So Sweet Savannah

A month ago I looked into schools with Graduate or Certificate programs in Historic Preservation.

Whoa...just a thought, just a thought.

Yes, I still have a year and a half in my BA program.

But since I also want to move somewhere new after I finish my degree the goal was to find programs in cities that I would not mind moving to whether I chose to further my education or not. Then grad school could always be an option if I did choose to go.

Last week I received my copy of the Savannah College of Art and Design catalog. I mean, what better city is there to study historic preservation?

And then today I found this post on Entre Nous, one of the blogs I had just started checking out.

So it seems I will be able to follow her adventures long before I have to make up my mind about moving or applying.

Hurrah.

Thank you, thank you Sara Kate!

I just saw this recipe on Apartment Therapy: The Kitchen

Sweet Morning Potato

1 sweet potato, cooked
1/4 cup plain or vanilla yogurt
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts (or other nut)

Warm the potato. Open it across the top, pushing the flesh slightly to rise out of the skin. Spoon on the yogurt, then the syrup. Sprinkle with nuts, and serve.

Yummy, YuM, YUM

All I can say is this site is food porn, so beware.

This woman in San Francisco makes the most incredible cupcakes with names such as:

Samoas^® Cupcake
Rich Chocolate Cupcakes Filled with Chocolate-Mint Ganache with Topped with Mint Buttercream
Coconut Rice Pudding Stuffed Cupcakes with Ginger Cream Cheese Frosting & Fruit
Ricotta Raspberry Almond Cupcakes with Citrus Meringue Frosting
Peanut Butter Filled Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache



I will just show you the mouth-watering pictures (she takes them herself) and command you to go to Chockylit's Cupcake Bakeshop.






If you feel adventurous, the recipes are on the site too. William and Sonoma just started selling this which will make those last cupcakes even cooler.

Enjoy

I know, I lied

The real Amy Sedaris.

I said that there would be no more posts until August, but there are some great things afoot that I just could not ignore.

Like the fact that one of the most twisted* shows ever, Strangers with Candy, is coming to a major movie theater near you. Paul Dinello, Stephen Colbert, and the great Amy Sedaris have written the film to complement their brilliant Comedy Central series from 1999-2000. The show was written and presented using language and music cues ripped from those corny After School Specials that ran on TV throughout my childhood.

"Hello, I'm Jerri Blank and I'm a 46-year-old high school freshman. For 32 years I was a teenage runaway. I was a boozer, a user, and a loser. My friends were dealers, cons, and 18 karat pimps. But now I'm out of jail, picking up my life exactly where I left off. I'm back in high school, living at home, and discovering all sorts of things about my body. I'm finding out that though the faces have changed, the hassles are just the same."

This is how every episode started and that paragraph pretty much summed up the irreverence of the show and probably the movie too.

*Beware, the beginning of the movie's website has some imagery that might be upsetting for a few people. The movie; like the show, is very much an acquired taste.
