A bacon thread.

Yep.

After a week-long glut of why I should feel guilty for one dietary choice or another; here it is.

Enjoy.

Oh wait.

The graphic in your face threads are nearly never created by those of us who choose animal protien diets.

Carry on.

and easier. I put it on a wire rack on a cookie sheet and bake between 350 and 400 and it turns out really good. You don't have to flip it or anything. Just don't forget to that its in the oven lol. I hardly make bacon either mainly just for my daughter she love it

The final crisping wants to be done slowly on defrost but you can get nicely crisp bacon with no burning in a surprisingly short time if you practice a bit.

Use a microwave bacon cooker with a cover and you don't get splattered grease all over the kitchen, a real plus in my book.

Francis Bacon's triptych portrait of Lucien Freud



It took seven superrich bidders to propel a 1969 Francis Bacon triptych to $142.4 million at Christie’s on Tuesday night, making it the most expensive work of art ever sold at auction. William Acquavella, the New York dealer, is thought to have bought the painting on behalf of an unidentified client, from one of Christie’s skyboxes overlooking the auction.
