Well, I officially have one year left of my twenties! I better make it a good one :) Yesterday was my best birthday in the past six years. The kids and I spent the morning going to play dates and running errands. I was oh so excited that I was finally going to have a Sprinkles cupcake. The kids and I headed up to Scottsdale yesterday afternoon and got 4 cupcakes for $14.03. They better be good right!?! Hayden got the cinnamon sugar, Phedora a vanilla milk chocolate and two black and whites for Dan and I. We came home and Dan took the kids to the store to get stuff for dinner. The kids brought me some pretty daisy's.
For dinner, Dan made the moistest chicken breast I have ever eaten and seared scallops with the a butter sauce drizzle. The sauce was so light and refreshing with a hint of citrus and ginger. Mmmm it was delicious! He also made a crab risotto, stuffed mushrooms and steamed broccoli and carrots. Everything was wonderful. I am so happy that I have such a great hubby who loves to cook fabulous food. You all were missing out last night!Here's a few pics that I took during the preparation of dinner.
The finish plate. Sorry about the shadow. It was so good!Sprinkles Cupcakes...
They were dry and crumbly. They were not all that I had expected and then some and were definitely not worth the $14.03 we paid for them. But to give them the benefit of the doubt we bought them at 1 in the afternoon, they were probably made in the wee hours of the morning and we ate them at 7 at night. We are going to give them another try, but head up at open and eat it right then. But we both have had much better cupcakes before. They sure are pretty though and we didn't end up with a half a cake left to eat afterwards. So in the end it worked out.
All in all I had a great birthday, I just wish all of you could have been here with us.
