BLT BOWL aka I'll Huff and I'll Puff and I'll blow out the fiery pan of smoldering bacon

Jenny's BLT Bowl

Is your tummy is a rumblin' for a delicious, healthy, locally sourced and (theoretically) easy meal? Look no further, the BLT Bowl is no match for the hungry.

Round one: Bacon - 1, Jenny - 0

I decided to give oven cooked bacon a whirl, putting baking racks on a pan and spreading the strips across them. I set the oven to 350 and went upstairs to put my son down for a nap. I came down about 10 minutes later and it was thoroughly cooked, but not sufficiently crisp, so I decided to pop it in the broiler. A couple minutes later it was nearly perfect. I thought another few seconds would put that 'melt in your mouth' finish on the strips, so I closed up the broiler. Immediately smoke began spilling out. I pulled open the door and saw my precious Hickory Acres 'No-No' Bacon engulfed in flames. After nearly hyperventilating from blowing out the fiery mess, the smoke detector stationed right outside my son's room started bleating. I tossed the smokey pork remains out the front door, ran upstairs and ripped the alarm from the wall. Disaster averted.

Round two: Jenny - victorious, Bacon - devoured
