OK, stay with me here. See, a bacon cheeseburger? That's for wimps. No, what we need is a bacon burger - a burger...made out of bacon!

And if that's not enough, you've got to put cheese in the middle of the patty.

Then, you've got to dip it in beer batter and deep-fry that sucker!

Finally, add cheese on top, and there you have it: The Bacon Burger 2.0!*

Wow. I just realized I haven't really posted much of substance for a couple of weeks. We hosted a kickass New Years Eve party from December 29th through January 2nd; everyone seemed to have a great time and we really enjoyed ourselves as well. Amusingly, the hotel called takaza on the 3rd asking if we wanted to book for next year. I guess this means they like us a lot!

We limped through the rest of last week at a severe sleep deficit, and had a truly lovely weekend of doing pretty much nothing but vegging on the sofa and watching a whole lot of Tivo. On Sunday we did a spot of shopping, stocking up for the week's groceries as well as attempting to fill our shiny new freezer (hah! That'll take a while). It was really nice to have a couple of nice, quiet days of enjoying each other's company and ratcheting down the stress levels.

This week has been relatively unexciting as well, though last night I had a lovely dinner with moryssa, talking over Midwest FurFest-related things. I also took the opportunity to swing by Woodmans and pick up a few things I can't easily find at our local grocery store, specifically cinnamon chips, as well as caramel chips and peanut butter chips from a regional company, and some Callebaut semisweet chocolate chips, just because :-) I see some fun baking in our future!

We don't have a lot planned for the rest of the week. We hope to get to a birthday party on Saturday, and then Sunday is the first Midwest FurFest staff meeting of the new year. That should be a good meeting; I'm hoping that we can go ahead and assign what functions are going to be where in the new hotel as early as possible this year, and that'll be a good start for the process.

Time to wrap up before heading home!
