How was your weekend? I went to the farmers' market on Saturday morning, where I found fresh eggs, bunches of lilac, and plump mushrooms. I then promptly swept past the kale and spinach and instead, bought my first chocolate cake ball ever (a hunk of chocolate cake smothered in chocolate frosting and perched on a stick ... yep). I went back for a second. And a third. In total, I ate three and a half. They were so good, moist and crumbly and sweet and delicious. A foolproof proposal would be to hide the ring in one of these babies (I don't care if I accidentally eat the ring). I'm having a meltdown just thinking about them. I love you, chocolate cake balls.
Here's a tip, though: it's vaguely awkward when a boy meets you at the said farmers' market and you have to skirt around the chocolate stand because people recognize you and say things like, "Back again?" instead of telling you about the spot of chocolate on your nose. And then HE buys a chocolate cake ball and you stand there trying not to rip it out of his hands.
In other news, I've found what seems to be a foolproof recipe for chocolate chip bacon biscotti. I'll be back with updates on their development tomorrow!

Awww sounds like a sweet guy! I once went out with someone while it was snowing, and he didn't tell me (for over an hour) that my mascara had run all the way down my face (clown like). I also would be thrilled to find a ring in a chocolate ball. or truffle.
o i cant wait to hear more about this chocolate chip bacon biscotti! xoxo jillian:: cornflake dreams
I am such a sucker for a straw tote and a striped shirt... combine that with farmers' market goodness and it's pretty much a trifecta of wonderfulness.
I wouldn't be able to resist the cake pops either. And chocolate no less!
Beautiful blog! I love the dark flooring + white walls in this home.

Haha this is awesome! I'm not really a chocolate or cake fan, but I kind of feel like I have to taste one of these just to see!
Happy Tuesday!
