God Bless Regular Mark...

It's no secret that I love bacon. And what is a more thoughtful gift for someone than something they love? I can't think of anything. I'll start this story by rewinding back to last summer when Sean and I threw a BBQ reception to celebrate the fact that we were secretly married with no witnesses. We may not be the typical wedding type of couple, but we do like to party. So we had the BBQ, and our friends brought gifts (an overwhelming amount of gifts that still makes me emotional when I think about it, thanks again everyone!) The morning after the party Sean and I were off to a cute little B&B in Plymouth, MA to have a mini-moon (this is where we took the awesome photo that became our Thanksgiving card). So, we figured the presents could wait to be opened when we got back. Upon our return we discovered that our friend Regular Mark had gone to the trouble to make us CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON! I was so excited and moved by this meaty gesture, that I almost forgot that it had been sitting in our living room for 4 days. In June. Oops. So, of course we couldn't eat it. And I had to tell Regular Mark how we neglected the gift he took the time to make for us. I felt bad. BUT! This story ends happily!


For a Christmas gift, our wonderful friend Regular Mark, one upped himself! He gave me, I mean us! He gave US a dreamy bacon gift basket, including more homemade CHOCOLATE COVERED BACON!
And a close up... Oh MY GOD was it good! Are you kidding me? If I wasn't already married to Sean, I'd get married to Regular Mark's chocolate covered bacon. If it was a boy of course. I haven't tried the bacon soda yet. I wanted to save it for a special occasion... like New Year's Eve! You can ring in the new year with champagne if you like, but I'll be poppin' bottles of bacon soda. In fact, I think my resolution will be to eat more bacon.

GOD BLESS YOU REGULAR MARK! XO.
