Oh, For Fuck's Sake, People...

Are there really so many days where everyone in the world is romantic and loving that having ONE where those wonderful emotions are intentionally front and center is a bad thing? I THINK NOT.

CELEBRATE LOVE.

BE TOLD!

Happy Valentine's Day!

WHOA. I am sold. I am totally making that for the guys for brunch one of these weekends. Thank you!

And you're so right. At the very least, there is potential for injury which is something I feel is necessary for the end product to live up to its full delicious potential.

Heh. You should read Vanilla Garlic's story about homemade Exploding Churros. Put down your beverage first.

I kind of want to marry him RIGHT NOW. I thought things like that only happened to me. I nearly lopped off a finger with a can of water chestnuts last year and ended up in the ER to get put back together. I don't feel nearly so bad now. Thank you!

Garrett's a kick in the pants and one of the most adventurous food bloggers I've read.

Hey, don't feel bad about your kitchen adventures. I blew up my mom's gas grill when I was 9. The top of my (short) hair got singed enough to change the color from dark brown to light beige, but I didn't get burned anywhere. (And my eyelashes and eyebrows didn't get singed.) I'm still not sure how that happened.

I'm actually lucky I didn't get flattened since the cast-iron lid that blew off landed where I had been standing before I jumped back. The only lasting effect was a lifelong obsession with conditioning my hair.

I have to tell you both that watching this thread develop made me really happy!

Hooray for exploding churros!

OK. I just came across this recipe for bacon cheddar biscuits, and it also sounds good. Maybe a bacon-themed brunch?

Oh my gosh. I think I am going to make those TODAY. Let's have an LJ bacon brunch someday. We'll fly you in.

Sounds like a plan! I wonder if we can get [livejournal.com profile] shirtlifterbear to make creps with some kind of bacon-y filling?

I bet we can! I may also make Scotch eggs so that sausage gets its due as well.

I do a bacon-smoked gruyere crepe that is literally to die for.
