Hey Girlie Girls~

Wassup? T-Bear is still trying to get out of the country - a little slower pace than she would like. But, we are a tryin'. RD is working for Lance - busy bustin' his muttons on rock breaking! He has some pretty funny tales to tell.

It was a great M-Day! I was so very lucky to have both of the skiddos home and have daddy and kathy here as well. Taylor treated us to pedicures - followed by a round of applause at the salon - in honor of all the mother's there:") And last night sweet Jimbo hosted a backyard bbq for T-Bear going away. Needless to say - there was enough for about 30-40 people. They have an UNbelievable outdoor kitchen/pool/HOT Tub area. Wolfgang would give his eye tooth for this facility to have a roof over it.

But, there has been lots of cooking in between. The Cardamom thing a ma jigs were great. I like the topping, consistency (or texture) and the slightly sweet taste. Not overwhelming at all. And, the chocolate brownie - well - should we just say - b-e-a-utiful!! Loved the cherries in there. I wasn't so sure I would, but Holly convinced me otherwise - and rightfully so. Taylor especially liked the icing/mousse. Had to forgo the lemon tart. I feel a little like Lucy in the episode where the conveyer belt picks up the pace and she and Ethyl are a eatin' and a stuffin' the chocolate bon bons in their aprons!!

But, I am definitely going to try the meatballs...soon.


In the name of sisterly love,
