Why Does Chocolate Get All The Press?

Death by chocolate is myth
This I know because I lived
I’ve been around for broken hearts and how
Lay your head in my hands little girl
This is only right now
~ Lyrics from Death By Chocolate by Sia Furler

This is my second photo for consideration for the Single Frames Stories blog challenge this week. If you don’t follow my blog, the idea is to create a story in a single frame, based on the keyword of the week. You can add up to 140 characters of text. This week’s cue is “Vanilla”. I’ve given myself a second challenge for this week: create at least three interpretations and let you decide which one I should enter.

Decisions, Decisions

I’m keeping my word to myself and I’m going to enter the Single Frame Stories blog challenge again this week. The prompt this time around is “Vanilla”. Oh, so many ways to interpret that! And I’ve decided I’m not going to limit myself; instead, I’ve set myself another challenge – to create at least three possible entries this week then decide which one (or all) to enter.

Of course, when I think of vanilla, I think cupcakes. But I also think of chocolate. What a delicious decision to have to make!

So which one did I choose?

Did you expect anything different? 😉

Stay tuned for more Vanilla blogs during the week. When I get at least three interpretations, I’ll run a poll (if I can figure out how to do one!) and let you decide what my entry should be.

And On The Seventh Day, God Created…

Yep, people who know me knew it was gonna happen. I even hinted at it a while ago on my Facebook page. My two favourite food groups are Cupcakes…and Bacon 😉 Combine the two and you’ve got a recipe for OMGreatness!

While there has been an explosion of bacon memes on the ‘net, I can proudly say I was a bacon lover long before it was “the” thing to love.

As an expert and connoisseur, I’ve decided to share two important bacon facts with you.

1. If you truly love bacon, you wear it with pride.

But more importantly:

2.Always, always, ALWAYS wear an apron when you’re cooking bacon!

“You don’t have to say a thing except yes. You don’t have to do anything, either, I’m quite willing to plan it all.”
“You?”
“Yes me.”
“You’d plan all of it? Even the wedding?”
“Why not?”
“You don’t even like to plan your own breakfast.”
He grinned. “You mean more to me than bacon.”
“More than bacon? I’m honored.”
“You should be, my foolish pea brain.”
