birthday proposal

2007-07-24T08:21:00.000-07:00

folks, in response to jason's workplace's debacle of a birthday "celebration"
(though i'd never say no to ice cream cake / happy birthday, jason),
i propose a new treats club tradition.
we should announce members' birthdays
if they happen to fall in the treats month we are celebrating.
coincidentally, my birthday is next month
so i happen to be one of the first beneficiaries of this new tradition.
sorry you can't be there, kara.
anyway, i like this idea
because what is sweeter than sweet treats?
birthday treats!

i am justice and my word is law.

Rosa Mexicano Summer Ice Cream Festival

2007-07-02T15:58:00.000-07:00

My favorite Mexican restaurant in New York, Rosa Mexicano, is having a Summer Ice Cream Festival. Apparently, they have done this before, but this is the first time I'm catching wind of it. I saw it listed wrong on going.com -- scheduled for this week. I called the restaurant to confirm and found out this year's festival will be some time in August. Keep a look out!! Check out this old menu...

are treats too sweet?

2007-06-20T11:06:00.000-07:00

hao sent me this link to a new york times article talking about pastry chefs who refuse to be sweet. i don't know about you, but after a savory meal, the perfect ending is a sweet treat.

The Prez and first lady stepped up big over the weekend and brought me an assortment of Sour Patch Kids for my 31st Birthday. The event was also celebrated throughout the weekend with 2 batches of Peach Cobbler, chocolate chip Rice to Riches (where I think we should def have a meeting sometime) and cupcakes from Magnolia. Just wanted you all to know that I brought in my 30s with decadence!!!

hot eats, cool treats

2007-06-19T09:28:00.000-07:00

you know, when i was driving back from said family reunion (the one with the fountain) i saw a really old school billboard in the middle of nowhere pennsylvania for dairy queen. and it said "HOT EATS, COOL TREATS". that was a good one. remember that? and they make the hot eats all sizzly looking? and cool treats is like a brrrrrrrrr looking font. mmmmmmm.

What's up, dogs?
I just wanted to say I ate a cupcake last night on the drive home from Philadelphia.
It was delicious and sweet.
Someone got it for me, so I don't know where it came from,
but aren't those the sweetest cupcakes of all?

the chocolate fountain

2007-06-13T10:28:00.000-07:00

long time reader first time blogger. thanks jin for setting this up.

i wanted to take a minute to tell you about the family reunion i was at this past weekend. i drove out to the middle of nowhere in pennsylvania, and gorged myself on treats all weekend. someone brought a CHOCOLATE FOUNTAIN!! can you believe it? the fountain was in the middle of the table, and all around it were things to dip in the fountain. some of the things i dipped were: graham crackers, strawberries, marshmallows, choc chip cookies, potato chips, a brownie, some raspberries, and my fingers.
that's all. thanks for reading.
love, kara
