I did snap a shot of her birthday treats — German Chocolate Cupcakes from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World:
It's the basic chocolate cupcake recipe topped with the Coconut Pecan Frosting. So, so good. And I traded the oil for applesauce, so they're kind of lower fat.I gave her an autographed copy of Iron Chef Cat Cora's book, Cooking from the Hip:
Can ya'll believe how young my mom looks?!Anyway, I met Cat Cora last week at the Macy's store in Memphis. She was doing a barbecue cooking demo, and though I couldn't sample the BBQ Shrimp, her broccoli slaw and pit bean recipes were both vegan. So I got to try some of Cat Cora's secret recipes! I also had a chance to interview her by phone the week before her demo for a story in the Memphis Flyer, the altweekly I write for (I wanted to link to the interview here, but for some reason, the Flyer's new website is giving me an error message when I search for it).
Happy Birthday, Mama Crunk! (BTW, thanks to a couple of commenters who called my dad Papa Crunk and Daddy Crunk in his birthday post last month, I've decided to start calling my parents by their "crunk names").
LOVE the crunk names! happy bday mama crunk!

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
