Hey, It's Okay

 I got this idea from Glamour magazine. You can link up any day of the week. All you have to do is make a list of what you're okay about. Simple! Please do not link up a post that has nothing to do with Hey, It's Okay. It's rude and I'll delete the link.

HEY, IT'S OKAY....

.....to be going to Tommy's college so I can take his graduation pics this weekend. I'll probably cry. 

......to have submitted a recipe to win free HuHot for a year. Check this post out here to see how you can win!

.....to be tired of all the rain we have been getting. I mean, yes, we needed it, but it keeps coming, and I feel for the people at the Fiesta celebrations. It's this event that happens in San Antonio every April for 10 days. There's music and tasty food. 

......to have been enjoying the show Rooster on HBO Max. It's about a divorced bestselling author who goes to a college where his daughter works to support her after her husband cheats. And gets the other woman pregnant. Oops. 

.....to have really enjoyed the book Michael Without Apology by Catherine Ryan Hyde. It's about Michael, who nearly died in a fireworks accident when he was a child. Michael goes to college and meets Professor Dunning, who also had an accident and wears his scars proudly. Michael is still working on this. In film class, Michael decides to do his project on other people with scars, including himself. Will he learn to embrace his imperfections? This was such a moving read and I think many will be touched by the book.

The Grim Bakers In San Antonio

I like horror.

I like sweets.

The Grim Bakers puts those two things together, so I knew I'd be a fan.

It's located in the Wonderland of the Americas mall in the food court. Their goodies change often, so it's cool to stop in and see what new treats they have.

For example, I had to try this cake that was inspired by Killer Klowns of Outer Space.

And yes, it was good. I like how they have shovels as spoons. 

I also liked this Happy Face pie. What a creepy treat! And I bet it is delicious.

Check out all their cupcakes. Which yes, are amazing. We've purchased some before. I can almost bet I'd love the Sour Boo Tart. I tend to enjoy lemon desserts. 

Love Beetlejuice? Check out these eclairs! 

Plus they have coffees and other beverages. And ice cream. 

We had to get this Frankenstein ice cream. It had vanilla and chocolate soft serve, a ganache topping, and pink whipped cream, plus nuts. And yes, you get to keep the mug. 

It was incredible and we'd order it again. I shared one with my daughter. Yes, they have cones as well if it's too much for you. 

Be sure to stop in! If you know someone who loves spooky movies, a treat from The Grim Bakers would be the perfect gift idea for them. 

It is open 10 AM-7PM Tues-Saturday and 10AM-6PM on Sunday.
