I <3 Magnolia Bakery

Sometimes I wish I were still at my old job, which consisted of icing cupcakes and steaming milk while serving the masses of tourists that visited. Tonight I went back (as a customer) with a friend and was greeted so warmly by everyone that I felt like I was back home. I can honestly say that that will probably be one of the best jobs I'll ever have, as simple and minimum wage as it was. Such a great group of people.

David Lebovitz is my food god

These nonfat (chewy) gingersnap cookies are my new favorite cookie. The 0 grams of fat means they're a little less sinful, and they're a great substitute (especially during girl scout cookie season).

Can You Guess?

Since I am currently in Spring/Summer/Sunshine/Beach weather mode, I thought I'd post a lovely aerial view of a certain place. Can you guess what this is of?


These are actually pictures of the tulip fields in Holland, taken last May. Aren't they wonderful? They remind me of the first time I saw France from the sky: though certainly not as colorful, it was still beautiful with all of its cornflower fields.

This is Why You're Fat

I just discovered the greatest blog: This is Why You're Fat
I feel full already.

Welcome to Swirled Sugar! I'm so excited to FINALLY get this up and running. The truth is, I completely forgot about this blog, but now I promise to update as much as I can. This blog will be about my life, my thoughts, and my passions, with a pinch of sugar mixed in :)

For the first post, I thought I'd share a sweet little picture I came across via http://apartment34.blogspot.com/. Maybe it's because Valentine's Day just passed, or maybe it's because in some ways I'm a typical girl (hee), but I just love the theme of hearts. Enjoy :)
