I think this is the only picture of us from this vacation.

Pretty Girls!

They're BBBBAAAACCCKKKK!

OK, so I have good news and bad news.

GOOD NEWS: I found Pudding Pops!!!!!!!!!!!! As I meandered thought the isles of the Windmill Market in San Juan Bautista (taking my time, as to not rush back to work), my eyes fell upon the Popsicle section. I was looking for my favorite summer treat, BIG STICKS; they take me back to elementary school. On Thursdays, after hot lunch, they would sell Popsicles for $.25. I always got the Big Stick, the delicious flavors of pineapple and strawberry swirled together in sugary goodness.
Windmill market does not carry big sticks...but they do have pudding pops!

BAD NEWS: They are NOT good! :< Once the pudding pop discovery was made I rushed to pay for my lunch and headed back to the office to put my coveted pudding pops in the freezer before they melted. I ate my ham and cheese sandwich and then ripped into the box. What flavor would I try first? I decided upon the vanilla chocolate swirl. They were a different shape, and did not seem to have the beloved icy coating. I still had high hopes. Once I bit in to receive the full deliciousness, I was immediately disappointed. These were not the pudding pops I remembered. Sadness fell over my taste buds. I am left with only the memory of my sweet sweet pudding pops.

I guess our campaign to bring back pudding pops needs to be more specific...Bring back the GOOD ones! (sigh)
General Pudding Pop - signing out

We survived the Swine Flu!

Eggspert Decorating

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!! I thought I would share some of the beautiful egg creations of 2009. My mom made an Easter basket for me and Keith, she hand decorated eggs with our names on them.

After bunch, Easter afternoon, we all colored eggs again with my mom. Julie made the 'Keith egg' complete with, visor, green eyes and attached cell phone. Funny!!

Cupcakes Part II

The Cupcake Shop in Morgan Hill has made it's debut! Melissa made a trip there (X2) yesterday, only to leave with the last 2 cupcakes. (Her first trip there, she left with none) So we made a plan to guarantee cupcake success!



After some searching, I finally found the cupcake cubbie downtown. The place was painted with pink and white stripes with shabby chic decor - Very cute!
The cupcakes were pretty good! They were better than Kara's at Santana Row, but not quite a great as Sprinkles. The raspberry/vanilla and chocolate/marshmellow were both yummy, I look forward to trying the other flavors!

Pudding Pop Update!

First, I made the cook n' serve pudding, poured it into the Popsicle molds and froze it overnight. They looked really good in the freezer and I was very excited to see how they turned out.


They were very difficult to get out of the molds and I ended up breaking the blue one :<.



When I finally got it out, I was excited at the outer ice on the pop. However, I quickly discovered that it was NOT the icy coating we have all grown to love. To my disappointment, it did not taste like a pudding pop. It was just icy frozen pudding, not creamy, not delicious. Oh well, back to the drawing board!

Pour Some Sprinkles on Me... In the name of LOVE!

I did it! I had my very first Sprinkles cupcake! Did it live up to all the hype? OH YES! I have heard the Sprinkles cupcakes were the best, but really I thought how great could they be? I mean it is cupcake. I have been to Kara's in Santana Row, and Icing on the Cake in Los Gatos and were not impressed with their $4.50 cupcakes. (Although, Icing on the Cake does make many many other VERY delicious things!)But I have to say the drive to Palo Alto was SO worth it!

We celebrated Melissa's birthday yesterday, So, I decided to surprise her with her favorite cupcakes and, in addition, found a new love. I normally do not like red velvet, but their red velvet is so scrumptious! The vanilla is also another favorite! So if you are ever at/near the Stanford Mall, stop by and enjoy a little ball of sugary heaven! mmmmm
