A lovely day

Happy Tuesday? A slow Tuesday for me but I'm gonna make it do what it do! I had a FABULOUS weekend (no rest) but a great time. My Dear and Wonderful friend KSan braved the outdoors with me at the Soul Food Festival on Saturday afternoon. The day was perfect. The weather was sunny and cool (in the shade). The festival took place at one of the parks in the city and around 20+ vendors were set up with everything from greens, fried fish, cobblers to cookies, snow cones and cotton candy! KSan and I met up with two friends from work and sampled some of the cuisine. We had some pretty darn good bbq froms Dubbs Grubs. The sauce was good and the chicken was juicy! We had greens and a well seasoned mac n cheese. My favorite food of the day had do be the sweets! We had some not so peach- Peach cobbler. It was served cold and just was not a good cobbler. We had a different peach cobbler from another vendor and it was much much better. The cobbler was served warm and had a good crust. It had abit too much cinnamon for me but it was pretty darn tasty. Have you every tried Sock it to Me cake? If you have not please find someone who makes a good one and beg them to bake it for you. The Sock it to Me cupcakes at the festival were superb! The icing was lip smacking good. My favorite sweet had to be the lemon cake.

This little piece of cake survived a few tumbles. I dropped it at least 3 times before it arrived in my kitchen! The yummy gooey middle filling was ridiculous! It wasn't too lemony or two sweet... just the right amount of everything. There were also singers, artists and painters at the event. A perfect lovely day with friends!
