Operation Cupcake Expedition: Complete

magnolia

This weekend was plagued with fevers and chills for my hunny. On top of playing the part of Nurse, we still managed to get a lot of fun in between his fevers and fainting.

I have always heard a lot about Magnolia and always have wanted to try their cupcakes. So, on Saturday we went on a cupcake expedition to find these treasures.

I must say that it was well worth the adventure. The mobs of people in this tiny shop gobbled up the cupcakes faster than they could put them out.

I waited and waited for them to come out with another one with chocolate frosting. We got our two cupcakes and sat down in the park across the street and enjoy the day. The coffee there was really good too.

The day continued to go into an exploration for the fabled Coffee Crisps from Canada. Online documentation reports that some were sighted at different locations around New York, particularly, at the Hudson News. That operation did not go as successful as we planned. Regardless, the cupcakes were the big win for us.

There was also midnight adventure into Hoboken during the early part of the snowfall.

Sunday morning was a Winter Wonderland! Preparing for the big storm, we hit the supermarket right before the weekend to stock up on food and entertainment. We "borrowed" an egg from the neighbors and made scones! They came out great and the gastronomes of the building reconvened to find out what all the hype and fuss was about.

Since we were all there, there was only one thing left to do:
GAMES GAMES GAMES!

A game of risk broke out and lasted FOUR HOURS! The blue army ended up winning the war, as blue overtook 24 countries. As the green army, I managed to take over North America twice, but failed to take over Africa, even though the continent itself was self-plagued with it's own battles between blue, black, and red so I was afraid to go in there.

We managed to dig out our cars before the food we ordered arrived. Mine was buried in 7 feet of it. It may have been the wind that did it. Ivan came out in his PJ's and an Army helmet to do his part. Fun eventually turned into business since we were all there anyway.

Anyway, back to the cupcakes! Brunch of the month club, which meets every other year, has tentative plans to make an appearance there towards the end of the month! Woo hoo!
