Not Even a CRUMB
Like so stoked that we fought while he took the photos below.
We ordered: Devils Food, Candy, and Elvis. A good variety.
One bite.....confused, second bite....shock, third bite....repulsed. It was the worst Cupcake I have ever tasted! Seriously, I eat 1 cupcake a day on average and a mini M&M topping could not even encourage Ben aka Willy Wonka to finish them. I have had better cupcakes from my Easy Bake Oven, circa 1989.
My mouth was pulsing from the intense perservative flim, and yet no density, not one bite had a distinguishable flavor. My baking instincts told me they might be saved. So I mixed the Elvis (the banana flavoring in this tasted like the banana in Runts, not the actual fruit.) topping with some crunchy peanut butter and then mushed the bottom with my Mom's Christmas Zuccini bread. I wasted the Zucchini bread.
Also Crumbs has flavors; Candy and SnowCap which attempts to save its self by dressing them in store bought (movie theatre) candy.
HOWEVER, because the marketing is so genius, I could see myself going back to order a coffee or something.
Last Word-If you want a Crumbs experience you are better off rolling up a slice of Wonder Bread with a dollop of Cool whip on top.

Nothing like Mother's Pie
Thanksgiving at home with my family in Oak Ridge, TN. Ben made the family picture this year, for the first and forever time. I am thankful for my family and the new things I learn about them.
To my Father, the Black Friday Shopping Stint you pulled 2 years ago was merely a fluke.
To my dear Mother, if you slept more then 2 hours a night you would be more successful than Martha Stewart. Walking Dead, your latest AMC addition, is now my favorite (only) zombie show.
To my dear Brother, I am ashamed I caught you playing Call of Duty in the basement, does my 2000 petition entitled "Down with Playstation 2" mean nothing to you?
To my dear Sister, I get it- you only like plain, cheese pizza- just like Kevin McCallister.
To my dear Fiance, why are you always the driver for our family when you are visiting our hometown?
To my dear Pooch, I am sorry that The National Dog Show was disappointing for you, the Cavaliers didn't make it far. But that was clearly because we did not enter you.

Rally and Race
MARINE CORPS MARATHON! My Bestie, Ellen came in town from Nashville to run it with me. It was A great way to spend Halloween, my favorite holiday. And in typical Musgrave Fashion, barely qualifyed, but did qualify for Boston in 3:40:12 on the 10th of a second!
And Here is Sandra Bullock cheering on her sister. Ben tried to sell this picture to US WEEKLY, but for some reason this "I'm just like you," casually clad celeb shot didn't make the cut, but this one did?!
Rally to Restore Sanity was on 10/30/10. Ben, Brother, and I walked 3 miles to get a taxi to the National Mall. I did not see or hear Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert.
And here was a cute poochie dressed as a shark. The rally is really speaking to him.

Brother Matthew dressed as a Tea-Bagger, yes that is what you think it is.

Queen and Victoria
The 2010 Victoria Secrets Fashion Show was spectacular! The artistry, creativity, hot bods, hot attendees- i.e. Gerard Bulter- made it an aesthetic delight. I felt like I was at my best friend's sleepover, with wings on!
And speaking of Victoria, I thought I would recognize Queen Victoria's Beloved Tri-Color King Charles Cavalier Spaniel, Dash. There is a scene in the movie, Young Victoria, which illustrates how the newly crowned Queen returned home from her coronation to bathe Dash. Dash's epitaph reads:
"Here lies Dash, the favorite spaniel of Her Majesty Queen Victoria, by whose command this memorial was erected. He died on the 20th December 1840 in his ninth year. His attachment was without selfishness, his playfulness without malice, his fidelity without deceit. Reader, if you would live beloved and die regretted, profit by the example of Dash."
And speaking of Queens, it is decided- The wedding will take place in the Queen City- Charlotte, N.C. on 11/12/11 (Catholic Church doesn't budge on Saturday wedding dates- C'est la Vie-no 11/11/11.) The location will be the Charlotte City Club-located at Trade and Tryon, which is the center of the city.
And Speaking of my wedding, I have almost settled on the colors GOLD and HOT PINK. Much like Juicy Couture's prime color scheme. And speaking of Juicy, I am obsessed with my new fragrance-Couture, Couture. And isn't the bottle royal?

Ben and I Sporting Orange- yet again.
Ben and I Sporting Orange- yet again.
The Lovely Ladies of Clemson! I witnessed my first "Iced" this Weekend. Whoever is in charge of Smirnoff's Marketing is wise, way to get those nasty, murky white bevs back on the Map!

Cupcakes in the City
Ben and I went to NYC and stayed with Max and Lara in early October. We celebrated Max's 30th Birthday, after watching the Gator game in stadium seating style, we had some champagne at the Bubble Lounge. Take a moment to admire Lara's home-made birthday cupcakes. Lara and I tried out Tribeca Treats, and next time I am in the 'Apple I will be visiting Babycakes- an all Vegan Cupcakery!
While in New York, a 468.9 sq. mile city with 8,391,881 inhabitants, I happened to run into my only New York Friend from my childhood past in Oak Ridge, TN. I literally ran into Reagan running by the Hudson, right in front of the USS Intrepid.
Reagan, Jake, Ben and I had brunch at Kitchenette and then went to the
Brooklyn Musuem of Art and saw Abdi Farah's from Work of Art (my favorite BRAVO show, and yes I will be trying out for the third season.) winning exhibit!

Falling
FALL IS HERE
Pre Fall-
Smell: burnt grass, back to school clothes
Sound: ESPN Football pump up music and lawn mowers
Weather: constant dusk and a lazy burning sun that has made the grass crispy and burnt
Food: The last cookout- knowing it is the last cookout you toast the buns and use the fancy condiments
Mood: Fresh starts, and promise, pool splashes and an oven breeze
Autumn-
Smell: Dying foilage and leather
Weather: The cutest outfits that are warm, but you don't need a jacket
Food: Halloween Candy-the originals like snickers and Reese's cups. As well as anything associated with pumpkin flavoring*
Mood: Like a Saturday morning and you just fell in love
Post Fall-
Smell: fireplaces, chimney smoke in the breeze
Weather: Cold enough for corduroy and a pink nose tip
Food: Chili and Pumpkin Pie
Mood: Warm, cozy, knowing the holidays are next. You stomach is stretched from pumpkin Flavor addiction*
*Falling victim to Pumpkin Flavor Addiction- How can one not over indulge when coffee shops offer a Pumpkin Latte, a Pumpkin muffin, or a Pumpkin Pie Chai twist gingerbread mocha! Every ice cream shop is debuting pumpkin pie milkshakes, every eatery has a pumpkin-esque option like pumpkin and butternut squash ravioli or Pumpkin and Chocolate cheesecake. And the pumpkins in the candycorn autumn mix are the best!
FALL FOOTBALL! This past weekend we went to the UT/UF game. An Amazing Power T cake by Ellen and and edible Gator blood red velvet Cupcake Cake.
