A few days ago, I shared a YouTube video about Lansing’s Sugar Shack at 2315 E. Grand River Ave., next to the Marathon Station, a bakery that specializes in gourmet cupcakes.

We split one knowing that we would have to record it for Weight Watchers Online which allows us to eat such treats. When we got home and ate our individual halves, we were treated to a nuanced rainbow of minty flavors. The cake was extraordinary.
The whole taste experience made a repeat visit inevitable. They deliver too and their menu is online.

Check out this YouTube video about the national coffee party movement and check their website. I invite your comments.

The Lansing City Council said a big “No” last night to a chance to get their pay lowered by the same percentage they are asking from city employees.
Check out this Lansing State Journal story about how the city council deadlocked at 4-4 on a resolution by Council-member Brian Jeffries for the council to lead by [...]
Last night’s Lansing City Council meeting got pretty combative last night and new Council-member Jessica Yorko was occasionally in the line of fire. These meetings have to be stress producers for council-members, staff and definitely for residents watching on television. How do you cope?

I’ve driven by Sawyer’s Gourmet Pancake House on the corner of Pine and Saginaw in Lansing, but I have never eaten there. After watching their YouTube video about their restaurant, I have to admit I can’t wait. How did I miss this place? Check their video and their online menu. Any reaction?
