What I Ate. (Oven Bacon)

buffalo-new-york-14

*What a great looking city.

I arrived in Buffalo late on Wednesday.  I had every intention of eating as I have been…i.e., like a human being who doesn’t hate herself.  But please allow me to jump to Friday.

What I Ate on Friday

  • 1/4 homemade Danish puff and five cups of coffee with cream.
  • Three sour cream Timbits donuts, and a small coffee with cream from Tim Hortons.
  • A plate of 49’ers with two slices of thick bacon, and 1/4 of my mother’s leftover  raspberry waffle from The Original Pancake House.
  • Two hamburgers (without the buns because I’m being super healthy) with cheese, bacon, and avocado alongside a five-inch oven-baked egg roll.
  • Vanilla soft serve sundae with hot fudge, whipped cream, and nuts.
  • There was other stuff too, but I blacked out and can’t remember.

I won’t lie.  It was awesome.  I feel like absolute shit, but I’m owning it.

All I have for you today is how to cook bacon in the oven.  You may think this is a cop-out, and it is, but it is still a useful skill.

  1. Preheat the oven to 400f/200c.
  2. Go get some bacon and put it on a greased, foil-lined baking tray.
  3. Cook for 15-20 minutes, but start checking on it after 12 minutes.
  4. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  5. It lasts for a week in the refrigerator and three months in the freezer.
  6. Keep the fat if you’re a disgusting human being.

*I feel embarrassed posting “American Girl,” but I’m doing it anyway.  I like the song.  It moves me.  And it is not my fault there is no rocky/bluesy/hint-of-country anthem for dual-nationality middle-aged women.

Next week’s post will be about how crack is pretty good stuff.  The week after that will be a tutorial on giving handjobs for quick cash.
