My preferred method of making bacon.
1. Put bacon in a cast iron skillet.
2. Bake this at 375º until it's done the way you like it. I like mine very crispy.
3. Save the bacon grease for another time.

I made bacon in the microwave last night, to go with the po-ta-toes, and I should have known better. Not good at all.

Your method sounds much better!

I read about a couple of dessert bars around town. They sell desserts by the portion instead of whole. The one I want to try is the farthest from here, but distance won't hinder me.

I got my KitchenAid mixer in 1986. I can't imagine how many rotations it's made, but until I lived by myself, I used it at least once a week, more before I went back to work. As contractors say, "you have to use that iron so it can pay for itself". This mixer paid for itself many times over.

Don't use yours to make mashed potatoes. It's too powerful. Use a potato ricer instead.

Reminds me to take ours in and get a tune-up.

I learned to make these this year - the ones I made for Thanksgiving were fabulous but I forgot to put the sugar in the ones for Christmas and they were not as good

I use Nick Malgieri's recipe. My family not only loves then, they requested them. Except my sister, who prefers Brown and Serve.

We went to a dessert buffet a few years ago and it was scrumptious.

Will Mrs. Maister be able to eat the hot d'oeuvres post dental surgery?

Perhaps you should get some dips.

Mrs. P received 3 puzzles - 2 have been completed & she'll probably break out #3 on Thursday.
