Okay, I adore bacon. If I could make sexay times with bacon, I would. I've tried, but it always seems to break before getting all the way in. I also love chocolate. If I could have a chocolate transfusion, I would. I just don't know how I feel about the two things together.

A candy shop in Santa Cruz called Marini's is selling chocolate covered bacon. I don't know whether to lick my chops or bust a chunk in a plastic bag.

I'm willing to give it a bite. Upon further googling, I found a recipe for this possibly delicious treat. I know what I'm doing this weekend. Frying, eating and barfing! My three favorite things.

Cut to Brit Brit who is not impressed, "Pff'! I've been eatin' that stuff fo' years. Mah mama je'e made it fo' Sunday breakfist. We had it wif possum an' eggs an' sanka cake!"

It would be better with dark chocolate. Chocolate-covered chicken livers is where I draw the line, a concoction Ilan on Top Chef served. Chocolate covered ants were around when I was in elementary school. I suppose the next step will be chocolate-covered dill pickles.

Ok, we get to see the cage matches, BITCH FIGHTS with all the originals, in bikinis (and yes, this includes the men) having it out, no holds barred.
The prize? One lucky winner will walk away with a glimmer of some F-listed dignity, along with an item (read blurb) in Parade magazine, that shit that comes with your Sunday paper...you know, that shit yo' cat end up pissin' on, cuz you line the litter box with that shit, or either the cat just know to piss on it, regardless...
But it doesn't stop there.... You MAY be selected for "Dancing With the Stars" or "The Surreal World", but we've secured your place on either "Celebrity Rehab" or our new production "I Used to Be a Star, But Look How My Life Sucks Now"...the latter comes with the obligatory Cory Haim or Cory Feldman co-stars, so I'd go Celeb Rehab...

is probably the best thing he has ever said.

choc covered pretzels once a novelty, are a staple now, the salt of the pretzel and the choc go well together.

this bacon thing might be going too far.

I puffy heart Marini's! I still have a Marini's chocolate rose leftover from Mother's Day in my fridge. :D OK, on to the chocolate covered bacon. There's this thing about SC...folks love the wacky tobaccy. This delicacy can only be the product of stoner munchies borne from hitting an 8 foot snuffleupagus-shaped bong.

aw man, i used to go to marini's when i was little. it's got good stuff, but it's tyically-californian: expen$ive.

two EMT workers, yes, people who you depend on to save your life in an emergency situation, came in one morning. Both looked to be over 300 pounds and could barely breathe. They both got the 12 for $12 hot dog deal for lunch.

Ha Ha Ha!! I though I was having a heart-related episode 3 years back, and the Nurse was a COW.

300 pounds of flesh that leaned on my chest (38 B, 130 lbs., 5'6") while hooking up all EKG thingies to my chest and whatnot.

I actually had to (politely) say "I'm having trouble breathing here." Maybe she was trying to kill me. Thank God for witnesses.

And her alleged bedside manner would have given Dr. Mengele pause. "Zat beetch eez toff!"

However, the comedy of it cracked me up so thoroughly, I felt better. The EKG came back normal.

Britney prefers chocolate covered pork rinds. (Actually that sounds like something that would be on the menu at a Scottish pub)

Sweet Jesus! The only thing that would make this treat better is the boyfriend stuffing his face betwixt my thighs while I dine on the chocolaty, greasy goodness.

@Mrs.Kravitz-- I knew soy contained plant estrogens, which is why it's suggested for older women during and nearing The Pause (Mom hit hers), but yiiiikes!! Didn't realize they had THAT much estrogen in them! Guess we no longer need to wonder whether Moby is packing or not, even if he once was, he's not anymore :)

I love me some hickory smoked bacon. Out here in Delaware, there are Amish proprietors who have the best bacon ever. And cheeses, cakes, damn....I'm hungry.

Mr. Green Is Good is the master of cooking bacon. When I try to do bacon, I ALWAYS end up with charred bits and undercooked bits. I suck at making breakfast meats. It's an art. You either got it or you don't.

However, this choco-covered thing has me retching.

No, I meant omnivore, I have at least 2 veggies with my meat meal, save breakfast. I also eat Twinkies, which, as processed and preservative-laden as they are, I'm not sure technically qualifies as food.

LOL. I don't think Twinkies are a food, either. They are in a category all their own. Especially if you fry them. :)

Do you mean carnivores?
Anyway, I could see if you were a caveman, the need for meat for food and warmth.
But we have come a long way since then.
I don't eat tofu, either. There is no reason to.
And Soy is actually good, imo. And it's pretty healthy.

I didn't make it to the top of the food chain to eat lettuce. We evolved with the teeth we have so that we can be omnivores. I've got nothing but respect for vegetarians and vegans, but I see nothing wrong with eating meat. It's a hell of a lot better tasting than tofu and soy.

I've never read the books. A friend of mine passed that recipe on to me. I was skeptical, but she said it was good... And it is! With pork bacon anyway. I haven't tried it with turkey bacon or veggie bacon.
