Gitcher Motor Runnin’

NASCAR.  Live and in person.  Michigan International Speedway. We have pit passes and our favourite drivers, #99 Carl Edwards (mine) and #48 Jimmie Johnson (Derek’s) will be there and are at risk of being stalked in a friendly way!  It is Father’s Day weekend and I won’t get to see my Dad on the actual day.  So Happy Father’s Day Pop – I love you.

And I’d like to share what I made for Derek in honour of Father’s Day.  It began with Erin Davis receiving a bouquet of bacon roses from an advertiser at CHFI.  Derek loves all things bacon.  So I thought, why not try chocolate-covered bacon roses?  Chocolate-covered bacon has been a hit at fall fairs and has that sweet-and-salty taste that’s so appealing to many people.  They turned out pretty well if I do say so myself.

They were a hit on the taste buds and were pretty easy to make.  Match that, Hallmark!

Michigan, here we come.
