The best thing I ate today - 8/21

Determining the best thing I ate today was a tough challenge amidst the terrific spread laid out by our friends Julie and Dan at their Air & Water show party.  However, the win goes to an unassuming little treat on the dessert tray which I have later come to find out was a mini turtle cupcake from Baker Boys in Highland Park.  Here is where I must admit to my readers (all 2 of them) that I, Cindy Karas Sherman, am a caramel addict.  This cupcake did not have the fanciful toppings and frostings of its friends...red velvet, peanut butter cup, oreo and the like.  However, I saw a light carmel drizzle and some nuts and my caramel radar started going off.  With good reason...the morsel was delectable.  Inside was an ooey, gooey caramel center surrounded by light and delicious chocolate cake. Who needs the Blue Angels when you have caramel to make your stomach do flips.
