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!

"Hot Doug's"? No, really?

Also, don't tease me. Bacon and chocolate? Has someone invented the perfect PMS food?

Hot Doug's is delicious! The owner went to culinary school and then decided to open his own hot dog place. But it's no ordinary hot dog place! There are all kinds of gourmet sausages and on Fridays and Saturdays they offer fries cooked in duck fat.

Mmm, the chocolate bacon bar. I'll have to get one to you.
