Place your bacon in the pan side by side and bake at 350* for 15-20 minutes. I usually go 20 because I like crispy. Just bake till it is right for you. Repeat if necessary.<br />I remove bacon on paper towels to drain.<br />Then I make a spout on one side of the foil and pour grease in my bacon grease jar carefully.<br />Throw away foil. Keeps things clean and easy.<br /><br />I then just bagged several pieces in a baggie - remove air and freeze. Pull out what you need when ready and microwave for a few seconds to warm.<br />ENJOY<br />Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-1186407164562727882019-07-08T07:58:05.730-04:002019-07-08T07:58:05.730-04:00Cheryl, I am sending you hugs.

I know Linda M mentioned it but think about a group. It does help a lot. Your concerns about a group are normal but trust me when I say that all who attend a grief group feel that way.<br /><br />I giggled about your soap. I was rearranging my soap cupboard last night thinking the very same thing. I have enough to last a lifetime. <br /><br />DH mowed and weeded the lawn this weekend. He came in with these large pretty purple pinecones. I realized those were not pinecones but blackberries. We have the biggest blackberries this year. It is so amazing. They were so good. Still snacking on them. Will be snacking on them probably till Autumn.

You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through this incredibly difficult time of huge change and grief. <br /><br />I live about 2 hours north of you and our weather has been pretty much the same as yours.

I lost ...You really need to give yourself a break. I lost my grandmother suddenly over 33 years ago and I still miss her every day. I have lost MANY other relatives since and before her but I miss her the most. The key word in that sentence about my grandmother's passing is "suddenly". When you lose someone suddenly the people left behind do not have the proper time to say goodbye and therein lays the biggest problem in the grief process. I know this because I actually wound up going to a psychologist because I wasn't myself for a very long time after her passing. He explained a lot of things to me and it really helped. I still do miss her even today but I have moved forward and have a wonderful, happy life that I know she would be proud of. Please continue to share your experience with us. We do care very much and want to help you any way we can. I hope my words have helped you today.
