I was just trying to eat a delicious cupcake from New York City’s famed Magnolia Bakery when the universe intervened – as if to tell me that I had enough.

i just have to say: i was in sort of a binge mode for the past couple days. and first, i just got an email talking about how the best way to mindful eating is being grateful for the food. and then i read this. i think the universe is REALLY trying to say something. its a miracle <3

Glad I got those donuts eaten before I read this. I’ll be better tomorrow.

DW-one question that confuses me whats all the talk about the universe? Universe cares for nothing. A bird landed on your table and helped himself to your cupcake.
Your kinda like this cupcake only with sprinkles. lol DW: cupcake with sprinkles.

Zabar’s is amazing, but I would have to go with H&H bagels.

Just LOVE your blog!!!!!!!

Cupcakes? ate loads of them when I was a child.
Half of one is about right, now.
The universe is indifferent to your cupcake.
Be well,

I can’t figure out why people go crazy over these cupcakes. I’ve tried them and found them only very ordinary. There was nothing outstanding about them in the least….
June 24, 2010 at 11:28 am
Tom- when I was in NYC everyone says I had to go to that bakery. So I go- yup it’s a cupcake-can’t get to excited about that. Of course I born and raised in the greatest pastry country in the world- everything else is ordinary.

Sparrows are quite tasty if you bite the head off first.
June 24, 2010 at 1:43 pm
great injustice towards the birds it was just one Pec checking out another Pec or should I say Pecs.. \ love ya
June 24, 2010 at 2:20 pm
Why not share. His I eye on the sparrow!!
I have a single turtle dove that visits and watches me sit at the computer.
June 24, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I may have a little to much est in me but things happen for a reason. Consider his visit as a sign of favor and trust and then move on. Maybe set a small plate for him on the balcony and see what happens.
June 24, 2010 at 6:52 pm
Don’t you just love how the universe gives you these little clues.
June 24, 2010 at 9:13 pm
Hey, if the cupcake was good enough for you the bird must have thought it was good for it too! Must have been your enthusiasm and enjoyment of the moment that the bird wanted to share.
Cheers!
June 24, 2010 at 10:35 pm
I’d like to be your cupcake Davey.
June 25, 2010 at 10:51 am

June 25, 2010 at 3:11 pm

June 29, 2010 at 11:18 am

We have a serious issue with pigeons in Manchester City Centre here in the UK – once I was turning the Corner around the Arndale Shopping Centre onto Market St and this flock of pigeons came right at me…it seems that they have been known to attack people especially outside the Tesco Metro Supermarket at the corner of Brown St & Market St & going towards the Arndale Food Court, towards Cross St – I just wish that Manchester City Council would do something about it as it does come under European Health & Safety laws as well as public/enviromental health laws – the pictures that you show here should really be passed to the public or enviromental health team of your local council as this is a public and enviromental health issue
