SPLENDORA'S

YUMMY!

Spring is in full swing, we've had so many beautiful days and nights, Splendora's on the Downtown Mall is a "no-brainer"!

GELATO

With so many exotic flavors (try "Jack Daniels" if they have it) it's hard to decide what to order but you really can't go wrong.  I'm all about the Salted Caramel or Dulce de Leche

SCOUT-Charlottesville:  "Moving from Blog to Print"

Charlottesville, VA April 15, 2010-- SCOUT-Charlottesville has just released "The Scout Guide Book", a print companion to its popular blog, http://www.scoutcharlottesville.com. Founded by local-loyal entrepreneur, Susie Matheson, Scout-Charlottesville's goal is to utilize social networking to benefit small businesses in Charlottesville. 

"The Scout Guide Book" is an advertising-based publication that functions like a coffee table book, with design and production values to match. Award-winning creative director,  Christy Ford, captures the energy, commitment and faces that have built some of our favorite local businesses. 

“Connecting real people with people is the goal of SCOUT—yes, it also about the great products, but it is more about showcasing a community of entrepreneurs who stand shoulder to shoulder to make this an amazing place to live. Business is an art form in Charlottesville: a manifestation of the artistic spirit of this town.  I love these creative people and I am passionate about celebrating them this way. I want use the blog and this companion book to sell Charlottesville to the world as a model community for supporting local businesses."-- Susie Matheson, Founder

Matilda's Birthday is December 23
(tutu from Whimsies)

  
 
  .....SO......

 In the middle of Holiday Chaos we have a Birthday Celebration Brunch. 

I have already received some phone calls making sure that I ordered THE CAKE.  

 The PEPPERMINT STICK Gelato Cake from Splendora's 
DUE To POPULAR DEMAND...it is now a tradition.

For all the Cake fans.... It's ordered!

The peppermint stick gelato....along side an espresso....is a perfect way to chill out while shopping on the downtown mall.
(I did that too).

 
  
 You CAN have your Cake and Ice Cream....(gelato) and eat them too.

Cold Rainy Days
 Chicken Soup to the Rescue

 
 

Last night I threw (2) Organic Butcher Seasoned Chicken Breasts in a pot with an onion, a few carrots, celery, chicken stock, noodles...and of course....tobasco.

 DONE!

 Murdoch tells me that it was THE BEST Chicken Soup I have ever made.  
  
THE KEY INGREDIENT:

 The Rosemary Seasoned Chicken Breasts
 from
THE ORGANIC BUTCHER
(this will make your soup taste like it has been simmering in herbs all day)
