Wow, that was quite an event! There was so much tasty food, I wish I had a second night to enjoy it all. One night with that much deliciousness is just not fair! šŸ˜‰

The amount of food at tonight’s event was almost overwhelming. I wanted to try everything!! But, there was no way I could come close– even with just the desserts!

It would take me hours and hours to recap every taste that I had tonight, so I’m just going to highlight my favorites. I’m actually still thinking about a few of them! šŸ˜‰

Alaskan King Crab Salad with Prosciutto, Golden Beets, and Grapefruit Aioli from Sel De La Terre

This was so light and refreshing. It’s a perfect appetizer for the warm weather. The Alaskan King Crab Salad is actually a brand new item, so it’s not even on the menu yet!

Spicy Green Beans with Freshly Baked Olive Oil-Oregano Bread with St. Alphonzo’s Kitchen

When Mal and I lived in South Boston, this restaurant was literally right down the street. Why didn’t we ever visit?! I guess we’ll have to make a special trip there soon!

I didn’t have a bite of this one, but Mal really loved this bacon sandwich from Hungry Mother.

The star of the evening: Sloppy Joes on Cheddar-Baked Bread from KO Prime

Holy yum! This was easily the most delicious thing that I tasted all night. Mal and I ended up sharing a Sloppy Joe sandwich and then going back for a second a little while later. We even considered eating a third sandwich, but we stopped ourselves.

Everything about this sandwich was amazing. Seriously. I will have dreams about it tonight.

Mal and I spent a lot of time at Paul W. Marks cheese table.

We both have cheese “issues.” WHY is cheese so good?!?

Halfway through the event, I ran into some of my favorite bloggers: Chels, Elina, and Susie. Love these ladies! šŸ˜€

Then it was time for dessert! I definitely enjoyed myself tonight! šŸ˜‰

Mini Donut Muffins fromĀ Glutenus Minimus

These babies were the best dessert that I ate tonight. They were basically cinnamon-sugar dough balls. Mmm!

The Glutenus Minimus cupcakes were also yummy!

Kickass Cupcakes had some pretty amazing cupcakes, too!

I tried their Mojito cupcake, which was a rum-soaked cupcake with sugar cane lime frosting and fresh mint. Of course, I loved it! šŸ˜€

On my way out, I grabbed a chocolate chip cookie from the Haley House Bakery Cafe. The Haley House is a really cool organization. You can read more about it here.

I had a wonderful time tonight– spending time with my hubby, seeing blog friends, and enjoying some fanastic food. I definitely splurged on desserts, but I didn’t overdo it either. The night was a success! :mrgreen:

Good night!
