Other Cookies and Datiles con Bacon
Since I wasn't able to point you toward a good cookie recipe this week, here's C&Z with many suggestions. I'm done. C'est fini with the baking.
If you are interested in bacon, however, I have useful information. Direct yourself to The Spotted Pig, where I hear the bar serves pears and prunes wrapped in bacon. Also, if you missed it in Flickr, we stumbled across bacon-wrapped dates in various SUPERMARKETS in Spain. So, I am not crazy, I was just experiencing some nostalgia last summer.
Supermarkets in Spain are really such wonderful places. Part of the reason we rented an apartment instead of a hotel room was so that I could let loose at the market and buy all of the perishable things -- meats, vegetables, fish, cheese, and bring it home. Since our many social activities got in the way, I ended up carrying most of it from place to place until I decided in Hondarribia that my bag wasn't masking the anchovy smell so well anymore. Next time, we need a month in Spain so I can buy more stuff -- like the cheap olive oil for cooking, or all of the different kinds of yogurt we don't have here, etc. I wanted so badly to buy the larger items during our last supermarket visit there... at least Despaña had a good sized tub of Cola Cao.

you're not crazy... I may have told you about that concoction. I make bacon-wrapped dates and figs all the time. They are awesome, as is pretty much anything with bacon wrapped around it. Now I'm thinking of bacon-wrapped anchovies. Weird?
