Afterglow

 

Not much today-the weekend was so nice I'm just kind of basking in the glow.  

Sadly, I didn't take a single photo.  We spent Saturday watching our grand daughter playing two LaCrosses.  Weather was perfect, sunny and just warm enough that we could take off our sweaters. 

Mother's Day Sunday daughter and her clan were here for dinner.  We made a paella and had a cavalcade of desserts. I made what I thought was going to be a silky, smooth pots de creme and I gave it a Brule crust. Sugar cookies from an 1870's recipe belonging to Patrick Henry's granddaughter, and a cream cheese pound cake. But the pots de creme recipe is going down.  It didn't stay pudding-y, it solidified into a true solid ganache. Ugh. Too much!  That's one recipe I won't save.  

Today I told PH it seemed strange not to be baking something and then saw the rhubarb I cut the other day sitting in the refrigerator.  Blueberry muffins swapping out the blueberries with the rhubarb took care of that.

Our weather is clear and cool.  Too cool to sit on the porch and read but they offer the 80's by this weekend.  

If we are going to have a couple more cool days I dug out the house blocks I made ages ago, trimmed them and will put them together to at least get them that far.

We are a bit tired of the unusually cool weather but the flowers are blooming, the birds nesting and grass needing to be cut. And I told PH come July we'll wish for this cool weather.
