Savory Sight: Cappuccino Cupcakes

We've never met a cupcake we didn't like and kateparham's cupcakes look absolutely delightful.

When it comes to the kitchen, most people seem to fall into one of two camps: you’re either a cook or a baker. It’s rare that someone can do both, and do both well. I, for one, am no baker (cook may also be debatable). Aside from the fact that I’m not a big sweet tooth, I seem to ruin every pie, cake, and cookie I ever try to make. Unfortunately, fried chicken doesn’t quite say “I love you” like a basket of heart-shaped cookies — both in theory and literally . . . it’d be pretty tricky to write “I love you” in hot sauce the way you would with icing — so for Valentine’s Day this year, I had to get creative. I wanted something sweet, something that could be considered remotely romantic, and something that even I, baking-impaired, non-sweet tooth, could make and enjoy. Oh, and apparently, it had to also contain a ridiculous amount of butter (Caution: this recipe is NOT low-cal). So what did I come up with? Cappuccino Cupcakes, of course.

Savory Sight: Blue Bottle Cappuccino

Angelica has uploaded this photo to the Savory Sights group. It reminds me that sometimes the little things in life, like a pretty heart on top of a cappuccino, are the most special.

This Blue Bottle Cappuccino from the SF Ferry Building instantly boosted my mood. It helped that the baristo was pretty cute too.

Caffeinated Quiz: Know Your Coffee Calories

Coffee doesn't have a stellar reputation, but like many things in moderation, your daily cup of joe doesn't deserve such a bad rap.

Coffee doesn't have a stellar reputation, but like many things in moderation, your daily cup of joe doesn't deserve such a bad rap. Not only does it perk you up, but it may also help improve your memory and decrease your risk of liver cancer.

A cup of brewed coffee is pretty much calorie-free, but some of the fancier concoctions can be tougher to navigate. Test your caffeinated calorie knowledge by taking my quiz.
