Handsome Son asked to do his birthday thing mid afternoon today. Soooo, not lunch then, not pizza.
Instead I baked two desserts
Pro tip: the ANZAC dough was more than I needed this time, so I converted some to oatmeal for breakfast. What with the oats, butter, honey etc, it was great. Just added milk and cooked stove top.
Beautiful cool weather again, and the patio's looking good
Between allergy pills and cool nights with a quilt on the bed, great sleeping is happening.
Misfits arrived, complete and nice looking
Future plans include chicken, roasted, in salad, sliced, made into broth then soup. Ground turkey for meatballs with pasta. Shells for baking with cheese, strawberries to share with Handsome Son, bar of Chocolonely just because. Likewise nectarines and apples, best desserts.
Happy day everyone, life's short, make sure of dessert.
Now I want chocolate cake too.
ReplyDeleteNot much left now!
DeleteCan I come to your house for meals?
ReplyDeleteJust let me know ahead of time.
DeleteWas glad to see you got your bread this week! Looks like a good box of deliciousness and nutrition to me.
ReplyDeleteOnly got up to 84 degrees here today. Feels almost bearable.
Yes, eighties are like being cool it's lovely.
DeleteI’ve not made Anzac biscuits for ages.
ReplyDeleteYu have a great variety of food, nice and healthy. Even desserts
I don't eat much, so it all has to count, no room for empty calories.
DeleteHappy Birthday to Handsome Son! And I have no idea what Anzac biscuits are, but they do look good.
ReplyDeleteI usually make them in honor of ANZAC Day. There's a whole history about them.
DeleteHappy belated birthday to HS, and Birth Day to you! You two have a good plan for working around the actual date.
ReplyDeleteYummy upcoming meals, and deliciously cool nights, and a blooming patio garden - happy Thursday!

Today's lovely, weather, everything.
DeleteMy senior uncle made his ANZAC biscuits with marmalade.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds good. Noted.
DeleteI'd rather have two desserts instead of lunch! It sounds fun. Big smiles.
ReplyDeleteIt was very well received!
DeleteHappy Birthday Handsome Son!
ReplyDeleteThe food looks delicious.
Birthday day for me today as well. :)
Happy birthday May, and many more!
DeleteYou can never go wrong with fruit. And chocolate.
ReplyDeleteBingo
DeleteYour cake looks delicious! I love chocolate cake. A very nice way to celebrate HS's birthday. I have a small amount of ice cream everyday after lunch. I adhere to your statement about life being short so I do have dessert!
ReplyDeleteFor the cocoa in that cake, take a bow, e! It went down very well
Deletecooler weather here means highs in the low 90s which is predicted for the foreseeable future and it is so appreciated. maybe September won't be horrible.
ReplyDeleteAny relief is welcome. It's all relative
DeleteYou are ANZering the call.
ReplyDeleteSounds like wonderful treats. Happy Belated Birthday to your kiddooooo!
ReplyDeleteI'll pass your good wishes to him.
