Satiated!

Yesterday I drove to a friend's home, and in her gourmet kitchen she first prepared an exquisite breakfast for us:

Golden bacon fried to crisp perfection.....

.....a tasty quiche made with a potato crust (have I ever mentioned just how much I love potato anything?).....

.....and an ambrosial salad that tasted fresh from the garden! Most delightful!

After much partaking of food and catch-up chatting (she just returned after a several month absence), we returned to the kitchen where she honored me by letting me help her cook up a batch of Boston Cream Cupcakes. A few of the ingredients:

organic sugar

Nielson-Massey Vanilla (the gourmet vanilla)

Milk, butter.....

The cream filling.....

The Snitcher!!!

Baking the cakes.....

.....to perfection!

Filling the cakes.....

Chocolate Ganache Glaze (no words can describe :-)

Final step.....drizzling.....

Incredible!

Beautiful!

Messily delicious!

Heavenly!

If no one sees you eat the chocolate, you didn't.
