Windsparrow, I read one of the links. Oy. Some hot stuff there.

So Shir, if I cook breakfast for you, I get to keep all the bacon? Wow, that is an awesome relationship.

It might have been a late brunch, but it all came out yummy. Scrambled eggs with Colby/Jack cheese, thick bacon out of the oven, and toast. Now I'm thinking about those huge grapes in the fridge. Shir, I hope you've eaten.

heh. wow, even later than mine that i just gobbled down, omnis, cause I'm at least on pacific time! scrambled eggs with mozzarella, and the last sad half of an english muffin in the fridge, and OJ. No bacon, though. I love it, but never cook it at home--both too messy, and I'd never manage to finish it all before it goes bad, even when I buy the little tiny packs. The perils of being a single person AND rarely cooking breakfast...

Try cooking in the oven. I do a sheet of foil with all edges folded up, cook for 10ish min at 475f. Then the paper towels I use to blot the bacon dry, I fold into the foil to keep the grease in. Clean up is done.

{{Nora}}peace and strength

keep the bacon in the freezer.

Or cook it all up and make BLT or sprinkle it on salads..

ION, I am making Kitchen Catchatori ( my version of chicken catchatori). Smells so good and we have hours to go.....

It's kinda funny. Boss gives me a Dallas Cowboy hat for Xmas saying "don't you think it's time to cheer for the local team". And here my Eagles are steamrolling the Cowboys.

Yep. Another December collapse for Dallas.

IOfootballN, in an inglorious end to one of the most frustrating seasons in history, my Jags are being stomped by the freakin' Ravens.

The Birds/Boys game isn't on out here in CA, but I've got the gamecast on and am loving it. LOVING IT. And it looks like Singletary is locking in his job next year (Niners) so I am pleased. Now if the Warriors can just do to the Lakers what they they did to the Celts...

I was so very happy to be staying completely at home with no plans or errands tonight for the first time in December (it seems!)but I got a call from some people I'm dying to see so it looks like I'll be eating at a restaurant tonight in order to visit them. And I have a fridge full of wonderful leftovers. And I already have non-cancellable plans for tomorrow night too (involving another dinner at a restaurant). I love my friends but I am worn out! I know many of you are facing this exact predicament.

Nora, I am so very sorry that your family is being struck by loss at what is supposed to be a celebratory season. ((((Nora))))

Thanks, java.
