Outings

I'm a little behind on blogging, so I had to combine a few things we've been doing under the heading "outings". So- a few nights ago we went to this cupcake place called Gigi's. It was so super good and really hit the spot! I totally recommend going there- they have like 20 different flavors that change according to the day. (IE: Chocolate malt, Italian cream wedding cake, cookies and cream, Mallow cream, Peach cobler, texas milk chocolate, southern comfort, etc) Pictured below is Midnight Magic- only drawback was a little too much frosting- BUT that it worked out perfectly that we have a little frosting monster living in our house, so any extra frosting was quickly taken care of!



There is a new culinary arts school a couple miles away. One of my dreams is to attend Culinary arts school... this one had an open house and the students and instructors made all this delicious food for you to sample! It was all free, and all yummy! (This is a real pig, I do like ham, but I think if I would have breathed in and smelled the scent of this I would have been sick)

We finally went to see the ducks that live in the fountain of the peabody hotel. Each morn. the ducks are marched out to the lobby fountain. They spend the day there, and at night the Duck master comes out, rolls out a red carpet (and stairs) and marches them out of the fountain, into the elevator, and up to their night quarters.

I would love to go to culinary school - or at least take some fun classes - do they offer them to the public?
