If I Lived in a Loft
I hope my front door would look something like this:
My friends and I would hang out at this corner:
The bedroom, tucked upstairs, will be a secret hideout:

(Figs) Dates Wrapped In Bacon
plus
equals
Want to hear something funny? When we bought the box of dates at Trader Joe's I thought we were buying figs fully intending to wrap them in bacon and bake them. I even served them to my friend Jenny and told them they were figs. What was I thinking? She was too polite to correct me, I'm sure.
Anyway I cut the bacon in half, wrapped them around each date and baked them for 15-20 minutes at 400 degrees. Instant delicious hors d'ouvres.
Even though they are dates instead of figs. It works even without the blue cheese.
