Bacon

Idea, originally uploaded by Lobstersquad.

We had banana pancakes this morning, with warm maple syrup and bacon. In the interests of health and saftey, since Pia was perched on a stool beside me at the stove, I microwaved the bacon.
It goes on a plate between paper towels and is blasted on high for two minutes then one minute then half minute bursts until crispy, depending on how much you're doing. This is by far the best method when you only need a couple of rashers for a sandwich.
