Saturday morning at the blog house, and it seemed like a bacon and eggs morning. To the sounds of Jackson Berkey at the piano, I went searching frantically for the pieces of the microwave bacon rack. This is a circular piece of plastic with protusion sticking out on three sides, to hang your bacon all over it. There are three legs, which took me 15 minutes to find, that support the gizmo over a pie place lined with paper towels. This catches 90% of the bacon fat (and yes, I know pork fat rules, but I like it crispy) and cooks most of a package of bacon in 8 minutes. I usually scramble my eggs with some dried onion and some finely chopped tomatoes, with a bit of milk and pinch of garlic powder.

The Debussy part of my Saturday morning is Berkey's "Sunken Cathedral" cd, which features three Debussy pieces plus a Vincent Persichetti sonata and an original by Chip Davis, who is the genius behind Mannheim Steamroller. Wonderful music for a beautiful Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the CD is out of print, though you might also enjoy "Cape May Preludes".

À la prochaine!
