Life is short. Eat dessert first!

Whether I'm creating specialty cupcakes for a baby shower, making hundreds of mini desserts for a Yelp event, or simply baking some cookies for friends - I absoloutely adore desserts!  Sugar? Yes! Flour? Oh yeh! Chocolate? Gimme, gimme! 

Pastries Not Potatoes is not only a blog, but my tiny little dessert only catering company as well.  I've been in the food business for more than ten years and I can't think of anything better than to share my love of food with not only Chicago, but the world!

    Snack Attack.

    People are willing to do pretty ridiculous things to make a name for themselves.  Anything from shaving their heads and smashing car windows in with baseball bats to having a companys name tattooed on their forehead for some extra cash.

    However, planning an idea and successfully executing it in order to land yourself in the Guinness Book of World Records is one thing that while I can't fully understand the need to do, at least you're putting yourself in line with some pretty imaginative and couragous people. 

    That is - only if you succeed.  Otherwise you just look like an idiot.  Case in point?  A group of Iranians who tried to create the world's largest sandwich.  I'm all about a sandwich.  It is by far my favorite food.  It's compatable with breakfast, lunch and dinner; you can put pretty much anything in them; and most important - it's portable. 

    I feel bad for this group of would-be record holders.  It must have been one damn good sandwich though.
