In a large skillet cook bacon over medium heat until browned and crisp. Drain on paper towels, reserving 2 tbsp. of drippings in skillet.

This is the first item you've posted that I do not want to eat.
But, it is amazing that you can even make sprouts from Brussels look good.
Thanks, Jason. At least they are visually appealing to you.
