Whilst I was immersed in The King’s Speech at the Angelika Theater, Teresa Gubbins was busily reporting the demise of Dimples Cupcakes.

According to La Gubb’s source for the news, owner Chad Sorrells, the devastation of the Dimples dynasty was due to unsupportive landlords and this article in D Magazine (note to TG: D Magazine is all ital w/ UC m).  Read  both stories and decide what is fair. Lawsuit? Interesting Mr. Sorrells. You never returned our phone calls.214-939-3636. All lines are open.

Wine Deal for the Weekend at Central Market

posted by Hayley Hamilton | December 29th, 2010 12:23pm | filed under New Year's Eve, Wine & Spirits |

Just got my weekly mailer from Central Market and all wine is on sale this week for 20% off 6-12 bottles, 25% off 13 bottles or more! (mixed or the same.)  I love wine sales.  
If you shop their prepared chef’s case and spend $15 or more it is 25% off also.  We used some of their truffle/mushroom paste in our mushroom/truffle risotto on Christmas Eve…amazing. If your New Years is going completely decadent, live lobsters are on sale too for $9.99 a pound.
