He is working hard on his novel.

Early Cup Cake with Gooey Ganache filling and a Whipped Raspberry Cream Turd on top. That was 2 batches of 32 cup cakes each within 2 weeks… that will do it for a while.

It’s one of those where you can eat during the movies. They stopped charging a premium price and now you are no longer forced to eat something there.

Really liked the bread which I made for Shelby’s birthday. It has it all: Artisan Flour (European style), whole wheat and rye flour, water, milk and mineral water, plus yeast and raw sugar plus salt. Baked at 450°F with several ice cubes giving initial steam and allowing moisture to be trapped within.

She too has turned 18. Only 2 more left.

Sometimes I wish I could take a picture of the smells (roasting veggies with rosemary).

We went for a walk The world is empty.

Happy birthday John!

Bear’s birthday get-together at our house. The kids are dancing downstairs while upstairs the talk centers around funny childhood memories.

These days all seems to be about food. But I did have 6 egg whites left over from making the cheese cakes. What better than meringues? Waking memories of childhood.

Bought yesterday this box of cereal which shows a lot of nuts and cranberries. Today when I opened the box my first thought was that they must have forgotten to add these. But then I found one cranberry. Guess I also found reality.

Guess who’s about to bake several cheese cakes (traditional and yogurt version) for Saturday?

We went to HOULIAN’s for dinner, eating our way through appetizers, mini-entrees and a dessert for three. Much better food than the Greek the other day. Ended his birthday with watching SHUTTER ISLAND to which I’d only give a 2 star rating.

A wide angle would show that this only captured about half of the people assembled in the room. Traditional get-together, this year late in the game.

She loves this cap.
