New Discoveries

Best weekend ever.
Do you want the good news or the bad news first?
Bad?
Okay.

The bad news weekend discovery...
This weekend all I could think about was shopping at Clackamas mall, eating at Claim Jumper and enjoying a caramel covered apple from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.  Saturday we headed to Clackamas on a very important mission only to find.... wait for it.... the store I wanted to go to AND Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory are CLOSED!! This mall, with it's no name replacement stores, is going down the tubes.  The idea I had of ooey gooey caramel goodness mixed with candy and nuts blanketing a delicious apple {making this treat healthy} also went down the tubes.  Super big bummer.  I guess I'll have to make my own caramel apple and maybe I will cover it in Reeses.

The good news weekend discoveries...
1.  With the sadness and loss of my favorite chocolate store we did still enjoy a wonderful dinner at Claim Jumper and although I already knew this, so we'll call it a re-discovery, their cornbread is  A-mazing.  They must use crack and 5 pounds of butter cause I could eat 15 of these giant muffins!

 2.  Large amounts of Diet Coke in small time periods make me very HYPER! While at this same dinner I consumed 3 {or more} HUGE glasses in a matter of 20 minutes, Ben barely finished one glass.  I was very thirsty... I should have asked for a glass of water, but why would I do that when the diet coke tasted SO good?  I laughed {really hard}at Ben's jokes the whole way home, ran {literally} around the grocery store finding ingredients for Sunday dinner, and then zonked out as soon as I sat on the couch.  This is surprising because I have a diet coke every day and they never effect me, on second thought, maybe it was the crack from the giant muffin?

3. We are on a cinnamon kick. Hot Tamales and Hot Lips.  Cinnamon yummy-ness.  They're not even covered in chocolate and I still love them!

4.  I can make snickerdoodles!  {with this recipe of course} The best, most dangerous, discovery yet since this is my most favorite cookie in the entire world!  I can even make them mini sized - half the calories, all the goodness! Watch out world!

It seems that food {sweets and candy} have taken over my our blog.  Boring? Sorry.  I promise the next post will be minus all things food.
