Mmmm Mmmm



     Today is my husband's birthday {Happy Birthday, Sweetie}!  Birthdays around here always include really good food.  So it was fortuitous that today's Photo-a-Day Challenge prompt was "delicious."

Breakfast was a rich, chocolatey doughnut with coffee.




It was really like eating cake for breakfast.


Lunch was my daily green juice which, even though it's healthy, is delicious.





Dinner was at Outback Steakhouse and included one of their loaded baked potatoes.



 

Dessert was carrot cake cupcakes from Aimee's Home Cookin', my friend's catering company.




Each cupcake has just a touch of the homemade cream cheese frosting inside as well as on top.


Dang, when I lay it all out like this it's a good thing I had the juice, right?

And it's a good thing birthdays only come once a year.......er......actually they come five times a year in this family.

Well.....of course there's also Mom's birthday, and Dad's, and oh.boy.  No wonder the scale never comes down much.  ;)

Any one of those photos could've been my photo for today's "delicious" prompt.  But it was mid-morning, and I was enjoying a cup of coffee, when I looked up and saw my little jar of chocolate-covered espresso beans. 

Delicious!




And since they're not as familiar as a doughnut, or juice, or baked potato, or cupcake I wanted to photograph them for my prompt.  In fact, I just discovered them about a year ago.  (Yeah, I know...how did I, coffee-lover that I am, not know about these little gems?  I dunno.  Don't get out much, I guess.)  I went to a local coffee bar that had just opened and they put these espresso beans on top of each coffee cup lid as a garnish.

Boy oh boy, I'm tellin' ya....a hot, fresh cup of coffee just can't be beat.  Or couldn't until now.  Try eating a chocolate-covered espresso bean before sipping that hot coffee and you'll see what I mean: delicious!
