My husband and I (and the dogs) are visiting Savannah again this weekend from Friday – Sunday. We arrived today around 3PM. We’re lucky we don’t live too far from Savannah. This is our 4th visit to Savannah in almost a year and a half. I am so in love with Savannah. If I won the lottery this weekend, I am going to quit my job on Monday; buy a house in Savannah and move here!!!!!
Savannah is a charming little city. It is packed with histories and old homes–just the way my husband and I like from a city. Although I am only 30 and my husband 28, we both have true love for old homes–Victorian to be exact.
Walking through the streets of Savannah, I always feel some kind of dejavu-like-moments. Like I belong here…my past was here…
I just love it here.
Tonight we went walking down the Riverfront area. We had dinner at Huey’s. I had my favorite Shrimp and Grits while my husband ordered Crawfish Ettoufee. Sure, they are not originally from Savannah (more like Louisiana origin) but they’re still representing the Southern foods strereotype. And of course, we always drink Sweet Tea with our meals when dining out.
Tomorrow morning, we are going to visit my favorite bakery, Back in The Day Bakery (http://www.backinthedaybakery.com/) on Bull Street, to get some yummy cupcakes. The owner has been featured on Paula Deen’s show. Paula Deen is also from Savannah. We plan to grab some lunch tomorrow at Paula Deen’s restaurant, The Lady and Sons (http://www.ladyandsons.com/). Although we have been to Savannah several times, we haven’t had the chance to eat at the restaurant. People say it’s not so good but I love Paula Deen so I’d like to try her restaurant and be the judge myself!! And not far from Paula’s restaurant, there is a kitchen shop I love to visit (and I visit this place everytime I go to Savannah!!), Kitchens on The Square (http://www.kitchensonthesquare.com/). If you love to cook, this place is a must to visit!! Last time I went there, I bought a bunch of cookie cutters in different shapes and sizes!! Very cute.
Anyways. That’s my report from Savannah for now. I will be posting some pics and more stories tomorrow. I love Savannah!!!!
I am so craving for a good, delicious, moist, and good-looking cupcake right now. Come Monday–the start of my day off for 3 days–I will make myself a batch of the most delicious cupcakes. I bake great, awesome, devilish cupcakes. I used to bring 2 dozens to work every so often. I made different flavors and looks. They were always a hit. I haven’t baked cupcakes in months. And now I am craving for one.
My favorite cupcake is vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting. The mother of all cupcakes. When I go to a bakery for the first time and don’t know what to get; and if I spot a vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting on the shelves, I’d get that first. If their basic vanilla cupcake with vanilla buttercream frosting tastes delish, then I can guarantee everything else in that bakery would taste delicious as well.
A good bakery should know how to make delicious vanilla cupcake. In fact, I think every baker should know how to make this very, very basic cake.
A good cupcake is hard to beat. Who does not like to have a taste of a cute and delicious cupcake?
