What I Nom Today ~ Now, if you were raised in Hawaii or know any better, when you go to the islands, don't bother asking for a donut. No one would know what a donut is. Now, if you ask for a MALASADA, nooooooooow you're talking, haole. A malasada is basically a holeless donut. If you give the local folks a donut, they're likely to say "Eh brah! No be cheap ah? I no like one big puka in my malasada!" (Or something like that...my pidgin is rusty these days). My point being...so, when I heard that the Cross Street Deli had malasadas available...and only Saturdays & Sundays...and you have to ask for it by name...they're not even listed on the board...you better believe this long-lost Hawaiian girl trucked her ass all the way to East Somerville for a taste of back home. Unfortunately, the malasadas here on the mainland weren't the same as I remember. These malasadas were huge disks of fried dough covered with sugar. Back home, a malasadas is more round, more compact, think a jelly donut but filled with more donut dough instead of jelly. In any case, it was still fried doughy delicious goodness, but just not the malasadas of my youth.

What I Nom Today ~ I happened to be in the Davis Square area, so I finally got a chance to stop by Kickass Cupcakes. Yes, I felt like I was cheating on Party Favors...my ultimate go-to cupcake place...and, yes I also regretted it. To be honest, even with kickass flavors like Mojito and Green Monster, the cupcake I got was sticky instead of moist and was sunken instead of fluffy. It looked like a cupcake that I baked...not a good thing. It was a heavy, liquor-soaked mess instead of dreamy, melty baked good deliciousness. Also, I paid a whole $1 more for a Kickass cupcake than I would have for a PF one, and got waaaay less cupcake & frosting. I'm always willing to try something once & sadly, for Kickass Cupcakes, that once is more than enough :(
What I Nom Today ~ Figures...just when MDH said he thought I was looking thinner (yay me!), he hands me a box of fudge he brought back from PA. Oh lordy...mint chocolate, strawberry shortcake, cookies & cream? Oh well...
