a spring day and a family meal

 

i spent a good part of the day making salads and a flourless chocolate cake for dinner tonight, and then met kendall in the park for tea at a new place in the neighborhood. i love when the allium are all in bloom.

 

burgers with cole slaw, brown rice with kidney beans and dill, and tomatoes and onions . . a very summery meal.

korrina was here for dinner . . and we went over her latest knitting projects and what needles she'll need for them.

i thought the cake came out well . . but korrina and chanda didn't finish theirs. i like it because it's not too sweet, and it's not "cakey" (i've never liked cake . . or rather, baked cake! i prefer the batter before it's cooked . . always have . . licking the bowls clean when my mom baked was something i always looked forward to and i thought i would let my children have this special treat, except they don't seem to like it as much as me, so i still get to lick the bowls even now).

vacuuming . . (spring cleaning)

sorting through old books . . 

pluto is checking on what we're up to . . and he's also walking on the knitted scarves i have drying after being washed.

back in queens, wash the cat made himself at home in korrina's new purple suitcase.
