clean up, and no grease-splattered clothes. We had BLT's last night and BLT's tonight- with one request for scrambled eggs and bacon. I'm telling you, supper doesn't get much sweeter than that. I definitely see a life with more bacon.

That's all I have for you, folks. =)



*Original tips I read regarding this method suggested a 17-20 minutes time span; 25 minutes in our oven results in what we like.

Bacon Makes A Family Happy

There are days when I enjoy my kids, and then there are days when I really enjoy my kids. Today was one of those days.

The middle swept up cat food without being asked, although we still have no idea why the young cat freaked out and made the mess that she did. The oldest met us for lunch and made the three complete as they made me laugh with their view on life as they know it. The youngest randomly put her arm around me in the middle of the grocery store and said she had really enjoyed her day with me.

The beauty of that last line? We had been to the mall and I didn't buy her a thing. So like I said, there are good days, and then there are really good days. For supper, I cooked 'em all two packages of bacon and made their day complete.

Life really isn't all that complicated.
