sounds amazing!! Also can someone teach me how to properly cook bacon!? Cause I majorly failed tonight. oh btw I bought some today too plus lots of sausage so I had breakfast for dinner couple fried eggs, bacon, maple sausage links, homefries, pancakes, the works.

Also I need to parallel park and back up straight I just avoid doing both unless absolutely necessary.

Well, 3+ hours later.... Let's see, I'm several pages behind & haven't skipped up to see if any replies or answers have occured; here goes another late night volley.....

Bacon. The safest method I have developed - not the only method out there mind you. The method is the same time and oven steps for both versions; with and without a bed of green beans on the cookie sheet.
1) standard full size cookie sheet add 2 ~10-12oz bags of frozen green beans (Kroger's are 12oz) spread them out as a single layer -as best as possible.
2) peel the strips from the bag and usually I will get the entire package on there *even if* I over lap them ever so slightly. You know they shrink anyways.
3) once all bacon strips are in place put the cookie sheet in the oven.
4) turn on oven to 350-375° (it depends on your oven really) and set timer for 15 minutes.
5) check the look of the bacon at the "gong" if they look too "ham-colored" still reset timer for 5 more minutes.
6) our convection oven is typically 20-25 minutes total time for the single sheet w/green beans from power on of oven.
*7) sometimes if it's a multi-tasking kitchen time window and it's at the 15 time marker, I turn off the oven and set timer for 10 minutes. That allows me time to make sure I have countertop space to bring it out.

Finished product it's nicely cooked, firm but not crispy and it almost never sticks to the cookie sheet. And by that I mean one or two strips might have a tip or corner that's baked to the pan but, very little pull and it's off the pan.

Part 2.... Parking & backing up..... I taught folks how to drive 18 wheelers. Have been slowly teaching our eldest teen daughter both driving a stick shift (VW TDI & the crewcab F350 diesel) but, she's also learning with the 32' gooseneck flatbed trailer. I think I can offer you a few pointers along the way if you'd like..... Just remember. Slow and steady. Is the safest method. And never loose a sense of humour either!(especially with your own mistakes)

Thanks! This is really helpful and the green bean thing sounds delicious!! I tried to cook them in the skillet and completely murdered the first pieces I was paying attention but the pan was just really hot and also no grease or anything yet cause I hadn’t cooked it yet so they stuck to the pan and also didn’t really fit and yeah... totally black and shrunken and murdicated had to throw two pieces out and managed to salvage one that wasn’t that bad then the later pieces were better because they had the grease in it by then and I flipped them more often too which helped but yeah. I think cooking bacon is a bit of an art cause I am never seem to do it right but yet my dad can although sometimes I’ve cooked them and not burned them so idk if it’s this new kind I got or what. My dad and brother lately buy the precooked microwaveable bacon but that’s nasty so I didn’t get that

Oh wow that’s impressive!! I don’t think I could drive a trailer cause I can barely even do it with the car heck, I once tried to back the tractor up with a trailer and it kept going the wrong way I wanted! granted that trailer is kind of finicky I think but still. I used to be especially bad about hitting the curb on the right side too. I’ve gotten better but still sometimes happens.
