Kathleen:
   I got this cool little gizmo at Walmart.  It is a pan/tray with a
handle and little T-bars that you can fit into holes.  You drape the
bacon like wet laundry, put a paper towel over the top to stop splatters
and Viola! you have crisp bacon _and_ bacon grease.  I get so damned
much that I feed it to the crows by the cupful.  The bacon cooker was
supposedly invented by a 12 year old girl, so I always feel a little
righteous when I use it.  Helping others and all that.  We bought a
second one  last night, just in case something happens, but the one we
have we  use every single day since before Christmas and it is still as
good as new.
