Roses are Red-Food is Rainbow

I'm just a simple girl with a not so simple taste for food or books. Choose a book as if you were choosing a chocolate soufflé, the good ones are rare!

Books and harlots have their quarrels in public.

I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.

Sometimes you just need to stand on the edge to see things clearer

The ancient Greeks believed that everything is made from a few basic elements. The idea was basically correct; it was the details that were wrong. Their ‘earth, air, fire, and water’ are made of what today we know as the chemical elements.

The more things change, the more they seem to stay the same...

And the more I learn, the more I see that is left to be explored. Never get discouraged from the intricacies of the world, let them inspire you to discover something new

When Bakery Meets Creamery 

I scream you scream we all scream for ice-cream! Sprinkles Ice Cream is taking the cupcake to a whole new level with their creamy sundaes. 

Pictured above is a peanut butter pretzel chip cookie sundae with chocolate ice-cream topped with house-made whip cream and chocolate chips.

To the right sits a mini-Sprinkle's sundae consisting of a fluffy red velvet cupcake and a scoop of butter pecan ice-cream.
