I had to stop and get my prescriptions at CVS on the way home. When I got home, I was struck by how chilly the house was. I checked and it was only 62 degrees inside! Of course, it was only a high of 68 degrees outside today. It might have been wimpy, but I turned the furnace on!
I went outside and ran the hose and sprinkler in the back out to the spot where I reseeded the grass (but still on the woodchips, in case they cut my lawn - big "if" there). Then I hooked the hose up and ran it for 30 minutes. I'll do that each night until the grass is re-established. I also filled the bird feeder and suet cage.
My neighbor brought over some of my mail that got delivered to her house and three big tomatoes from their garden. So, I thought BLT's might be in order. Carla had showed me a trick for making bacon in the microwave so I tried it with the last 8 pieces of bacon I had thawed. But, I misjudged the cooking time (I belatedly called her afterwards and got the correct time) and ended up with 8 black, burned strips of bacon instead. So, forget the BLT's!
Instead, I ate another burger and two ears of sweet corn. I did take another pack of bacon out of the freezer and will try BLTs another time. Watched TV but turned in early.
So, let me get this straight . . . The gourmet chef can't cook Bacon....

Ouch! That stings! I CAN cook bacon in a pan or the oven, dear Brother. I was just trying to speed up the process with the microwave.
ReplyDeleteBTW, it was put the slices between paper towels and cook on High one minute per slice and check after five minutes, in case you were wondering.
