My favorite way to eat bacon is on a BLT sandwich with the tomato fresh from my garden. In the past, I have also used the 2-piece broiling pan that came with my oven, but a whole package of bacon doesn't fit on 1 broiling pan, so I use the 2 baking sheets. If using 2 trays, switch the trays positions at about 10 minutes.

I remember thinking, when I first knew my future grandmother-in-law, that I’d never get up some mornings because it was washing day or floor scrubbing day. Change your attitude and self talk about household chores – “I used to hate scrubbing the shower but now it’s not so bad.” to music whenever I can.
