The gateau was delicious - I really liked the addition of the raspberries. And here is all that remains - LOL
One little piece. I had a slightly smaller piece than that for dessert last night, Colin had a rather healthy sized piece and Fletch had a piece for a snack later on. The balance of it went home with Colin for he and Mailing to enjoy (he was thinking breakfast this morning).
The mail yesterday brought the weekly grocery ads and I saw that one of the stores we shop at has local (probably NJ) peaches for $0.49/lb! I'm thinking a peach pie is in the forecast for us.
As always, thanks for your comments on my posts. I love hearing from you! Several of you mentioned that I should take knitting on the boat while on Hilton Head. That won't be happening!! First of all, I'm going to be way too hot to knit and second, the boat is really a shuttle between bars which means you ride a little bit then get off to go to a bar...get back on...ride a bit more...get off again. Staying on the boat is not really an option, especially since the LD has asked me to set up a photographer to meet us at various stops. As I said before, this is his meeting, not mine...his idea of a fun time...not mine. But, I will survive.
Weekend plans include getting Tyg to the vet tomorrow for his annual well-check (cracks me up that they actually do call it a well-check...just like with your child) and shots. It will be traumatic for sure as he does not like the car and does not like the vet. His lips are still pink and swollen which happens every summer. He is not a cat who tolerates heat and humidity well, plus I think he has allergies.
Other than that no plans except the usual groceries, laundry and cleaning (I MUST clean the bathrooms). Hoping for plenty of down time for reading and knitting.
Wishing you all the best of weekends!! Enjoy.
(Still thinking about your dessert . . . YUM.) I've also been thinking about your bar-hopping boat ride. Have you tried any of the sun-protection clothes that are available these days? Tom uses them for his fishing trips where he is out in the sun for days at a time -- and they work. I've noticed that there are lots of options for women, too -- cute options (dresses and tunics and pants, etc.) -- that are cool to wear, protective, and quick-drying. (Just a thought.) XO
ReplyDeleteThat's a ridiculously low price for peaches! I'd come home laden.
ReplyDeletePiper's allergies are in full swing, too. He takes as much Zyrtec as my husband does. Come to think of it, he snores as much, too. LOL.
I’m so sorry about th strip. Too bad this person won’t take into consideration the fact that the majority don’t want to go. Those peaches sound like an amazing price. I would be buying lots! I dread the first trip to the vet with the girls. Neither of them like the car or carriers. I know I’ll need to schedule it when Dennis can go too.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Betsy
Good luck with the vets. I HATE taking cats to the vets. It makes me so nervous. They howl all the way I feel like a big old meany.
ReplyDeletedoes any cat like going in a car or to the vet??? Holly looks pathetic and defeated but thankfully not combative. Our previous cat was a stinker to get into a carrier. Lovely dessert!!
ReplyDeleteI think Tyg and I have the same feelings about heat and humidity! Have an enjoyable weekend.
ReplyDeleteWishing Tyg a good visit to the dr. Hope all goes well for YOU too.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to Tyg on his vet visit.. cats do hate cars, don't they? Your dessert looks like it was delish. I'm sure you'll have some fun on the boat event. Hope so! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteWe've had delicious peaches here this month ... yum! Hope your weekend is full of the good stuff (once those bathrooms are clean ;-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the vet. Mia is so wild when it comes to going to the vet, that we started using a vet who comes to the house. And even then she's wild and crazy. So the vet lets me check in with her and we skip the vet visits until absolutely needed -- ie when she needs her booster shots. lol! The vet can't get a good look at her anyway, so that's it.
ReplyDeleteFezzik gets his rabies shot this weekend too!
ReplyDeleteTough on both you and Tyg at the vet-hope it goes well.
ReplyDeleteI think I would still bring the knitting for a security blanket!!! lol
My Hank has swollen and itchy eyes everyday. I have to give him Benadryl every morning. Your week sounds so hectic, but yummy.
