Tomorrow, hopefully, I’ll be back to blogging about regular reading and writing topics! We were still digging our driveway today. It’s pretty clear now. Initially, I tried to drive out of the driveway but got stuck. We were able to clear the snow from around my tires before I was able to back completely out of the driveway! I didn’t go out to the store or anything. I just wanted to be sure that I could get out because I’m assuming my job will be open tomorrow. Both my job, and my husband’s job were closed today because of the weather.

During this storm, I’ve found myself in the kitchen a lot more! This morning I made pancakes and bacon! I make bacon sometimes on the weekends. I’ve also recently discovered that I prefer making it in the oven instead of the skillet. It’s so much easier. Here’s how I do it:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Separate slices of bacon and place into a clean pan (I use a cookie sheet, the kind that’s like a shallow pan/jellyroll pan – it has sides along the edges. You don’t want to use a cookie sheet without sides because the bacon grease will roll off the pan and into your oven, creating a big mess!)

Place bacon into preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cooking times may vary by oven.

Remove from oven when it’s done. Drain on a paper towel.

Enjoy! 🙂
