Hi everyone,

I've discovered a way to cook bacon to where I can still enjoy it being "dentally challenged": 400 degrees F in the oven on a baking sheet. I
normally get thick cut bacon and it comes out lightly crunchy. Just perfect
to go with scrambled eggs. Where there's a will, there's a way...

Depending on what I'm using the bacon for, I'll cook it either in the microwave or frying pan or bake it in the oven. The latter is good for large quantities, the first for spatter free cooking as the bacon gets layered between paper towels.

I have a round, ridged tray from Nordic Ware for use in the nuker. It
is ridged on one side w/a pouring lip to help get rid of the bacon

I bought a rectangular, ridged on one side and sloped into a well thing for doing bacon with my first microwave. Passed it on eventually for various reasons.

I had ne of those several houses (and microwaves) ago. It went, pretty
quickly, to the Goodwill donations box.

grease. and the reverse side is smooth and can be used for cooking or warming pizza in the microwave.

Most of our pizza is done in the regular oven. Reheating is done in the toaster/convection oven, as is pizza bread (toast bread, add sauce, toppings, bake for a few minutes in oven).

I only use this for warming pizza. Baking is done on a pizza stone in
the oven. Just bought a new 16" square pizza stone w/paddle (peel) for
less than U$10. Heck, the peel is worth that.

This one will be made in the near future - note that it hasn't got
any tomatoes. But I'm waiting until the asparagus pokes its heads up
with the warmer weather.

Title: Pesto Shrimp Pasta
Categories: Pasta, Herbs, Citrus, Seafood, Vegetables
Yield: 4 servings

Looks interesting. I'd probably do a half recipe for just Steve and me.

It should save well for leftovers. Although I might, if doing "plan
overs" cut back on the pasta and do fresh when I haul the sauce out
of the fridge. Bv)=

Depends, I might do planned overs but usually cook up pasta fresh and
just reheat the sauce.

That's the way I do it and that's what I said above. I've not figured
out a way the save cooked bare pasta successfully.

Made this yesterday for my brother's Stupid bowl party. He supplied the dippers. I dropped it off and came back home to finish a book I was near
the end of. Watching steroid giants crash into each other is not my idae
of time well spent.

Hi Dave,

I bought a rectangular, ridged on one side and sloped into a well thing for doing bacon with my first microwave. Passed it on eventually for various reasons.

I had ne of those several houses (and microwaves) ago. It went, pretty quickly, to the Goodwill donations box.

It was essentially a uni-tasker; I try not to keep many of those in my
kitchen.

grease. and the reverse side is smooth and can be used for cooking or warming pizza in the microwave.

Most of our pizza is done in the regular oven. Reheating is done in the toaster/convection oven, as is pizza bread (toast bread, add sauce, toppings, bake for a few minutes in oven).

I only use this for warming pizza. Baking is done on a pizza stone in
the oven. Just bought a new 16" square pizza stone w/paddle (peel) for less than U$10. Heck, the peel is worth that.

We have a 16x20 stone and a peel that's about 15" side to side; took a
bit of a learning curve to master getting the pizza off the peel but
Steve can do it quite well now (most of the time).

That's the way I do it and that's what I said above. I've not figured

Mix a bit of oil (olive or canola) or butter in with it, store it
tightly covered. Works well for us.

I watched maybe two minutes of the game, spent more time visiting with
friends. Our church had its annual game watch/chili cook off with
results of the latter announced at half time. Out of about 9 chilis,
ours placed third. First was a real mouth scorcher, with extra peppers
on the side. Ours had a nice blend of about 8 peppers (fresh, dried and powdered) that gave a nice heat, but not too hot, from the lips to the
throat. Trouble is, this group does not know/appreciate real chili,
despite our years of trying to educate them.

Looks good,we've enjoyed cannolis at various Italian restaurants.
Wegmans sells both the filled ones, plus packages of shells, shell
pieces and the filling--nice treat.
