Choose Love

Love, 

let's talk about it.

Specifically, my love of brie. 

Also, bacon.

And....basil.

Maybe some waffles and maple syrup, too.

Hey, here's an idea: 

let's just pile all those things on top of one another. 

And voila - a crazy-brilliant combo is born.

I want it, of course. Urgently.

You should, too - trust me. And guess what?

The Ridgeback Cafe & Market invented this bacon/basil/brie-awesomeness, 

and they call it the Triple B.

It gets better.

This enchanted palace of waffles and crepes is just a few blocks from our house. 

Given my complete lack of will power, 

this could be dangerous.

So, The Russian and I have resolved to go only when it's just the two of us 

{which means practically never}.

Reason being: kidlets.

In the case of small, city-type cafes, sometimes five can be a crowd 

{an adorably rambunctious, syrup-slinging crowd}.

But back to love.

As you may know, Valentines Day is around the corner.

During this brief 24-hour span of time, sentiments of adoration are often expected.   

Typically, these sentiments involve spending copious amounts of money on 

sub par chocolate and drooping roses.

Or...you could choose to forgo the conventional offerings 

and opt for waffle-bacon-brie-basil bliss.

Yes. Do that. 

This Valentines Day {or any day, really}, 

choose love...

...the sublimely delicious kind. 

Because I'm pretty sure bacon speaks louder than words, anyway.
