food coma

after a weekend of eating, 

muffy and i are in a complete food coma!

we started our friday off with a trip to cold stone creamery

i had the new country time pink lemonade sorbet 

(so yummy) 

and muffy went with a classic of 

cake batter ice cream with reeses' cups mixed in

saturday we went blueberry picking

we picked over two pounds before 

she complained of heat exhaustion -- so we went to the beach!

where we met the ice cream man!

saturday night was a treat for me -- 

a fried seafood fest of lobster, shrimp and clams!

i love new england in the summertime, if only for the seafood!!!

it was "watermelon sunday" at church

(i don't know what that means except for there was 

watermelon served in the parking lot after the service!)

and we rounded off the weekend with 

scrumptious birthday cake for a dear little friend who turned three

i'm on a diet for the week!

hope you had a food-fabulous weekend too!

stilettos and strawberries

i am a heels-wearing girl. 

at 5'4", i need all the height help i can get!

my preferred heel is a wedge 

(no sinking into grass, no teetering on cobblestones or poorly-paved parking lots!)

don't get me wrong, i LOVE my flip-flops, but when the sweet mFw at http://prissyandpreppyflamingo.blogspot.com/ bestowed the stiletto award to me, i was so honored. not just because i can't live without my heels, but because of what it means (according to the award)

Classy – Strong -Exotic – Demure – Extreme – Ultra – Sexy - Bold – Funky

i'll take the classy and strong, for sure. 

thank you!

as for strawberries... i love them, too!

today is the day of our town's annual strawberry festival, and i'm taking muffy!

the downtown will be themed out with the delicious red berry...for sale in pints 

and my highlight: the shortcake!

it reminds me of one of my favorite childhood toys

who was recently redesigned for muffy's generation

still sweet as ever!

hope you're having a great day!

time for CAKE!

as a southern girl, i absolutely LOVE red velvet cake...
but up north there is just no place to find it!
most bakeries won't even TRY to make it.
that's why, i'm pleased to announce
the newest assortment of little debbie snack cakes

you know, those cute little cellophane-wrapped treats
mom used to pack in your lunch box?
well, say good-bye to the nutty bars and oatmeal creme pies
and meet my newest delight!

they're cute, sweet and little (at just about two-and-a-half bites)
and perfect with a cup of tea or a cappuccino!

go ahead...let us all eat cake!
