- For tomorrow

  I’m way too stuffed from dinner now, but will probably attack this in the morning. It looks like a cupcake, but it’s actually 70% chocolate mousse surrounding a creme brulee center sitting atop a shortbread cookie.
  
  Chocolate Mousse "Cupcake" from Bakery Nouveau
  
  Ok, so more specifically, from Bakery Nouveau’s website: The base is a disc of shortbread, and on top of that is a dark chocolate mousse, upwards of 75% dark chocolate, with 2 layers of crème brûlée. It’s finished with a very thin chocolate shell, which is sprayed on. The velvet effect you can see is the result of putting the pieces in the freezer for a few minutes to get them nice and cold, and then spraying them with untempered, melted chocolate that has some extra cocoa butter in it.
  
  I couldn’t wait until tomorrow!

- I want a meatloaf cupcake!

  We are hoping to go back to Chicago again next Spring, so I am adding “The Meatloaf Bakery” to my places to visit list. Sometimes I’m in the mood for a cupcake, but I also am in need of dinner. This would solve both desires at once: cupcake shaped meatloaf topped with a side item frosting.
  
  Menu items that I’d try:
  
  Herby Turkey Loaf: Ground turkey with a mix of spices, garlic, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Topped with stuffing and served with cranberry sauce.
  
  Loaf a Roma: Beef and Italian sausage mixed with mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, basil and red wine. “Iced” with angel hair pasta.
  
  Omega 3 Loaf: Salmon (Since it’s Alaskan, not Atlantic. I’m a Seattle-ite and not interested in the un-naturally pink fish} with lemon, parsley and dill. Topped with wasabi mashed potatoes.
  
  Yentl Lentil Loaf: Lentils and brown rice with veggies and cheese. Topped with bell peppers. (Looks good, but I probably wouldn’t try it: A bit too healthy for a vacation sort of trip.)

- Cupcake bubble about to burst?

  Since I just read in The Stranger that the cupcake bubble is about to burst, I thought I should diversify my portfolio; so Mr Shuck and I ventured out to Frost Doughnuts in Mill Creek.
  
  Our selections:
  
  Banana Split Fritter: Yum! Banana fritter with pineapple and strawberry added and drizzled with chocolate ganache. What’s better than a cupcake? A fried cupcake!
  
  Wedding Cake doughnut: Yes, it was just as boring as wedding cake. Plain cake doughnut with plain buttercream. It lived up to it’s name.
  
  Salted Caramel doughnut: Another cake doughnut, but glazed with salted caramel and sprinkled with rock sugar and salt.
  
  All in all, worth the drive to Mill Creek.
