I had the pleasure of tasting a Sprinkles cupcake this past weekend when my sister's boyfriend brought me back some from SoCal. I'd never had a Sprinkles cupcake before but had heard a lot about them. Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes served them at their wedding. Oprah has mentioned them on her show. I took a bite of the cupcake and was in instant heaven. The cupcakes are so good. My sister's boyfriend brought me 6 on Sunday evening ... by Tuesday it was all gone. Yes, they are that good.
I just found out that Sprinkles is going to open a location in Palo Alto. Hurray! I can't wait until it opens and I'll be among the first in line to buy them.

Haagen Dazs Green Tea Ice Cream
Recently Pat and Anita asked for green tea ice cream with red beans. I had never heard of that combination before. I had had each item separately but never together. I did some research and found out that Haagen Dazs has a product with the two items together:
If Haagen Dazs mixes green tea and red bean together, then surely this must be a good combination. Sadly, I can't find this item on neither the US nor the Japan version of Haagen Dazs' website. I think this item must have been discontinued. :(

Weekend Warriors Part II
It has been a very long time since we have been weekend warriors. Ming finished his project a long time ago and I’ve been lagging on mine. I don’t have a good excuse for it other than laziness and me forgetting that I still had to do it.
My project is to make placemats for our dining tables. I bought the fabric a long time ago and it’s been sitting in a corner, collecting dust, waiting for me to make time to use it. I was finally motivated to get my placemats done when I realized that we were having a lot of people over and I wanted to be able to use our new dining table (but we currently don’t have enough placemats for everyone.)
The day I realized that I needed to get the placemats done was the two days before the party … so I had to get my act together. I stayed up really late on Friday cutting all of my fabric. The next night I attempted to sew all the placemats together. I spent 4 hours sewing it together and I still didn’t quite finish all 18 placemats (but I came close.)
The placemats turned out really well and I am happy with the way they turned out. The placemats did so well that I, unintentionally, inspired others to also create placemats for their homes. Placemats are an exceedingly easy sewing project and as long as you don’t try to create 18 all at once, it’s something that can definitely be finished in a weekend.
Now that I have finished my placemats weekend warrior project my next project will be to make a table runner. Hopefully the next weekend warrior project won’t take another month before it happens.
