Food Adventures #3: Cheesy Bacon Ranch Pull-A-Parts and Vodka Gummy Worms

Cheesy Bacon Ranch Pull-A-Parts: I have found a new addiction and it's name is Pinterest.com The crafty shit and the shit about nails and girly motivational posters don't really interest me. The recipes, however, did catch my eye and one that seemed to pop up everywhere, multiple times on the Pinboard was the recipe for cheesy bacon ranch pull-a-parts. People were swearing up and down that this was 'crack bread' and they were amazing.

Basically, do the following: get a loaf of bread. Cut it in every direction- but don't go through the bottom crust. Stuff cheese and bacon bits into the cracks. Pour a delightful mixture of butter and ranch dressing mix over the whole loaf, wrap in foil and cook for 15 minutes or so. Unwrap it and cook for 10 more and bam, you've got the supposed 'crack bread.'

And it was delicious. But maybe it was the bread or maybe it was the cooking time or maybe it was the cheese- but I was curiously underwhelmed. I might, at some point in the future take another run at these things, but for now the verdict is 'good' but not 'crack bread.'

Vodka Gummy Worms: Another Pinterest find and deceptively simple to make. Get vodka. Get gummy anything- worms, bears, whatever. Get a jar or a thing of tupware. Place gummy whatever in jar or tupware. Drown them in vodka and leave them for 3 to 5 days. Delicious alcoholic gummy whatevers will result. They're a little strong- but worth the wait.
