never go home

Another week has blown by and now I get a four day weekend to enjoy. Melissa, a coworker (soon to be ex-coworker), is in town and we are showing her the sites or at least OUR sites. We’ve hit many of the major “It’s Carrboro” places (Elmo’s, Nested, WSM, Open Eye, and Fifth Season) along with a stop a Talullas to watch the Italy vs. Ukraine game (Ukraine, despite having a player with a Luke Wilson Royal Tenenbaums hair cut, lost the game 3-0). We also went to 3 CUPS where I was thrilled to find out they are now getting in a stock of amazing Artisan Cupcakes on Thursdays. We tried the a chocolate chip orange cupcake (tasted a lot like a Jaffa Cake) and a chocolate cupcake which were both topped with a ganache rather than a typical buttercream frosting. Which leads me to a linked obsession of mine: Amy Sedaris! Since her new movie is out, she seems to be on TV and NPR all of the time. NPR has a photo of her making her cupcakes (which she sells in New York), her cupcake recipe, and a link to the interview! Oh, while you are at it check out Liz’s new pouch!
Gotta run…today is Durham day–we are planning to go to Duke Gardens, Locopops, Ninth Street, Madhatters, and Locopops! More to come soon…
