Food was the Forecast

Yesterday we went to the Phoenixville Restaurant Festival. The sun never truly came out like the forecasters said it would and weather wise it was a pretty disappointing day; however, the restaurant festival in Phoenixville was a new venture for us and it made for a nice Sunday outing.

The main reason for our trip was the cupcake business, Dia Doce. The blossoming cupcake business belongs to my sister's best friend from high school. My sister has been helping her out tremendously at local events and we went to the restaurant festival to give our support. The festival ran from 11AM-6PM and by 3PM they were sold out of the 300 cupcakes they made for the event! Dia Doce makes an array of flavors and my favorites from yesterday included the carmelized lemon basil, chocolate raspberry truffle and chocolate espresso with cookie dough filling. YU-UM!  You can order personalized cupcakes or pick from her list of unique flavors for your special event. Come June, there will be a Dia Doce cupcake truck traveling around southeastern Pennsylvania....mainly in Chester and Delaware counties to start, but you can visit her website and follow her on Twitter to find out more information on her expected stops. Cupcakes coming soon to a town near you!

Besides the cupcakes, we had a great meal at Molly Maguire's. The home store Hipster Home was pretty cool too. They sell my favorite plate pattern, which until now I was only able to find online. Phoenixville, we will be back to visit this summer and enjoy eating outside and strolling your streets in SUNNY, WARM weather!

A Few Tunes

When warm weather approaches I always start forming thoughts about what my summer music will be. Windows down, sun, hair blowing, good music. Here is a short little list of songs (in no particular order) that I am into at the moment. We'll see what ones carry on through the summer.

Young Blood by THE NAKED AND FAMOUSE

Sprawl II by ARCADE FIRE

Stereo Love by EDWARD MAYA + VIKI JIGULINA

On the Floor by JENNIFER LOPEZ

Rumor Has It by ADELE.
Of course I am liking Rolling In the Deep too, but at the moment every radio station is playing it at any given minute in the day. Rumor Has It is still a little less easy to come by and I like that.

You Are a Tourist by DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE

New Slang by THE SHINS. I know it is an old one, but I heard it this week for the first time in a long time and it took me back to the early 2000s. I liked it all over again.

Check some of them out if you haven't already!
