Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry.

Salted Caramel Cupcake from Pinkabella Cupcakes

If you spend any time looking at my blog you know that I have a thing for salted caramel.  It's probably my favorite flavor right now.  I was taking a Sunday stroll through the mall today and came upon Pinkabella Cupcakes.  I was just going to look, but like a beacon in the night, the Salted Caramel jumped out and said, 'buy me!' I couldn't resist so before I knew it, the nice salesgirl was boxing up my treasure for me to take home.  No joke, this cupcake is one of the best I've ever eaten and I've definitely had my share.  The cake part is a dark, moist chocolate and the caramel frosting is so very thick with caramel drizzle and a touch of sea salt. 



Like most people with smartphones, I'm addicted to Instagram.  I actually just discovered it and have been going crazy taking pictures almost every day.  I just can't stop.  Here are a couple fun shots I took today of my delicious cupcake and Pinkabella's display.
