Normally I post a recipe on Monday’s…and I post a lot earlier in the day! Obviously not today.
I had the day off from work, and after sleeping in, I spent the day with Nick and his friend (now my friend, too!) Erin! We headed off to Melt, for a late lunch/early dinner (it was a madhouse, but the food is well worth the wait).
I had my usual…Wake and Bacon
“fresh amish farmed fried eggs,crisp bacon, american”

Nick also had the Wake and Bacon, but added turkey to his.

And Erin had the special sandwich of the month: The Mighty Macaroni Melt …
“Homemade Macaroni and Cheese coated with seasoned breadcrumbs then fried to a delicious golden brown. Add more cheese! Choose your favorite.”
After we finished eating, we headed over to Whole Foods. I’ll give you one guess as to what I bought.
Any guesses?
That’s right…CHOCOLATE!!! I know- total shocker!!!
I found some new-to-me chocolates.
Starting from the left:
“Theo” Orange Dark Chocolate (70% cacao)
“Theo” Gingerbread Spice Milk Chocolate (45% cacao)
“Theo” Cherry & Almond Dark Chocolate (70% cacao)
Bottom:
“Equal Exchange Chocolates” Chocolate Caramel Crunch with Sea Salt (55% cacao)
I can’t wait to bust into these
Anyways…I’ll be back on Wednesday with a recipe!
Question of the day: Do you splurge on new-to-you items at specialty food stores? If so, what do you buy?


Adding their smoked turkey to the W&B was a great move, and I’m glad that I didn’t try the “Redemption” Chorizo and Potato w/fried egg.
I totally splurged on that tea today…well…you bought it for me, so I guess that you splurged for me
I don’t know- adding bacon and a fried egg to the Chorizo and potato hash sandwich, just might make things interesting!
Shhh…you’re ruining the impression that I only buy chocolate!!
I had such a great time today! I added the smoked Gouda to my Mighty Macaroni Melt. It was delicious!!
