SUMMER SALE: It’s Friday night and the Picky family heads out to El Capitan Beach for a picnic. As the usual suspects arrive, I see Mr Picky’s left eyebrow raise in disapproval. I notice they are sporting plastic glasses and cheap wine — this could get ugly. Have they learned nothing from us? Luckily we have a box of the new Mr. & Mrs. Picky All Purpose wine glasses in the car. They are super sturdy and dishwasher friendly. As we set them out, everyone starts toasting and the party lights up, whew! Choose from Mr. Picky, Mrs. Picky, and the new All Purpose 4-6-8 oz. wine glass with no logo (just measuring bubbles) on sale for $5.99 in our store now. All glasses on sale through Labor Day Weekend.
Gluten-free Chocolate Cake: It’s Sunday morning and Mr. Picky is still sleeping. A certain someone may have been on a roll last night. Maybe I’ll whip up a sneaky gluten-free chocolate cake disguised as a decadent Sunday morning treat. After dinner last night I have to keep my Weight Watchers points low, my weigh-in is Wednesday. Let’s see, it also has to be gluten, dairy and sugar free AND please the Mr. Picky palate. If I add blueberries and raspberries and sprinkle with a bit of “powdered sugar” (Xylitol) I can make it again for Fourth of July. Enjoy my 4th of July Chocolate Elegance Cake today!
