Double trouble, Pearl's Cupcake Shoppe and Croaker's Spot

Almost embarrassed to admit that I went to Pearl's(Grove and Libbie) three days in a row, I've got a bit of a sweet tooth! 3rd day was by default though, went to Shyndiz but they weren't open yet. Wow, those are some moist cupcakes, loved all 3.  The Top Hat-vanilla cake, chocolate buttercream frosting.  The Tuxedo-choc buttercream cake frosted with a layer of choc buttercream, a layer of 7 minute frosting, and another layer of choc buttercream.  Could have laid my head on that sweet pillow of frosting, um um good.  The Mexi Cali-choc cake with red pepper and other spices, frosted with spiced buttercream.  This one is similar to Frosting's Mexican Hot chocolate, love, love, love(husband said the carrot cupcake that I brought him was the best he's ever had). Gave myself 9 WW points for each one. Guess I should mention that I recently upped my class attendance at the Y:)   A
Croaker's with Kim(who I recently starting calling Casper). Bring a big appetite or a doggie bag!  I almost never leave with leftovers b/c I usually clean my plate.  I had almost a full takeout container when I left Croakers. I got the Butterfly Shrimp Dinner- 8 fried shrimp, cheddar ranch grits and mac and cheese(instead of the cabbage) and a block of cornbread.  Shrimp were good, grits were very good and mac was and creamy and spicy, just needed a little salt.  Best thing was the enormous hunk of sweet cornbread. Oh yeah, didn't think I liked cabbage but tried Kim's-loved it! Let's just say I didn't count my points, just used up whatever I had left for the day and then added extras. B+
