Rainy Weekend

It was a rainy weekend here, probably 3" of rain on Sunday, but that's less than NYC got, so I'm not griping.

I tried to make a strawberry meringue tort, but it flopped. I spooned it into bowls, and will try it again soon. No need for pictures before it's right.

I created a new ice cream, but haven't tried it yet. You'll probably see pictures and recipe Wednesday.

I finished a lap quilt as a gift to someone. I really, truly hate quilting. Really. I made one in 1999, and swore I'd never make another. Given that track record, I'll probably be cursing another quilt around, oh, 2023. Maybe I'll be smarter by then.

I made an apron for my oldest son's girlfriend. I just thought I should send her a present so she knows we like her, instead of taking my son's word for it. She's very quiet. I loved these colors, and my dearly beloved said this was too pretty to be an apron. It's wrapped and moving out today.

I loved the colors of that apron so much that I made a new bread basket liner. Ryan whined that sewing is bad, but I'm betting he won't gripe when it's wrapped around bread or rolls, keeping them warm for him.
More cooking tonight; maybe even a great cake, since it's rainy and 66 degrees out! Nothing like warming up the kitchen for someone who refuses to wear sleeves in August!
