ICE CRYSTALS

Do you like bacon? Here’s a filler I wrote and had published.

To cut bacon’s fat, sodium, and cost in half each time you use it, and to keep it longer, cut the slices in half with a sharp knife when you first open the package. Fold two to four slices at a time, accordion-style, into wax paper. Then slip these little packets into freezer bags and freeze. The bacon thaws in seconds when fried, and the half-slices are the perfect size for BLTs.
