Disney Challenge Day 20 and Tea Time Treats

A Terrific Tuesday Tea here in Wonderland today guests!  I do hope you are all well.  Did anyone have a Pixar marathon last night?  Sadly I didn't, but plans are definitely in the works for one!  We are definitely in need of some Pixie Dust here in my neck of the woods today.  I'm expecting Eeyore to walk in my office any minute now since the weather is just so gloomy.  I have a little treat for you all on this most gloomy of days.  I'm sure your bellies remember our new Tea Time Treats segment.  Last time I baked Fluffernutter Brownie Cones to share with all of you.  This week, I must admit, I didn't bake these sweet treats myself, but once you see them AND try them, I'm sure you will find it in your heart of hearts to forgive me!  But before we fill our bellies, how about we enjoy a little Disney Challenge?

Today's Challenge is another Pixar related challenge that asks me to share my least favorite Pixar film.  Now, had this not been asked by Challenge, I would say that I LOVE every Pixar Movie. But alas, this IS challenge so I must choose.  The movie I would say I enjoy the least would be A Bugs Life.  Now I don't want to say it's a terrible movie, because it most certainly isn't.  However, I would say I don't remember it being that "captivating" like the other Pixar movies are.  I do enjoy the underdog story of it, and the circus performers were quite the comedy troupe, but there is one thing I don't like about it.  All the "main" characters are ANTS and other BUGS!  Bleh!  I can usually deal with bugs no problem, but ANTS, no way! 

I do have to give credit where it is due though.  The main (ant) character, Flik, is the kind of guy that only wants to help others, even though sometimes it backfires.  In the case of this movie, his latest "helpful" task knocks over the entire food offering for the evil grasshoppers, putting his entire colony in jeopardy.  Instead of cowering away in shame, he does the right thing and goes looking for other bugs to help him fight the grasshoppers off.  His interaction with other bugs through out the movie is where the comedy lies.  With a stellar cast of voice over big shots, the one liners keep flying flawlessly throughout the film. 

Enough about my "least favorite" things and let's move on to one of my "Most favorite" desserts!  For this week's Tea Time Treats segment, I wanted to feature a familiar dessert that is currently a "fad" but has always been a favorite of mine.  This week, Prince Rich and I took a trip to my favorite Cupcake shop down in Plymouth called Cupcake Charlies.  This little cupcake shop serves up some of the most delicious cupcakes I've ever had.  They have the classics such as Vanilla and Chocolate along with some more unique flavors such as chocolate chip, "Hostess", and usually a flavor of the day.    These cupcakes are delicious by themselves but can be enjoyed more thoroughly with a delicious cup of your favorite tea.  During this trip, I was definitely craving some sweetness, and bought a half dozen to get me through the week!  If you've never been, I HIGHLY suggest you take the trip down.  I promise you, you won't be disappointed.  Here's some of the highlights of the deliciousness I brought home!

 Whether you are in Plymouth, or at the Happiest Place on Earth, there's always room for some Tea Time Treats.  I do hope you've enjoyed today's challenge and I bet your tummy is rumbling now!  Hopefully you are having a delicious dinner!  Have a magical evening and remember, Wonderland is but a Daydream away!
