Souffles are hard.

I was trying to make lemon pudding cakes, but I messed up.  I made lemon souffles instead.  They looked really awesome in the oven.  By the time I found the camera (or R's phone), they were a tad deflated.

Such Fatties We Are

I haven't really been up for blogging lately because the weather sucks, there's no world peace, etc. blah.  I'm just having a few rough months.

But hey, I've been eating well.  I didn't say healthy or cheap.  What can I say? I'm an emotional eater.  I haven't had the due diligence to document these, but my husband has.  I was mostly in the background with fork in hand barking out orders.

Enjoy.

Cupcakes and Macarons!

Crappy cell phone pic. My bad.

Mission Minis - It's too hard for me to pinpoint each flavor.  The website has better pics anyway.  I ordered Aztec chocolate, Swiss almond coconut, double stuff chocolate, and red velvet.  Aztec chocolate was awesome.  Even more awesome is that they have day-old cupcakes for $5/dozen.

Can you believe this pic came from my husband's phone? Jealous.

I had a really bad week.  I needed macarons.  These are from Cocola Bakery.  They're not very significant in taste and are small.  I'd probably only buy Cocola macarons if I were desperate.

So yeah...

I've been feeling too uninspired to blog lately.  Sorry.

Went to LA for 2 days because my mom was feeling down in the dumps.  I offered to drive her anywhere she wanted to go, but I think she really just wanted to spend time with us.

I never noticed in all my trips to LA that most food prices aren’t that bad.  I think it's because of LA's proximity to central California's farms and because the Port of LA makes things a little cheaper.  I didn’t take a camera with me, but I did take lots of cell phone pics.  I’m not sure whether I want to spend my monthly 200 text allowance on uploading them here.  But I ate well. Very well.

And I had a french macaroon ice cream sandwich.  For only $4.50, it's 5x the size of macroons that I buy here!
