#13 – ZOMG, Sarah, we HAVE to try this!
So, I was searching Flickr for a photo to go with my last posting and when I typed in “101 in 1001” under the Creative Commons-licensed photo search, this was the first hit:
A friggin’ Dark & Stormy cupcake!!
Apparently Lauren, a.k.a. cuttlefish, had on her 101 in 1001 days list: invent a bitchin’ cupcake recipe. And this was her creation and she tagged it “101 in 1001” and that is how I find it. And now I want to eat it.
Some background: Sarah introduced me to the deliciousness that is the Dark & Stormy – a drink made of dark rum, ginger beer and, I believe, lime juice. She and Dave first tried it on a Carribbean cruise they went on. We tried to make them in Calgary but the ginger beer we got was fierce so we dubbed those the “Dark & Burny.” Undrinkable, they were. But Sarah and I had some at The Reef one time when she was visiting (which I totally thought I had a photo of but can’t seem to find in my Flickr. *curses self for not tagging Flickr photos properly*). So. Delish.
The recipe for these is here. Seriously, Sar, we must, must make these at the next available opportunity!
Update: So, as Sarah notes in the comments section, the reason I couldn’t find the photos of us in the my Flickr is because she took those photos on her camera! She sent them to me, so here they are:

ZOMG! Those look so frigging amazing! I guess we could try to bake them in the kitchen at the hotel in Vancouver, but that might be a bit ambitious…
I kinda want a D&S right now, actually. We found Ginger Beer (sadly, not Diet, but beggars cannot choosers be) at Loblaws/Superstore – it's their in-house brand – and it is pretty good. Combine it with Gosling's Dark Rum and you're good to go.
As for pictures of us drinking D&Ss at the Reef, I have them. I'll send them to you at gmail as soon as I finish this comment, in case you want to upload them.
Ah! So I'm not crazy! I totally remembered seeing those pics and couldn't find them anywhere in my Flickr! lol!
I'll update this posting when I receive them!
Also, baking them in the kitchen of your hotel room would probably be a bit too ambituous! But the next time we are at either your place or my place for any reasonable amount of time, we are so making those!
So is “Sar” there pronounced “Sahr” or “Sehr?”
It's pronounced like the beginning of “Sarah” without the “ah”. Is that “Sahr”? I've never been any good with phonetic spelling!
