Me, I always pay attention (yeah, right). If I bake cookies, I have to ask Stirling to watch them for me. He's more than happy to do it. If I don't, I burn them. I've burnt lots of stuff from not paying attention.
What are you doing?

be very careful putting paper towels under the bacon in your nuker.
the fat soaks into the paper and the combo can start a grease fire in just a few minutes.
a guy at work reheated some pizza on paper towels, leaving one in the microwave that had some of the oil from the pizza on it. another guy came along and put another paper towel on top, then re-heated a cup of tea.
the paper towels caught on fire setting off smoke alarms. the city firemen that showed up weren't too happy, nor were our bosses.
Is your DH willing to watch the baking for you? Promises of cookies, cakes, pies, etc. are wonderful motivators.That's one reason why I don't bake, my attention span is too short!

Reminds me of a story about my mom. When she was very little, her family had a beloved blond cocker spaniel. The dog died without her knowledge when she was visiting relatives, so her dad looked all over for another cocker, and found one, only it was black. Her mother carefully explained that the dog had changed color in her absence. Mom pondered this for awhile, then asked, "What color Daddy now?"

Whacked up a frozen 11 pound slab of fat back into portions ranging from 6.5 to 33 ounces. A scrupulously cleaned 1.5" wide Stanley carpenter's chisel and a beefy counter top proved to be an excellent way of performing this task. That chisel has now become a permanent part of my butchering armamentarium.

Feed it to the birds. They could use the fat at this time of year.

I don't think theres any fat left. LOLFeed it to the birds. They could use the fat at this time of year.
I was going to say, it looks a little *rendered* to me, too
I just got from shopping. I made my way to my favorite shops and managed to piece together the things I need for my next project at two of them.
Then I hit a real grocery store and got drenched in the downpour as I was leaving. My hair is still dripping and that was 30 minutes ago.
Now I am going to plug my computer into the TV and finish off Downton Abbey.
I have been out doing mystery shopping jobs this morning, just finishing up the reports online and then I am done
This afternoon I am going to head out for a walk and then get dinner prepared as we are having mum over for dinner tonight

Relaxing in recliner before bedtime.
Sorting my desk while playing computer games. I had a very productive couple of days so I am giving myself the evening off! Soon I will go watch Jeopardy and The Taste!
