How is everyone doing?  No nukes yet and all my trees are still standing.  I&#8217;m stocked up with supplies and ready for the next round of rain.  I hope you are too.  It&#8217;s going to be wild tomorrow morning.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#f20a0a\">Part of hunkering down is cooking (at least while one still has gas\/electric).  Today, eye of round is on the menu for me.  (RSVP?)  I realized I didn&#8217;t have a baking rack so I googled how to get around that.  During the search, I hit upon this little gem of a video (less than 2 minutes) that I&#8217;ve posted below about making your own kitchen tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#f20a0a\">I usually make bacon in the oven, on a cookie cooling rack, with tinfoil covering the bottom of the pan.  After cooking, I can let the pan sit until the grease hardens and throw away the tinfoil to make clean up easier.  But I always needed to soak the rack to get all the cooked bacon off of it.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"embedly-card\" data-card-controls=\"1\" data-card-align=\"center\" data-card-theme=\"light\"><h4><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/_ez1njrvpZ4\">How to Bake Crispy Bacon &#8211; How to Cook Bacon in the Oven<\/a><\/h4><p>For the full How to Bake Bacon Recipe with ingredient amounts and instructions, please visit our recipe page on Inspired Taste: https:\/\/www.inspiredtaste.net\/8008\/how-to-bake-bacon\/ Baking bacon in the oven is easy, there&#8217;s no spluttering of oil and it makes crispy slices of bacon heaven.

I think you&#8217;ll thank me if you&#8217;ve not already tried cooking bacon this way at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color\" style=\"color:#f00d0d\"> So here&#8217;s the ingenious video I came across today that solves the cooling rack problem.
