I find it much easier to cook the bacon strips whole until crisp, blot them dry with a paper towel and then break apart.

@AnnieNT I do the same thing but I use chive cottage cheese.

Made some apple sauce this afternoon to go with pork chops, baked potato and carrots.

Having married off all the kids I have to say our sacred family dinner time is now on Sunday after church. When they were growing up we all had breakfast and dinner mostly together (some were still at baseball, football practice and some had to leave early for part time jobs). They didn't really snack, I only bought potato chip on the forth of July and Labor Day for picnics. There was alway fruit if one of them was 'starving'.

@eaguk really good fresh bread right out of of the oven with good butter and honey on it!!!

lobster, tossed with a bit of Hellmann's mayo on a toasted, side opening, buttered, fried hot dog roll. Maybe some cole slaw.

Aya Kristin Alt I use chive cottage cheese in my lasagna, too, instead of ricotta. Thinkingcrayons I don't drain it, just throw it in as is. Chunks melt. Haven't ever used low fat. Lasagna isn't diet food.

I mix strawberry jam with marshmallow fluff.

I hunt for my glasses all the time so I can see to cook

lamb shoulder chops, baked buttercup squash and twice baked potatoes.

King Arthur flour catalog has some nice 'toys' too.

I thought witches dissolved when they got wet. But maybe that's only witches from Kansas?
