PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Chocolate-Covered Bacon

(Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I should be working, but it's Friday, it's raining, I'm leaving early to go play with Krippy, and the Grey Lady has lots of fun articles today.)

I already blogged about this subject ... back in April. Looks like I'm not the only one who wished the ratio of bacon to chocolate in those Vosge bars was different.

Mmm … Bacon! (Of the Chocolate-Covered Variety)

"The creation was offered by Rhonda Kave, a chocolatier who started her shop, Roni-Sue, a year ago in Essex Street Market. She started selling it two months ago as part of her salty-and-sweet line, inspired by the chocolate and bacon bits bar offered by Vosge. That product, she said, did not have the right bacon-to-chocolate ratio for some people’s tastes. So they decided to dip the whole bacon strips. ... But so far, the chocolate-covered bacon, which sells at $38 a pound, has been among her biggest hits. One man comes in every week to buy half a pound for his daughter."

$38 a POUND!? That's crazy!

One of these days I'll make to the Chocolate Show. To a chocolaholic, it's like Valhalla and Neverland all wrapped up in cacao.
