Livin': Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka
Here's a lil' sumthin' to wash down that chocolate covered bacon. It's a 70 proof concoction of American Sweet Tea and Vodka. Actually it's sweet tea flavored vodka. Perfect for those hot, sunny afternoons pitchin' horshoes and crankin' the Hank. We'll admit we were a little skeptical at first. Not really all that keen on flavored liquor, seein' how they're pretty much chick drinks. The only additive gettin' into our bourbon is ice. And not that much of it. But we gotta tell ya, this is one refreshin' tonic for whatever ails ya. Sweet southern tea with a nice little kick in the pants. My sister gave me a jug for my birthday this year. I put it on the shelf and forgot about it for a few weeks. Then after a day of cuttin' & draggin' brush in the hot Florida sun, I decided to give it a whirl. Grabbed a tall glass full of ice, a lemon and a knife and wandered down to the dock to sit and sip. Sweet Jesus, I'm a believer. Just don't be runnin' off an tellin' the folks at Woodford Reserve. She's still my main lady.
Try it as an "Arnie Palmer" - one to one with some fresh squeezed lemonade. Available in all 50 states by March. Click here to find out where you can buy it. Made at the Firefly Distillery, thirty miles South of Charleston, South Carolina. Thanks fellas, ya done real good!

Eatin': Mo’s Bacon Bar
Quite possibly the world's most perfect food! If ya haven't tasted this lil' sucker, you haven't lived. From the beautiful mind of Katrina Markoff and her wonderful company, Vosges Haut-Chocolat, comes Mo's Bacon Bar. Applewood smoked bacon + Alder wood smoked salt + deep milk chocolate, and boasting 41% cacao (that's the fancy way they're ratin' top-shelf chocolate these days.) Here's the lowdown on how they ended up with THE two great tastes that taste great together!
"I began experimenting with bacon + chocolate at the tender age of 6, while eating chocolate chip pancakes drenched in Aunt Jemima® syrup, as children often do. Beside my chocolate-laden cakes laid three strips of sizzlin' bacon, just barely touching a sweet pool of maple syrup. And then, the magic—just a bite of the bacon was too salty and I yearned for the sweet kiss of chocolate and syrup, so I combined the two. In retrospect, perhaps this was a turning point; for on that plate something magical happened, the beginnings of a combination so ethereal and delicious that it would haunt my thoughts until I found the medium to express it—chocolate.
From there, it was just a matter of time…and what began as a love of salt and sweet quickly unraveled into an obsession. No sooner could I wait to unveil the royal coupling in solid bar form, a deep milk chocolate with bits and pieces of applewood smoked bacon and just a sprinkling of Alder salt. Really, what doesn't taste better with bacon?"
– Katrina Markoff
Available at vosgeschocolat.com. $7.50 a pop, but worth every finger lickin' cent.
