simply irresistible.

At the risk of notifying the world so we end up with none, take a look at some of this deliciousness, hand-crafted by Angela Quinney of O'Fallon. She lives just up the street from us, so we got to sample some of this season's best holiday desserts (and photograph some, too) on the eve before she began taking orders. No joke, you need to contact her and order some. Soon. The cake balls might be our fave. Or the Andes Mint chocolate cookies. Oh, just order some and be your own judge!

life passes us by so fast

The weekend flew by, but it was fun nonetheless. Included in our festivities was The Taste of St. Louis (on our trip downtown for the penultimate Cards game), which won over these poor souls with a pile of spicy yellow chicken, white rice, and some darn good ice cream from Blue Sky Creamery. No pictures were harmed by Photoshop during the development of this product. You can also see it at the Post-Dispatch site.
