It is yet again time for me to tempt you with my ridiculous creations and favorite dishes! Afterall, you need some substance to enjoy with the beer and games I recommend! ;D
Currently, I am munching on some crackers and some smoked cheddar cheese! I find that a lot of smoked cheddar can be soft or sweet in a way that really doesn't appeal to me, but this cheddar is my favorite (I get it at Vons and Safeway):

As for some of my fattier food creations, I came up with this beauty yesterday. I wrapped mini corndogs in bacon and used maple syrup as a dipping sauce. It was absolutely delicious. The crispy bacon added flavor and salt that was a perfect compliment to the warm, soft cornbread and hotdog. The maple syrup gave it that perfect sweet/salty combination and added some needed moisture!

Now, as for food other people make, my all time favorite is a sandwich from a small wine cafe in Vancouver, WA called La Bottega. I generally enjoy sandwiches, but they are far from my favorite food. La Bottega's creation completely surpassed any other food I have had. It is called the "giuseppe" and the description on their menu is:
GIUSEPPE Prosciutto Salami Fresh Mozzarella Roasted Garlic Mayo Tomato Basil Vinaigrette Ciabatta
Basically, it is a warm sandwich on ciabatta bread. The dryness of the bread is balanced by the mashed roasted garlic on the bottom and a thin layer of mayo on the top, as well as the juicy tomatoes within. The tomato, basil, fresh mozzarella and vinaigrette creates a caprese salad within the sandwich, which is a light, delightful taste that refreshes the mouth. The prosciutto and salami add salt and give a savory flavor that compliments the rest of the sandwich perfectly. There are only a few slices of salami, so it's flavor doesn't overwhelm the others. However, they don't hold back on the prosciutto, even though it is by far the most expensive ingredient, so the sandwich has a very satisfying amount of salty, savory meat on it!
Mmmm...
Road trip to Vancouver, anyone?

Dipping your french fries in your milk shake (before it's too melted) = goodness.

Bacon-wrapped scallops own you.

That looks like small deer shit.

Hey small deer shit is my favourite!

Thought this was going to be about that one Steve Jobs speech  Though now that I think of it, it was actually just "stay hungry[, stay foolish]".
Bacon-wrapped pork roast is the best by far though, imo.

Bacon goes with everything. It's win-win. Especially if it's Canadian Bacon.

It's as though Riku's life is some really lame version of Speed where if she doesn't post at least one terrible blog a day, her cats will die.
EDIT: Before you say anything,
1. I did not write this
2. I do not intend for it to be seen as a reference to this blog by itself (it seems decent but the fact that it is watered down by so many others makes it as good a place to post as any)
3. Despite my not being the author and it not applying to the current topic (beer and cheese, yum), I agree with the sentiment
4. Refer to JackMcCoy for further tips

Maybe theres like a secret code in these blogs and riku is actually being held hostage by some serial killer and trying desperately to alert the outside world of her location.
She posts them on tl because she knows we are the finest minds on the Internet.

Ever since watching Epic Mealtime I can't look at bacon the same way ever again.

God that sandwich is making my mouth water just reading about it. I ate a really good steak sandwich somewhere in Minnesota. Well prepared steak on home made bread with shoe string fries. Can't remember what the place was called but that was the best thing I've eaten in a long time. Now that I'm hungry, time to go eat some leftovers. fail.
