Good or Bad?

This past weekend a friend and I ventured to one of my favorite places .....Cami Cakes Cupcakes!! As usual I went for the red velvet (which I crave and am in love with) and my second favorite , the strawberries and cream.... Yum! Then I decide to walk on the wild side and try a carrot cupcake. Needless to say, I walked out with four in total ( 2 red velvet).

Once I arrived home, I decided to save the carrot for last, which was my effort to build anticipation and pace myself. However, the anticipation got the best of me, I indulged! First by tasting the icing, which was pretty good then the cake which was good as well, but .... I started to compare it to my first love (red velvet) and it did not stand up.

So I asked myself, was this fair? Probably not, but I started to think about what I said in my first post " once you experience better it is hard to settle for something less because you will always compare the two" if you can. After considering this for a moment, I started to think that if experiencing something so great or life altering was a good or bad thing, because it can unknowingly rob you of enjoying something that could be enjoyable if you gave it a fair (key word) chance. What do you think?

To those that decide to indulge in my new adventure you may begin to ponder..."what meets Baby D's criteria for life changing?". Well, I'm glad you asked....... the term simply means an experience that changes your life and the way you view a person, place or thing -in this case food. I recall my pastor mentioning in church that once you have a life changing experience you can never go back to things that are mediocre or ordinary, and I agree. He went on to say that you must experience better to want better, and I can say in certain areas of my life I have/am doing just that. Are you?

For example, in Atlanta there is a place called "Cami Cakes Cupcakes" and ever since I had my first red velvet cup cake I have never looked at cupcakes the same way again. Furthermore, these are the only cupcakes I desire and at $2.50 a pop, they are not for the faint at heart. Another recent, but great example, was the lightly seared and golden tilapia placed over a bed of white rice surrounded by lemon sauce at Divan's in Atlanta....omg! Honestly, this was the best fish experience I have had to date, and being from Miami I know good fish, but boy I did not want that experience to end. Not to mention I talk about it as if it was yesterday.

I am sure as you are reading you are recalling some great dishes that you have experienced. I am also sure the next time you dine you will be thinking " could this possibly change my life?" and for the sake of your tastebuds, I sure hope so!
