Oven to 375º, lay out bacon in a cookie sheet with a rim. It’s ok if they get scrunched up a bit….

Some Sundays we’ll get dollar dumplings from the surly lady at Fried Dumpling and then stroll over to the Lower East Side. Check out some of the vintage shops, maybe split a treat from the Doughnut Plant. And then off to the Pickle Guys for our usual roster of half…
