where our wasted time becomes your wasted time

Bacon

Exhibit A

Lloyd thinks that perhaps we should start a bacon mat gallery! I tried to make individual mats a while back, which I’ll show later, but here is a wonderful, wonderful e-mail from my brother:

We made our very first BACON MAT!!!!!! The BLT’s were delicious, but I shoud’ve cooked the bacon a bit longer and also tried to drain more of the fat off as it cooked. Love you (just because, but also because you’ve taught us something new!)!!

So yummy...

Woven bacon… is there nothing it can’t do? I’ve had the best luck when I don’t drain off the fat. Just let it stew in it’s own juices. I lift it up with two big ol’ spatulas. (Not the ones that Lloyd cleans the gutters with, thank you.)

It was a busy day! It started off with Tim’s baptism, which was lovely. (I’m sure Uncle Brad will post more about that on www.bradaptation.com , so I’ll leave it at that.) Welcome to God’s family, Tim!

The rest of the day was spent having lunch at Valentino’s, then getting some work done around the house. Deborah and the girls were coming for dinner, and I wasn’t sure what to make. When in doubt…..

Bacon mats.

mmmm..... bacon.....

I can’t take credit for these. I saw them at instructables.com and thought that they looked pretty dang good. Finally all those years of watching my mom weave pie crust tops have paid off. (I can’t make pie.)

The best part is that they make awesome BLT’s. Cut each mat into fourths, and it’s a solid slab of bacon that stays put on your bread!

Unfortunately, Macy had to stay at Grandma and Grandpa’s because she was sick. Bethany was a hoot, though. I’ll post her photo with Pfennig tomorrow.
