sometimes you think "ha ha this has been a pretty good and informative newsletter" and then you see the thin mint bacon-LT picture and just shake your head and laugh.

and then there's the post post script mayonnaise. what. the fuck.

He's a genius, a renegade, a madman. We can but bow before his superior crazy.

This one reminds me of the time my wife and I drove by the new dispensary at Belmont and Kimball and there were Girl Scouts (with moms) selling their cookies to all their customers coming in and out of the shop - pure genius!

I didn't NEED to be stoned to enjoy this, but it certainly helped with the giggles. How is it that my stomach hurts more than yours?

I used to think so too. Hubby got some for Xmas and will attest they are amazing. Ask Santa for a couple pair…just try. You’ll be hooked on em like Thin Mints. You have to budget to buy em once yer hooked (they do go on sale) but are worth it, honest. XO!!

In the UK Marmite do food collabs with everything, which is great because I love Marmite and it seems to go well with all the foods, yet, they haven't done a Marmite bacon OR a Marmite mayo (marmonaise?) which now seem like no brainers. MARMITE.

There's also a snickers shaker thing. I wonder how that would be on bacon.....

You know, I remember seeing that at one point, but it no longer seems to be on shelves. I know exactly which shaker you're talking about. The only sweet one we found that's still there is the Cinnadust!

I'm here for the food writing, but then you through something like this in and I lose it. " It is a good way to tell if the pool’s cold, though." :-)

our local chain (HEB) does a house-brand Churro-flavored bacon that I haven't been brave enough to try. I kind of assume it'll be better than the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Hormel stuff, but that's mostly based on me being happy with their other store-brand bacon and thinking it's not an outrageous combination.

Somewhere out there is a stoner whispering, “Thin Mint bacon BLT with Cinnamayo… he gets me.”
