Too Much Of A Good Thing

It is a universal truth that fat kids like cake. I am kind of chunky henceforth I like desserts... usually. But last night I went to a Holiday Martini tasting at a local watering hole. I have been to the wine and beer versions of this tasting and they were fabulous. Unfortunately, said watering hole decided to pair super sweet martinis with desserts for all five courses. The Sugar Cookie martini got paired with... a fancy sugar cookie. The Gingerbread martini came with a chocolate gingerbread mousse. Five sickly sweet martinis accompanying five super sugary desserts. By round three, my entire party was making plans for a burrito run. Nothing like cheesy, salty, greasy goodness to cut through all that sweetness.

Remind me to never allow my husband-photographer to take a picture of me from the kneeling position. Bad angle.

Even the poor gingerbread man is drowning in sugar.

Trying to plow through the Sugar Cookie martinis. This is only Round 3.

Pop Art Redux

Andy Warhol must be doing a jig in his grave because his 15 minutes of fame keep rolling on. I was trolling the aisles of Target when I stopped with a gleeful yelp and whipped out my phone to take a picture of this:

Commemorative Pop Art Campbell Soup Cans!!!

So, of course, I bought them. All four of them.

 

 

 

 

 

 Now I just need to convince the members of my household that these are art (dammit!) and therefore not meant to be consumed. It isn't looking so good for ol' Andy. Upon the cans' unveiling, I was met with blank stares and the question "Who's Andy Warhol?"
