Pints of Peonies

Pictures taken during lunch last week at the South End Buttery. It was a beyond beautiful day and the South End was full of lunchers, moms with strollers and adorable children, and puppies galore. We sat out and soaked in the fantastic and unique mid-March weather. My veggie sandwich, full of sweet potatoes, sprouts and avocado was scrumptious and their cupcakes were too cute; named after their own dogs. The ‘Harriet,’ a carrot cake confection had the most rich, thick and creamy cream cheese frosting that perfectly balanced their moist, mild, barely-sweet-at-all-cake. It was fork-necessary huge and the perfect treat to the lunch date. As the rain pours down outside my windows, this seems like light years away.
