I want my readers to know...
I love to write thoughtful, carefully crafted stories about my life, memories and aspirations... “narrative non-fiction” is what that sort of writing is called.
One of those aspirations was to have a reason to write those stories, and a place for others to read them.
That is the primary reason this blog exists. It is my place to make available the stories that live within me. It is my intention for this blog to be a reflection of myself and my interests.
I write strictly for my own pleasure (and hopefully your reading enjoyment). I do not get paid to write anything that appears on this site!
It’s all me – all the time.
That is my full disclosure…

Congrats on your meal planning and preparation! Wow! Your meal sounds absolutely scrumptious! I am a big fan of the Asian cuisines, but I cook them far from authentically. I often combine recipes or completely make them up. That's what makes cooking fun...the experimentation and improvisation!
Good luck with the rest of your cooking this week!
However, I'll share a tip I learned recently. Turkey bacon tastes exactly the same and BARELY has grease to it. I'm talkin' half a pound in a skillet creates like seven drops of grease. It's crazy, man. But it's still time consuming.
I should also mention I prefer shatter bacon, as in, if you dropped it on the floor it would shatter. I like the fat to be crunchy. Chewy is disgusting. Plain and simple.
I cook bacon in the microwave for times when I don't need to render the bacon fat for the dish itself. So, for the omlette bacon, I take a paper plate, cover it with several layers of paper towels, lay out the bacon strips, cover with another paper towel and microwave it on high for 1 minute per strip of bacon. Then I snip it up with kitchen shears.
I agree on the importance of crispness...nothing nastier than wiggly bacon!
I've never tried turkey bacon myself, but I have heard that it can be very tasty indeed!
We try to treat ourselves to nice homemade brunches on the weekend when we don't usually have to be up at the crack of dawn. It's our little indulgence!
