Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
See the beauty up above? (the custard, not the flower)
It takes fifteen minutes to put together – I know, I timed it myself.
And then you have to wait 4 hours to eat it – I know, we looked at the clock a total of (and I’m not kidding) a hundred times.
I been neglecting my Tuesday with Dorie group. But I had to be honest the last recipes just have not caught my attention at all, and I have to say I’m sort of picky when it comes to making desserts. If I truly don’t love it, then why waste ingredients in making something that I’m not going to eat in the first place?
I’m sticking to that, sorry folks, that is how the cookie crumbles around my house.
But I could not PASS UP this weeks choice picked for us to try by Betsy at A Cup of Sweetness. I’m a huge fan of lemon poppyseed muffins and I’m always looking for the right balance of lemony goodness and sweet. So I have eaten A LOT of lemon muffins in my lifetime.
And sadly I have not found it yet, they are always way to sweet or way to lemon-y. So when I saw these, I thought to myself - Ok, Dorie, show me what you got.
This past Saturday was my best friends birthday.
“M” and I known each other for over 20-plus years - more if I really count, but then that means that I’m old, as in really old and who wants to be reminded of that?
“M” and I meet in junior high school. It was at the bus stop and the new kid in town and she approached me and asked me what my name was, simple as that, straight to the point and fearless. Turned out we had a lot in common. After that we pretty much became inseparable, we lived in the same street, only 10 houses away from each other. Summer were spent by the pool, at first splashing, and then as we got older trying to pick the cool boys up. She has been there thru my first kiss, my first boyfriend, my first heartbreaks, my freaked outs, my many moves around the city and then out of the country. We have lived together, we have traveled together, we have each other’s backs. She has witness all of my failures, my success and everything in between. And she has always been there, a steady beacon to my chaotic life. I cannot image my life without her in it. It just would not make sense.
