Dearest Bartholomew, thank you so much for your thoughtful and genuine comment. It's quite interesting to me that while you complain about food blogs, you are spending your time writing up comments and hanging out on a food blog, where all the recipes are free. It conjures images for me of going to the beach, then complaining about sand and salt water. If you don't like what's there, leave, you know what I mean? So perhaps just move on and go buy a cookbook (spoiler alert - those have stories too...)

The bacon used in this blog looks disgustingly burnt. When baking bacon 🥓 in the oven you need to watch the oven closely and not walk away. Also thinner bacon 🥓 can be cooked without flipping in about 15 mins on 400°F. Thicker bacon tends to take about 25 mins with flipping multiple times so it doesn’t burn. If you’re going to post a photo for a good blog recipe make sure the food doesn’t look disgusting. Also good blogs are annoying as hell. Nobody cares about your opinions or story about the food. Just put the damn recipe up and let it be.

Thanks so much for your comment, Lysa! I do tend to like my bacon crispy. Everyone has their own preferences. Certainly keep an eye on yours, and bake it until it's done to your liking, then take it out. That should help keep it from getting too crispy for you.
