Recipe-blogging

A lot of bloggers like to recipe-blog. I’m not one of them, because I’m a terrible cook. Maybe I’m not terrible, but I refuse to even try, so there’s no way to find out if I’ll ever be good at it. My only food-making abilities involve great scrambled eggs, a perfect PB&J, and good steak-grilling.

Fortunately, the official VM fiancee likes to cook. For Thanksgiving, she made this tasty number.

That’s right: bacon-wrapped dates with goat cheese. They were tremendous, combining the saltiness and texture of the bacon with the sweetness of the dates and, um, the glue-like nature of the cheese, which helped the little almond bits get stuck in our teeth.

And, that’s right: there’s actually a site called “iheartbacon.com“.

Living in Sin

Just as my last night of bachelorhood wasn’t exactly filled with strippers and belly-shots, our first weekend of living in sin was pretty laid back. Our main activity was watching flicks, leading to this truly bizarre assortment of Hollywood offerings:

So I Married an Axe Murderer

Showgirls

Kill Bill, Vol. 1

Sign ‘o’ The Times

Dodgeball

My Fair Lady

The Muppet Movie

Kill Bill, Vol. 2

We moved all of Amy’s stuff here on Friday, so now we need to sequentially unpack (and, of course, make room for stuff). I can’t wait till we get to the point where we finally figure out what to do with our two copies of the Stanley Kubrick Collection DVD set.
