What a nice day. Cloudy with patches of blue, cool and dry. Saturday was a lot wetter, but it cleared up enough for me to go to Everett for the Sorticulture festivities. Punctuality has always been very important to me. It's fine to be early and have to wait, but unacceptable to be a minute late. With that in mind I left home in time to contend with traffic and parking, and was surprised to find myself with only 6 or 8 cars in the lot, unheard of, and I wasn't even THAT early! Well, hourly I was OK, but just a week early. It is at a nice Arboretum though so the time was well spent.
The 'Norwegian biscotti' I made this morning is pretty good.Lemon peel,citron,almonds,cardamom and 3oz. of sweet wine for flavoring, and unbleached whole wheat flour, eggs and butter for the base. Need more cardamom next time.
Mary, you've got that "stuff" definition down to a tee.Don't need it till after you throw it away.That trip to and from the Airport must have been tiring.Sounds like he had a good time though.
Sarv, that's something I've often wondered.When they make fried rice who's to know if some leftovers made their way into the new stuff or not? I think the Health Inspectors probably keep an eye out for things like that.
Went for a drive in the country yesterday and stopped at a friends farm where the pasture tenant had unloaded more horses. They were frolicking something fierce. Stampeding,jumping, and having a wonderful time. Quite a sight.
