Time for some softer music this week. Sara Haze kinda reminds me of Sara Bareilles. Strong soulful voice. I think mochi mentioned that Sara Bareilles has a new album out. I'll need to find the time to preview it.

What's better than cupcakes? Nothing Bundt Cakes! Seriously. Someone needs to frackin' open up a franchise here! Now! I've been wanting to try these ever since Queenie was telling me that I would really like 'em. And I do! Big poppa and I were at his ex-roommates place and they were kind enough to grant my request by driving me to pick some up. I bought a bunch of different flavors of bundlets and a box of bundtinis. If we had a location here, these bundtinis would be perfect for parties. The cakes were super moist and all of their cakes come with their signature cream cheese frosting. So good. I love it. I think I'll just have to buy some every time I go to Dallas. One thing is that each cake needs more frosting though. I'll have to remember to request extra frosting next time. I think they actually have one in Austin. Why is Houston always last in everything. Ugh.
Welcome to the world baby Grace! Gilles gave birth to a beautiful baby girl nearly a month ago and big poppa and I made sure to make our way over to meet her. Grace basically slept the entire time we were there. She was so tiny and light! The whole concept of bearing a child is just completely amazing. I'm not sure just quite yet if I'm ready to have something growing and moving around inside of me. So scary! Having a new baby in the family is always such exciting times for everyone, especially the grandparents. Gilles parents came by when we were there and the happiness and joy on their faces was so heart-warming. I can't wait to see that same reaction from my own parents in the future.

When planning for places to go eat while in San Antonio, I remembered the episode of Man Vs Food where Adam visited different eateries around San Antonio. I wrote them all down but only went to one out of the three or four. Before heading back to Houston, big poppa and I stopped by Lulu's Cafe and Bakery, where Adam indulged in some chicken fried steak and a three pound cinnamon bun roll. Big poppa ordered the chicken fried steak and I had the chicken fried chicken. Ugh. Way too much batter. Believe it or not, I only ate two or three bites before deciding that the thick batter really was overwhelming. Cos I'm really into gimmicky things, I ordered one of their famous three pound cinnamon bun rolls to take back home. A bunch of tables around us were eating some fresh out of the kitchen and it looked so good! But alas, we were just too disgustingly full and there was no way I would be able to enjoy. After the three hour ride back home, big poppa and I cut up a small piece and nuked it the microwave. It just didn't look as good and mos def didn't taste all that great. The icing was completely melted but I was afraid that if I heated up too much, the bread part would dry up. I ended up giving the rest of it to my aunt. I shouldn't be eating that kinda stuff anyway. So if you're into Texas sized unhealthy and super heavy food, this would be a good place to go. I don't think I'd go back.
