bacon is wan's friend, episode 10837598

i've been wanting to try one of these for ages.

unfortunately, i have yet to find a store anywhere near me out in BFE that carries the fabulous vosges chocolates. boo.

and then yesterday, my buddy tater sent me a link to a new product, just released by the same company:

tater and i, as you know, often send each other bacon news and recipes and such. now, you're either going to completely dig the idea or be absolutely grossed out by it: it's pancakes studded with chunks of that hotmazing-looking bacon chocolate bar. heh. obvs, i'm in the "love it, gotta try it" camp. mmmm. i have GOT to find this stuff somewhere, and soon.

vosges, are you listening? you should totally send me some samples, and i'll write up a fantastic review. you know you want to.

while we're on the subject, one of the girls on my nest board mentioned that she'd had a pretty delicious bacon cheesy potato burrito at taco bell and had thought of me as she devoured it. this amuses me SO much - i've learned that i come to mind for a bunch of folks whenever they see bacon or the jonas brothers. ha! i guess there are worse things to be associated with.

i'm not typically a taco bell fan - i prefer del taco for no specific reason - but you know after i got one look at that thing, i had to have one. come on! that burrito is my beloved tater tot casserole all wrapped up neatly in a tortilla. and so after picking up the teen from her last day of summer school (whee!), we made a run for the border. voila!

i hoovered it right up until i got to the bottom of the burrito, and my dirty always-in-the-gutter mind couldn't stop giggling at this:

i ate it anyway, of course. and yeah, it was super tasty. i'm totally craving one right now. and while the teen enjoyed her veggie 7-layer burrito, what we both loved was rediscovering the classic taco bell dessert - cinnamon twists.

sweet, crunchy, light. like a churro, but it's not! we devoured these within seconds.

and since i haven't posted a new bean picture in a few days (i think), here's some new ones. i love how adorable she is in her new summer duds (not to mention how much i dig finding a huge stack of stuff to pick from at target for $4!), and i was glad she was willing to hold still and smile long enough to snap off a few shots.

we're only 1/4 of a year away from her birthday now! holy shit, my baby's gonna be 2 soon. where does the time go??
