Valentine's Day Cupcakes from Rosie's

Just realised I had nothing sugar-related for tonight, (not that Mrs. Rajesh and I really celebrate it) so I raced down to Rosie's for some Cupcakes.  

They look pretty don't they?  I nearly ate one ahead of schedule, which would've been bad, I shall save them till evening arrives and The Mrs. returns from her travels.    There would be nothing more embarrassing than her finding my fat ass sitting around with pink icing in my moustache.  

Get home already!

Cannoli at Arancina, Notting Hill

Arancina is family run Italian that has aspirations to be a big franchise, and they've already begun to expand with their concept of fresh Italian food on the move.  They sell a host of snacks such as the Arancina that they're named after, a rice ball filled with ragu and an assortment of pizzas by the slice and confectionaries.

Having been overdosing on the Sopranos recently I felt an urge to pop into Arancine for some Cannoli.  Their Cannoli are really rich, and really big.  The photos don't do them justice, one is almost a meal on it's own.  Cannoli should be bannned, they're dance with death, they hurt so good.  You know once you have ingested that the ever looming heart-attack will be hard and fast.  Recommended.

TRIVIA:  They named a Sandwich here after my friend Dr. Simon Godley, the infamous Dentist-Comedian, ask for 'Doc Simon's Sandwich'.
