First of all I just want to let you guys know who read this that I appreciate your support especially this past month. I am happy to announce all has turned out well for me and I have been offered a new position in the company that involves International work in Canada and the Caribbean! Same job, just new territories with exciting travel. I can’t tell you how excited I am about this. Technically it’s a lateral move but I feel it’s a promotion and it’s a direction I have always sought to go in. So I can take a deep breath now and get on with it.
To celebrate with a little snack before my Certain Someone comes home with celebratory take out, I made these little tasty snacks. Dates wrapped in bacon. No recipe needed. Just wrap your dates in bacon and secure. Bake on a high temp on a broiler pan to allow the fat to drain. Enjoy.

Wheee! I'm first! Congratulations! That's very good news and I'm really happy it worked out for you!
And I had no idea bacon wrapped dates were so easy. I had them for the first time at a tapas place Cafe Baborebop (or something like that) in Lincoln Park. Thanks for sharing how to make them!
You go girl! :)
Gratz, woman! Those lil' appies look hell of tasty. Mama likey. OOh, I want to stuff goat cheese inside the dates. They weren't fattening enough before. :P
In Canada eh? Look me up when in Toronto.
As for your apps...PHEW...I thought they were going to be bacon-wrapped chicken livers. Heather would still eat'em!
Congratulations, going to the Caribbean for work sounds very good!
Love the dates.
Thanks everyone.
Mary- You mean Cafe BabaReba :-)
Heather- Goat cheese sounds so good stuffed in these. Next go round.Thanks for the tip.
Peter- I have heard so much about the Canadan dining scene and I cant wait. All the mixes of cultures will be provididng me some good blogging tales. Will let you know when I finally get to Torornto.
Congrats!! It sounds so exciting. I'm very happy for you.
Oh those look so good and I am with Peter on the chicken liver things. The dates look much better and I might follow heather's idea and fill 'em with goat cheese!!!
Huge congrats on your news Well done! Dates wrapped with bacon sound interesting, I always wrap mine with liver. Yum!
Congrats!! I'm so glad that everything worked out. :)
Dates + Bacon is a combo I've never heard of but I bet it tastes delicious. I've seen a lot of bacon/sweets entries around the blogosphere lately that are making me rethink my perceptions of pork.
Congrats on your promotion! Happiness is the most important thing. I'd love to hear more about it.
Enjoy the food with the German boyfriend.
Congratulations are definitely in order Glamah :D I hope it all works out for you :D I have also tagged you for a MEME.

I put an almond in the middle of the date and then wrap it. I love bacon wrapped dates! Congrats on the job move. Cant wait to see some carribean pictures
Congratulations! I can't imagine having a job where someone would pay me to travel. I would think I had died and gone to heaven!
