Hey yo! So, in an effort to cook more savory things and to expand the diversity of my diet I joined a little food sharing cooperative. My friend Devin, who also likes to cook and has an interest in bid'niss, started a google group which has grown into something more. It's called Real Good Food and basically it helps connect local cooks. If you make a lot of soup, tamales, or curry you can write up a post and swap it with another member's samosas, stew, or pot roast. You can agree to an immediate sway or to something in the future. It's a great way for a single gal like me to NOT have to eat enchiladas all week just because they can only be made by the pan full. Since most of members' interaction is virtual Devin organized a meet and greet so people could chat and talk about the future of the group. In order to have some nosh Devin asked if I would help him make cupcakes.... a favorite past time of mine and who doesn't like sweets?! Ornery people that's who! So this past Saturday Devin and I got together and made some magic in the kitchen. As you all know, I loves the chocolate. Devin had been wanting to use some AWESOME sweet chili powder he picked up on a trip to Mexico this past summer. We put the two together for some sweet heat cupcakes.

Now, let's see if Devin actually reads this and then petitions to have that last picture of him removed!
