OSUT 261: Will the King be neutered?? Only Expat knows for sure

Well done, DD.

Can't tell from camera perspective, but is it a good height to double as an easy way to serve TV table meals?

You thought of eating, I thought firearm storage.

Howdy, Target.

That could work too but they'd have to be short guns. It's only 41" wide.

Bacon's in the oven. It smelled good before I even started cooking it. It's the extra thick maple brown sugar bacon I got at Fresh Thyme.

Great for that too, I'll bet.

Maybe for a couple of hiders, in case of some crazy home invasion scenario?

We have a similar item, but larger, walnut, drawers below and on the ends with the opening top.
Tried the eating idea, but too tall after it's open, no way to adjust height with the complicated spring hinges.
We have six blankets stored in the top of ours.

Morning target, klausm, mom

about to do the rear brakes.... was going to change all 4 but noticed they shorted me a front rotor.

Only bad thing about gun storage (besides not really being secure) is that it opens up the wrong way for someone on the couch to get to them quickly.

not if you mount it in a holster on the bottom of the lid

Just had a few sprinkles. C'mon rain... make me not feel guilty about not mowing!

True, but I was thinking long gun. I've always got my pistol on my hip.

Perfect just measured a american ranch, 36 inches long has the 16 inch barrel.

Making a run to the store. Be back soon.

BLTs consumed. That bacon is good! I was worried it might not get crispy since it was so thick, but it crisped up nicely.

When you cook bacon in the oven, do you cover it with something?
The few times I've cooked bacon that way the grease spatter was a problem.
Tried one of those screens that's supposed to stop that, but it only helped a little.

I also tried parchment paper and that works great for the spatter, but it captures so much of the grease.
I like to keep bacon grease for other uses.

I don't cover it. I just use parchment paper on the bottom of the baking sheet. I cook it at 375 for about 20 minutes, then rotate the pan and cook another 6-8 minutes or until cooked to the desired crispness level. Never noticed any problem with spatter.

Susan's getting ready to go see her dad. Nap time for me.

I went nuts and ate at the Culver’s for lunch, 2 pc cod dinner (fries and slaw) with a chocolate shake. That was very exciting.

OK, so you're not trying to hoard bacon grease for the next gravy event like I am.

I used a sided cookie sheet, but I put a cookie cooler grid on the bottom, then the bacon on the grid so any grease drips through.

I also used a lower temp, but you've gotten me to think again.

I know the oven instead of skillet is very popular, almost a Stairway To Bacon Heaven for many.
