Chicago-Style Pizza and Portillo’s Cake for 3/12
Happy 312 Day, a day to celebrate the great city of Chicago based on the city’s (and my) original telephone area code. I made our favorite Chicago-style pizza for dinner, and Bunny made a Portillo’s-inspired chocolate cake for dessert…it was a most delicious day!

Bolognese and Cannoli Cake for MAR10 Day
For the last few years, we’ve really looked forward to celebrating MAR10 Day on March 10th. I usually make something Italian in honor of everyone’s favorite plumber…this year, it was bolognese, with a cannoli cake for dessert. I also found some Mario-themed Bubly water, which was an extra special treat!
I love these whimsical celebrations!

Mani Monday
I’m still having fun playing with the Holo Taco “Super Magnet,” and comparing its effects to those of the traditional wand. This week, I used “Off the Grid” on the first two nails, setting the thumbnail with the wand and the index finger with the super magnet. I used “Feeling Sparks” on the other three nails, with the wand’s cat eye on the ring fingernail and the super magnet on either side. I still can’t get over how it actually looks like different colors of polish…the magnets are so cool!!!
