That’s it, cupcake, you’re going down. ~Rick Riordan

There is nothing more sobering to the food-drunk than seeing a particular 2-digit number in an email that refers to the size of a dress you need to order for a wedding in four months’ time. There’s a word for that number that you really weren’t expecting to see, that word is: Yikes.

[I know there are some clothing stores that size a little smaller, but still, I say again: Yikes.]

So when we stopped in the best cupcake place in DC, and I saw the sight for the Flap Jack cupcake and the counter guy asked if I wanted candied bacon on it and the noise that came out of my mouth was absurdly primal (Quote “AW YEAHHHHHH.” Unquote), I knew that I was going to enjoy it. And that it would be the last cupcake I had for a very. long. time. And that cupcake went down good. With milk. That ‘Uniporn Rain Hos’ cupcake though:

Yikes. 

[Hope Mother’s Day was like candied bacon and uniporn rain hos.]

I’ve waffled before. I’ll waffle again. ~Howard Dean

I decided that one last brunch was in order, so on my way out of town I plugged ‘waffle’ into my GPS and ended up at The Waffle. Ordered one of their signature ‘baked-in’ waffles with housemade blueberry sauce and lemon curd. So good. Never get tired of waffles.

Can’t wait until the next time I waffle! For Mother’s Day I’m making buttermilk waffles or cornmeal waffles. Or maybe both…

Condiments are like old friends-highly thought of, but often taken for granted. ~Marilyn Kaytor

Saw something about random condiments on another blog and decided to poke around the fridge and see what we had. The answer? A ton of things that are probably almost as old as I am and have only been used once or twice max.

So many different uses and tastes, all fascinating once first purchased but after the initial enthusiasm wears off they all sit there in the cold dark until we feel inspired.

[Random, but how many mustards does one need? There’s moutard, honey mustard, yellow mustard, grainy mustard, brown mustard, cranberry, dijon, and… whatever dijonaise is.]
