Valyentime's Day

That's what I used to call it.....I don't know why.

In honor of Valentine's Day, I thought I'd introduce you to some of my favorite sweets.

Duh.....here's Peter holding our new niece back in July. Irresistible I tell ya.

My friend Mindy reminded me how much I love Nothing Bundt Cakes. Yes, what a creative name I tell ya. They only sell Bundt cakes here...small and large. And, they have a wide assortment of cake stands. (Tiffany, if you're reading this, you should go.)
They are located in the Southlake Town Center on the Carroll side if you're interested. They have ALL kinds of flavors. I had the cinnamon swirl and it was magnificent! If you're looking to lose a few, don't go. :)

I LOOOOOOVE Hot Tamales. Love them with all of my heart. Well not all of my heart. Geez.

Next up......

JD's Chippery's COOKIES
I couldn't seem to find a website or a picture on the WWW of this amazing cookie factory! That's what I call it. It seems that every time I go they are always right out of the oven!!!! This place is located in Snider Plaza off of Hillcrest in Highland Park. You have to try it!!

SOUR PATCH KIDS! YUM. These have an always will be one of my favortie candy's. I used to get these when I would go to the movies. Now, I know how much they actually charge you when you buy food at the movie theatre. So, I stopped, regretfully.

These little gems look gross here on my blog, but let me tell you, I used to work at this very well known bakery in Abilene, Texas the summer before my last semester of college. I had a great time. And, much to my surprise, I was never hungry for sweets while working there. Hmm...but that all changed when I quit and got a real teaching job. There are many more things there that I love, but the Lemon Bars and the THUMB PRING COOKIES!!! UGHGHGHGHGHG! No words to describe them. If you live in Abilene, then you KNOW about the thumb prints! :)

I brought a package of these to work last month. They were wrapped in pink and were gone in a matter of days. :) WHOOPS.

I guess that's all that I will make you salivate with today....

Happy Valentine's Day!

Peter and I had a nice dinner and some wine at our favorite Italian resturant in Lewisville, Parma last night. He had a prior commitment this evening, and I wasn't going to make him miss.

A funny thing I was reminded about today.

S.A.D - Single's Awareness Day! Sadly, I probably used this term several times in my day, although now that I'm married I realize how not-so-important Valentine's Day really is.

But, I love it for the novelty sake anyways. I got flowers! :)
