Lobster, Frozen Yogurt, and Cupcakes...Oh My!

Well, today was a total binge of food. My friend, Becky, and I had decided on Thursday that we would make lobster today...well, yesterday now. So, we spend about an hour trying to find a grocery store that sold live lobsters. Finally got a hit on store #3. Becky's lobster was crazy, the fish guy was trying to put the lobster in a plastic bag so he could wrap it up and the lobster spread out all of it's legs. I imagine he was thinking, "no way am I getting in there!" Then we realized that we didn't have a big enough pot to cook them in, so we had to go to Target. Tomorrow is Easter, mind you, so every store was packed and crazy. Finally, at around 5:00 (we started the Mission: Im-Lobster-ble at 2:30) we were cooking. As we were putting the lobsters in the pot, Becky's crazy lobster spread-eagled again!

Later, we decided to go visit our injured friend with one of Becky's roommates. She had dislocated her knee and we wanted to cheer her up. We thought some Sprinkles Cupcakes would do the trick. Supposedly, they're the best cupcakes in the world or something. However, if you know Sprinkles, you know the line is usually about halfway down the block. I guess the line normally moves pretty quickly, but as this was my first time, I have no idea. But an hour later, we had decided that we had better get a dozen cupcakes to make it worth it. As soon as we got in, an hour after they had closed, we were told we could only get 6 cupcakes. Then, they didn't have any of the ones we wanted. So, we took what they had and headed to our friend's.

On the way, we saw a Pinkberry. If you've never had Pinkberry, try it immediately. It's the best frozen yogurt ever! So we grabbed Pinkberry and finally made our way from Beverly Hills back to Glendale. We left for Sprinkles at 6:30 and finally got to our friend's house at 9. There we watched a crazy movie on TV and ate Pinkberry and Sprinkles until we felt like booting! Well, to be honest, I only ate half a bannana cupcake.

So, all I've had today is lobster, Pinkberry, and Sprinkles and I'm never eating again. :)

Quite a day! I made cupcakes for Easter today and they were yummy!
They were lemon with homemade lemon cream icing and cocoanut sprinkled on top. How was the lobster? That is one of my favorite foods.

I also tried pinkberry recently and it was nice. Easter weekend I was in Toronto and tasted their frozen yogurt at a store called Yogen Fruz, Lord I've seen the light and it's quite a delight. Yogen Fruz was definately the best tasting frozen yogurt and they're in every mall in Canada. Hopefully we'll see them in America some day.
