Sugar!!!

Blog: Day 367, give-away at the end. 

There's this place in Chapel Hill that a friend recommended I take my mom to last summer. So we went. Then I kinda forgot about it.

That was the only time I'd been there. We ate one thing in one visit and we had a moment.

A moment of sheer deliciousness.

So, when people came to visit, and we drove by I had to take them. HAD TO. You know why? Because life is sweet. (I love that tag-line.) You know what we went for? You'll never guess.

Oatmeal
Cream
Pie

And it's not like the ones Ms. Debbie makes. Nope, not at all. However there are some comparisons. Like, it comes in a plastic bag.

And that's where it ends.

Because it's tied with this ribbon.

I'm talking about two soft, delicious, slightly cinnamon-y oatmeal cookies with a thick, tasty layer of honest-to-goodness-flecks-of-vanilla buttercream in between.

And we ate every last bite, even though we weren't hungry.
Just because of the deliciousness.

Dave went with the gelato. Mmmmmmmmm...gelato. It was his first time.

I'll put it out there: he didn't hate it.

Today the give-away is........


....in the spirit of complete randomness.....


.......a subscription to Food Network Magazine!

YAY! This is possibly my favorite non-personal mail I receive every month. It's a beautiful, fun, interesting, AMAZING magazine. And going with the random theme, you just have to answer this one, teeny, tiny question:

Would you rather...
eat meat for every meal (you could season it but you wouldn't get anything except meat, meat, meat) 
OR 
only get to eat gelato (assorted flavors) for every meal? 

HUH? Whadya think? Meat vs. gelato? AHHHHH!?!?!?!?!

Just let me know what you think.

Leave a comment, one randomly selected winner will be chosen. Comments will be closed at noon on Sunday (6/6).

Peace out!
