    Wow everything looked great! So the cannoli donut, is it just marscapone filled? Amber I love that the S'mores cupcake has chocolate icing AND the toasted marshmallow...

    It was a ricotta filling which was nice as it wasn't overly sweet.

    The brownie while it looked really pretty, after 1/4 of it I couldn't eat anymore.

    Re: Nutella. I was surprised how much was in the crepe. I never really have had any since I started weighing food, so no solid idea what 10 or 12 grams looks like, but I would venture a guess that there were a lot more than that! My wife couldn't even finish it.

    It's about 2/3 tbsp. So I imagine so. :)

    I had the cookie dough cupcake tonight. I am a huge fan of the cookie dough filling. I kinda think filled cupcakes are gimmicky and I didn't expect to really like it, but I have to admit, I'm converted. It was really really good. But I'm not such a huge fan of the cookie dough icing. It has flour in it, presumably in an attempt to make the flavor as much like cookie dough as possible. But I don't think I like it. I think just butter, brown sugar, vanilla, and powdered sugar would be better.

    Then I am going to guess that my wife's crepe contained a "metric crapton." :)

    OK - now I am going to have to go find a filled cupcake. Never had one :| Not an experienced cupcaker.

    That shrimp looks good! I thought there was a way to add pictures straight from your phone, but I don't see it now. I bought Yuengling's Black & Tan ice cream today. I only had a spoonful, but it was delicious! Belgian chocolate and salted caramel. 200 cals for 87g, though, that's why I only had a spoonful this time.

    CupcakeDammit - I only know Yuengling as a brewery (and, really, as a beer)! Are you telling me they make ice cream, too? And produce a Belgian chocolate + salted caramel? What is this wizardry? Greatest company ever?

    It's the same company!

    I've never tried their ice cream yet, but will have to see which flavors are at the store next time.

    I used to see it at Weis, but then when I finally went there to actually get Yuengling, I couldn't find it. :cry:

    Ok Acme had even more flavors, lol. But nope. Sigh. I wish I could make the calories for it.

    (I hate Root beer so I wouldn't buy that one anyway).

    Some days I don't have the calories for a full serving of ice cream, so I'll just scoop out a big spoonful and eat it slowly off the spoon. It's seriously just as satisfying to me as eating it out of a bowl. Saves a lot of calories that way, if you have the ability to do that and walk away.

    My girls are away at a girl scout camping trip and my boy sleeps 'til noon if given the chance, so my wife and I went out for a brunch at a local place we hadn't tried before. I got a scramble and bottomless mimosas - awesome but not particularly stand-out in terms of a picture, so nothing in the savory thread.

    But my wife, after deciding on eggs benedict, changed her mind at the last minute and went with a nutella crepe. Not something I could really eat as I can't handle that much sweet at one sitting, but I did taste it, and it was amazing. And very artfully presented!

    And amazingly, we both got ice cream with our meals! (well, not *exactly* ice cream; but her crepe had banana in it and I had a side of fruit that included watermelon, and based on a recent thread I am led to believe that both of those are essentially ice cream).

    I totally LOL'd! The crepe looks good, though. :smile:

    @ILiftHeavyAcrylics‌, your cupcakes look awesome!

    @GiveMeCoffee‌, did the cannoli donut come from DD?

    Do you get a notification that someone mentioned you in a comment with the @ symbol?

    No, I didn't see anything, either. And what the heck?! I haven't seen that one, is it a new member? I think SideSteel's cousin needs to add Dammit to her CallMeBacon. I think that every time I see her name.

    Today for breakfast took a wrap & put some Lotus Creamy Cookie Spread on it & nuked it for around 10 seconds. So yummy!

    We spent the weekend in Charleston, SC and the food was excellent. Unfortunately I didn't get very many pics (I only remembered the gelato). The star of the weekend was definitely the almond croissant that I had at the Charleston Cafe. It came with a HUGE plate of fruit. It looked about like this:
