books are better than boys

My contribution to the 2nd Annual Bacon Party. BLT canape on homemade bacon-cheddar baguette with garlic aioli. I think that it’s safe to say that I knocked it outta the park on this one.

I learned two important things when preparing this dish. 1) Baguettes are not as complicated as you might think after reading a few (or thirteen) recipes you found on the internet. 2) Garlic aioli makes all the difference. I don’t know if I can go back to plain old mayo now.

This afternoon I was invited to two parties. A gnocchi party and a bacon party. Finger crossed that the invite for another whiskey party lands in my email tomorrow (Austin, I’m looking at you). Maybe we should also plan a workout party or a run a 5k party so that we don’t all gain 20 pounds this winter.

My friends are kind of the best. Just sayin’.
