This post, like so much of my life, is about food.

xica_s and favabean, I have tried the new Vosges bar! Thank you for telling me about it! Mmm, 41% cacao chocolate, smoked salt, and bacon is a DELICIOUS combination. BACON! Bacon in a chocolate bar and damn! it tastes good.

I was looking around the Vosges site (www.vosgeschocolate.com) and found some other new flavors that sound good. Like these:

Wattleseed - a nuance of hazelnut, coffee, and vanilla

Quandong - a wild Australian fruit with a tart apricot flavor

Tlan Nacu - dark chocolate + Mexican vanilla bean

Buddha's Leaf - Malaysian pandan leaves impart a hint of vanilla wafer and pine nut

Don't those sound good? Unfortunately, they are only available in a silly "yoga and chocolate" gift box and I don't want to spend $44 on trying the new flavors.


Another food place that was discussed at xica_s's birthday shindig was Hot Doug's. Gals, I was there last Monday, so they're definitely open once more. Go forth and enjoy your encased meats!


I'm sure I have more food-related items to post but can't think of any right now. Tell me all about your food-related stuff!
