    Not nearly as seductive as some of your all photos, but my sort of dessert this evening - prosecco (cheap!) and fresh cherries!

    Again not necessarily drool inspiring as a photo. However, the flavor was so strong I almost couldn't finish this tiny, thin little slice. This is fresh-baked Apricot pie from a local bakery which is related / owned by a fruit orchard down south of us. The filing ingredient list is: apricot, sugar, corn starch. And this was heavy on the apricot, very light on the sugar and corn starch. Apricot overload! A few sips of a Malbec port to go with it.

    I haven't made this yet, but I have to share it.

    And it is happening in my kitchen as soon as all this moving crap is done.

    Oh. And because I felt bad for not adding a picture, this is a piece of a butter pecan poke cake that I made. You can't really tell, but all that super moist goodness is from a tub of frosting in the batter + holes poked in the cake and a mixture of sweetened condensed milk and butter poured over the cake. VERY rich and decadent. 1/15th of the cake is approx 500 calories. Topped with whipped cream and pecan pieces.

    Made this for my friend's birthday:

    6e098bb5-754e-400a-a8e9-1a1d00ce9149_zps1d916ce6.jpg

    Chocolate cake, chocolate buttercream frosting, chopped up turtle candies, and Jen's salted caramel sauce on top. We may go into a sugar coma and die.

    That cake looks delicious. I bet it is ridiculously rich, no wonder you can eat 1/15th of the pan!

    I stopped by the farmer's market on my way to work today and at the French bakery there they had these little babies:

    Salted Caramel Macarons, y'all. They are wonderful. Or were...they are gone now. The bakery has all sorts of macarons all the time, including Key Lime, which is my 2nd favourite, but they only seem to make the Salted Caramel now and then. And when they do, I'm over there like a dog to a dumpster.

    Wow those look amazing & so does the crazy brownies.
