Sugar, Sugar

On a gray day like this, when spring should be on the horizon but instead there are only large chunks of ice, a shot of sugar and color from a cupcake can be very healing. Don't know where to go for a cupcake fix? There's a debate going on on Chowhound's Chicago food board about the best cupcakes in Chicago.
If cookies are more your thing, particularly the bracing flavor of Thin Mints, Eric Zorn's column in the Tribune offers an alternative to the Girl Scout cookies that, for some, can be hard to find: Keebler Grasshoppers.
