Saturday Night and Jilly's Cupcakes

Saturday evening J and I decided to through a small dinner party. I made my speciality: chicken breast stuffed with goat cheese, spinach and wrapped in bacon. Dirty mashed potatoes and sister shubert rolls. But what to have for dessert?

J recommended a small cupcakery in Roswell called Jilly's Cupcakery. The cupcakes looked great! We bought six; cookies and cream, cookie dough, honey lavender, margarita, strawberry cream and caramel. The cupcakes were rich and fun to share. Everyone enjoyed tasting the different flavors and were happy to share. 

 J was able to use his decanter for the first time. We used our Malbec Bota Box to fill the decanter. We discovered that Bota Box is only $13.99 at Total Wine where as Publix and Kroger sell the wine for $23.99 each. We bought 3 boxes because the wine was $10 cheaper. We also learned an interesting tip. In the state of Georgia they cannot give coupons or discounts for alcohol. This is part of the reason there are so few happy hours in Atlanta. J and I had received a coupon for Total Wine Virginia for $15 off a purchase of $100 or more. If you live in Virginia, grab the coupon here.

All in all I think we had a great night! We even had 5 full sized adults at our little table. What's a little closeness among friends? I will be happy once we have a true dinning room, but for the time being, this is perfect for our needs.
