Day 973 – Roasted Nuts

Today, I made some brussel sprouts in butter with garlic and other spices added. Bret stole a bite and loved it. He’s lucky he got that! I love brussel sprouts. Mmmm. Anyways, he then wanted to try roasting nuts. He added honey, a little bit of garlic, butter, oil and brown sugar. They were very delicious! Then a little later he had the idea of grinding them up. THEN he had the idea to make granola bars. He added oats, more honey, brown sugar, the nut mixture and butter. AMAZING! Ah. He needs to test stuff out more often. I didn’t get a picture of the granola bars because we ate them too fast! But I did get the nuts!

Day 971 – Joe’s Crab Shack with a Nearly Lifetime Friend

Today I got to see one of my dear friends (who I have known since I was about 5/6), Tif! She was also the one I went to Las Vegas with. We tried out the new Joe’s Crab Shack in Bel Air. Very tasty! I’m still full and we ate 2 hours ago! Oi!

While I didn’t get any pictures of the food (which was way more than 2 people should eat), I did get some pictures of the signs around the restaurant!

Day 964 – Cupcakes Within 5 Minutes of My Home, Good News or Bad News?

If you have read my blog for any amount of time, you know I am crazy about Flavor Cupcakery. Bret is crazy about them too. They are a luxury item for us, which we don’t mind indulging in. It’s been easy to ignore the posts on my newsfeed EVERYDAY showing the flavors of the day. Tasty pictures. Ah. I’m drooling thinking about it.

Anyways. As I was flipping through my newsfeed, I got some news….I still haven’t decided if it’s good or bad.

Flavor Cupcakery is opening a new location around the third week of April. Where? Oh you know, 10253 York Road, Cockeysville, Maryland. Just minutes of my home. It’s almost close enough to walk to.

So, while I decide if it’s good or bad news, here’s one of my favorite pictures of their beautiful, amazingly, wonderfully, awesome cupcakes.
