In Memoriam |
 Jennifer Carlson 1983-2007 |
From our General Mgr, Lara:
Recently Wrigleyville had a series of arson fires resulting in 4 tragic deaths. One was a single mother Jennifer Carlson, whose 4 yr old son was in the same school as my daughter Kaitlyn. All the teachers & parents are deeply saddened, but thankful that Blake was not home at the time. Jennifer worked during the evening putting herself through school. Please consider a donation to a trust in his name:

What's this Raw Cheesecake that everyone is going bonkers over? Well, its 'cheesecake' made from cashews, sweetened with agave nectar and has a date, almond & pecan crust. It is as close to perfection as you can get below 118 degrees. It's very exotic, takes 3 days to make, and we offer varying flavors: coconut, cacao, lemon, vanilla, berry & mango. You can order one of these online too, but like we said, it takes our little Oompa Loompas three days to squeeze out one of these! So don't wait until the last minute. |
