Honey Vanilla Latte

The Pink Foodie assures this is the perfect combination of vanilla and honey. This special drink was found at the Urth Caffe in West Hollywood. This even sounds good to me...being the non-coffee drinker I am. Too bad I'm 1,500 miles away. {reserved}

Sweet Little Thing

This past Wednesday I had the opportunity to participate in the Iowa State University Foundation Women and Philanthropy luncheon. The speaker and food was delightful, but what I really loved was the dessert. It was in a very small martini glass, with a very tiny spoon, but filled with big tasting vanilla mousse, pound cake, a slice of chocolate, and whipped cream. The perfect size of sweet after a nice meal. {available}

The Cookie Dance

Earlier this week I offered to take a co-worker home, but had to pick up my husband from his office on the way. When I went in to get him I noticed a box full of m and m cookies on his desk. The pre-dinner pains struck as I grabbed two of them. I walked back out the door with a cookie in each hand, then did a happy dance for my co-worker so she could share the delight in my found treasure. {okay, it was a long day} {available}
