I can’t believe it is Thursday already.<\/p>\n

It is Thursday, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

My week fell apart a bit on Monday afternoon when I suddenly felt bad, slight fever which led to not much sleep. A dental appointment on Tuesday morning and then I tried to work but finally gave up and went to bed. Wednesday was better and today I feel 100%, but now it is Thursday!<\/p>\n

Anyway.<\/p>\n

So, oven bacon. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I read about making bacon in the oven earlier this year. I LOVE this – was I the last to know of this? You put the bacon on a foil lined cookie sheet, put it in a cold oven, turn the oven on to 375 and 15-20 minutes later…BACON !! <\/p>\n

AND, there is still some nice bacon grease to save for tortillas, frying onions, etc.<\/p>\n

This worked in the motorhome gas oven as well. There is no splattering, no fry pan to clean and the bacon can be “baked” crisp or tender – whatever your preference.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This morning I was frying some of the sausage my folks sent me – my birthday and Christmas present. This is a wonderful spicy sausage that they hunted high and low for in Louisiana. I don’t know what’s in it and maybe I don’t want to know. I do know that I like it – a LOT. It is fully cooked and good cold, but I also like to fry it up a bit crispy for adding to soups, salads and pasta dishes.<\/p>\n

This morning as I was standing there with fat flying, turning little circles of sausage… I got to thinking about the oven bacon and decided to try the next batch of sausage by that method.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Success!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The 2 batches mixed together – no difference except the oven batch method is hands off and cleanup is throwing away the foil.<\/p>\n

Hoo – rah!<\/p>\n

Auggie kept me company as I was experimenting.<\/p>\n

This is the least blurry photo I’ve been able to take of him on this chair. He has been using it as a kind of “jungle gym”. I have to try to get a video. He goes to the top, hangs over, leaps down or weaves through the ladder back. And again and again and again.<\/p>\n

I hope he, Bear and I survive his kittenhood…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
