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.

Toll House Celebrates 75 Years

Toll House Cookies were the first thing I ever baked.  Over the years I've made their classic chocolate chip cookie recipe countless times.  There's really nothing better then biting into a hot cookie right out of the oven.  And sneaking some cookie dough?  You know you're not supposed to.  It's bad but oh so yummy.  And "cleaning" some off the beaters?  Oh man- I can't decide what I like better, biting into a cupcake or licking dough off beaters.  Both are up there as far as finding dessert bliss.  Toll House is celebrating 75 years and they have some new chocolate chip morsels for us all to indulge in.  Called DelightFulls, you can get em' in mint, cherry, peanut butter and caramel.  I chose peanut butter for my cookies and they were a hit.  I used the recipe on the bag but I didn't use any nuts.  Thanks, Toll House, for all the delicious years of chocolate chip cookies!
