MENTAL STATUS: "Pleased". Getting a lot of writing done, Mother's Day is coming up, and we're going on vacation soon.
FAST DRAFT PROGRESS: 8 pages yesterday! Yeah, I know, still not goal, but don't be a Captain Bring Down on me.
Hey, all you Moms--or those with mothers: Um, are you asking for anything in particular this Mother's Day? Did you get your mommy something special?
My mom is really hard to buy for. She has EVERYTHING. I'm not just saying that either. And things she doesn't have, she wouldn't want. So it forces me to get creative--but not too creative. (She's very practical, too)
Well, I opted for something easy this year. I sent a card and ordered flowers. Not just any flowers--organic flowers. One dozen Crown Majesty Pink Organic Roses, to be exact. :) Seeing that my mom barely remembers I have a website let alone a blog, I feel safe posting it here.
I haven't asked for anything for myself. Chocolate is always welcomed, though. Good chocolate. You know, in a fancy box with fu-fu frilly wrapping. That's right up my alley. Hubby, do you see this? Hint, hint.
Then I saw this: Chocolate Covered Bacon.
Now, if you can get beyond the laughter, I suppose it's a pretty novel idea. I mean, I like chocolate. I like bacon. Why not? But then again, I like tuna and I like ice cream, but that doesn't mean I want that combo whipped together as a delicacy.
Would you try chocolate covered bacon? Have you ever had any other crazy food combinations?

No
on the cholocate covered bacon. No weird combos although I have eaten weird stuff: Haggis and alligator for instance.
My mom has passed but she always said all she wanted was good kids. There were nine of us and we always laughed and asked what was her second choice.
Both of my boys make things at school so it is a surprise every year. My husband makes sure the kids get me something because he wants them to learn to do it on their own someday. (My mother-in-law trained her son very well.)

try it, try it and you may I say
LOL! (Sorry for the Dr. Seuss moment) But I think I would definitely TRY chocolate covered bacon. At the risk of strange looks I can't see here anyway, I honestly don't think that sounds that bad. LOL
Angel: Yes, your m-i-l has trained her son well! Lucky you!
Happy Mother's day!

I don't know
I might. I heard a saying once "I'll try anything twice, if it doesn't kill me the first time". I think the weirdest combo I ever put together was a cheese whiz, pickle, tuna sandwich.
My sister usually sends me a fruit basket.

Hey, Christa, you can make me a sandwich like that any day.
My mom (who eats organic) made me a really weird sandwich that I've come to love. No moans from anyone. It's tofu, sauerkraut, tahini on toasted rye bread. It's REALLY good.

Chocolate covered bacon? I
Chocolate covered bacon? I would probably try it just to say I did, but I don't know...

Sorry I'm Not willing to try
I mean I really like bacon and I enjoy a good piece of chocolate now and again, but NO I won't try that. My husband is at the computer behind me and I asked him (he is a very serious chocoholic) and even he is not willing to try that combo. I will try just about everything...chocolate covered ants and grasshoppers, alligator, rattle snake, almost anything, BUT I know what bacon tastes like and I know what chocolate tastes like.......yuck......

I'd give it a try....
It sounds weird but heck I'll give almost anything a try once. I usually send pictures for mother's day, dd's b-day is in April and the school's do a spring photo thing now, so I have new ones to send. This year I upped it by sending my mom and mil a 1gb datastick full of pictures and videos of the kids taken over the past year. I figured they'd both enjoy it since this assignment has us so far away.

I think chocolate covered
I think chocolate covered bacon might not be that bad . . . I've enjoyed bacon with maple syrup when they combine on my plate, so the sweet/savoury combination can work.
Chocolate covered bacon?
That's for all those newly transitioned vampires in the Black Dagger Brotherhood inJR Ward's novels! They always crave bacon and chocolate! :-) I specifically remeber Butch saying "Except I don't like chocolate" and V's response "you do now!"
