Cupcake Love!

After a really truing but satisfying day yesterday I needed to treat myself to something decadent. I have been talking for a week now about wanting a cupcake. E had to run out for some milk and while he was there he picked up this outrageous cupcake from PW Market, from their gourmetcupcake line. Wooza! I was a little surprised by his selection but then again we have been together for almost 10 years so if anyone knows the combo to my bliss zone its E...Chocolate +Cupcake = happy happy Michelle. But not to fret I only ate half of this little chocolate lovliness and still on  the fence if I am going to nibble the rest today or give it to the littles

Coffee Break

Wasmotoring about town on my way too short lunch break and decided to pop into a buckys and pick up a nibble. Tall vanilla latte non fat with chocolate indulgence cookie. Yippee recafinating and chocolate. Wait, why does that make me so happy?

A Yummy Mothers Day Treat

A snap of me and a strawberry cone (a mother day treat) @ Snowflake in Milipitas. My mom , sis and myself headed to the San Jose Flea Market for the day. This was a stop we made on the way home.

9 Years & Counting

E and I celebrated our 9 year anniversary together on Friday. No, it was not 9 years of wedded bliss but 9 years together in this day and age is something to talk about , in my opinion. My sister came to care for the littles while E and I drive out to the city for some alone time. We made a day of it. We had lunch at Cha Cha Cha's on Haight. The food was outstanding, totally our type of down home ( well for us anyways ) cuisine. The mood was busy, the salsa music was pumpin' and the sangria was flowin. I really like this place and want to go back soon. Read my Yelp review of it here

After Cha Cha Cha's we did a kinda touristy thing and drove to fishermans wharf. not to check out the street vendors but to pick up a cupcake. Kara's Cupcakes it is both a sad but good thing you do not live near me!







The day ended up with us back in the East Bay to watch a total man movie, "The Fast and The Furious" but it was not as bad as I thought it was going to be. Happy Anniversary E. I love you!

So Cute and Yummy!

Date Night.. my turn to pick! I have been stalking this place on Yelp, Bitersweet Cafe and thats where our night ended but first we went to Faz in Pleasanton. I have never been to this place but wish I had know about it before. We were seated right away despite my attempt to use my open table app for my iphone( it worked but when we got there, we were seated right away!) The food was delish, we had fantastic wine flights, the presentation was tre chic and of course the vino was supremo.I had the pomegranate chicken, e had the swordfish.

After dinner we dashed over to Danville to check out Bittersweet, a chocolate cafe. Oh my G I felt like I died and went to chocolate heaven. I had a classic hot chocolate and a chocolate pecan macroon. There are so many different types of chocolate at Bittersweet, and yummy baked treats, and cafe drinks and did I mention I LOVE IT. It was a sweet way to end the night, but believe I will be back there to visit again.

Sweet Tooth

I had a rotten sweet tooth on Thursday. I had some time to kill and was on the face whether to go starbucks and grab a latte or something sweet. My good friend Jessica suggested I drive over the hill to Dublin and visit Denicas. I was up for an adventure and an outing so motored over the hill to see what I could find. I was pleased. A cute little shop with a delicious bakery. I picked up a cupcake and a rocky road brownie (for my love)and then headed home to pick up my littles after my sweet treat.
