Crazy Comforting

The other day my dog past away and I was in a really sad mood. (Don't ask about how he died, i don't want to talk about it....) So my friend called me up and told me to come over and bring the rest of the family. It happened to be my dad's birthday. She told me she was going to cheer us up with cupcakes! Yum! When we got there she introduced me to "Ingrid". Before you all go and think this is an old lady I will tell you it's not. It's a huge bowl of icing. HUGE. She told me to taste it and you could feel the sugar crystals crunching in your teeth. Yikes. But anyway she had made baby Ingrids (chocolate cupcakes with Ingrid icing) and cinnamon apple streusel cupcakes. There was also "Betty". That was the chocolate icing. We ended up having to make more Ingrid because the first one was a flop. And you all know how cooking with one of your best friends can be. Let's just say I had chocolate all over my face and there was chocolate covered tomatoes and yeah. NEVER EVER try chocolate covered tomatoes. Take it from someone who knows.....In the end it did comfort me...strangely. We didn't leave empty handed. We got to take some Ingrid babies home!
