This Bacon is the best. I also now have a new oven and am making Bacon that way. Oven cooking makes bacon tastier than the microwave which tends to make it too crispy and dry.



Having people over for New Year's Eve, no place to sit. Answer: Metal Folding chairs, $49.99 for four at Staples. $5 coupon put to use.
