Check out the adorable and yummy cupcakes from a good friend's baby shower this weekend. I tried the red velvet cupcake with fondant monkey face at the baby shower...delicious...right down to the fondant. Cupcakes in attendance: chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, vanilla cake with butter cream frosting, red velvet with cream cheese frosting and cookies and cream cake with frosting to match. South Indian cuisine was served for the appetizers and lunch...delicious as well! At the end of the shower we were all asked to fill a blue polka dot bag of candy from a blue themed candy buffet. Various glass vases were filled with blue rock candy suckers, blue M&Ms, blue vanilla flavored Tootsie rolls, white chocolate covered pretzels with blue drizzle, It's a Boy! suckers and blue saltwater taffy. There were even leftover cupcakes for us to take as well...a vanilla with butter cream frosting made the trip back to my apartment. Tasted even better the next day!

Chicago Gourmet
Last weekend we went to Chicago to visit Cupcake, and sample food & wine at the excellent Chicago Gourmet. I knew we were in for a good time when they handed me a wine glass on the way in. From that point, until we left at five hours later, it was non stop tasting and "tasting".
Great location—Millenium Park
I looks like a burger, but it's an itty bitty bite sized steak
Scallop and corn salsa
Braised short ribs (like butta)
Waiting for the delicious... the lines were short and fast
More meaty goodness. Note to the organizers, more veggies next year please
At this point we couldn't stop eating, I had to eat it... they gave it to me!
This was the only thing I didn't like... it was a panna cotta of weirdness. If it were on a menu it would be called "Mouth Surprise"
Not sure what this was. I see some meat and other things.
This was dessert part 1
This was what happened when the green dessert jumped off my plate, landed face first and slid down my shirt. Alcohol had nothing to do with this incident.
Nice view. I could hang out here every weekend eating and drinking
The best thing the day after a gourmet bender—Mimosa's and mexican breakfast
Side of bacon, side of heaven

Cupcake Homage
As if any more proof was required that Monte lives a charmed life—here it is! While the rest of us work, he's out partying with the neighbours, collecting cookies, swimming in pools and inspiring cupcakes in his image. What a life.
Since he can't say thank you, I will. To all the neighbours who have spoiled Monte with treats, affection and humbling generosity—thank you, thank you, woof woof. I know he appreciates it, and now demands the same treatment at home.
Cupcakes compliments of the very talented Zabeda Wood, of Fillings & Frostings. More pictures after the link.
It really does look like Monte... who also looks like Alf.
He couldn't resist licking himself.

Italian fish soup
This is a great recipe, based on Italian Fish Soup. We added leeks, fennel and fresh fish of the day. Monk fish, scallops, calamari and clams. For dessert, cupcakes from The Cupcakery!
