BAKING 101

#1. Put on a clean apron. –Pip’s got rule #1 covered.

Peter arrived home this afternoon just as my mom departed for Kamloops. We had a great weekend, even though I totally forgot to take Tabs to her swimming lesson at 8:30 this AM. Cactus Club was a lot of fun. Class was fun but exhausting. It was great to have Amanda and Daniel visit. Mom worked like a trooper all weekend–helping me with the girls and the house. Mist talked her into baking our famous “Lemon Squares.” And then throughout the evening Mistaya helped herself to one too many and woke me at 5AM this morning to report that she’d just thrown-up from eating too many Lemon Squares! I asked her how many she’d had–she counted over 8!!! This from a 5’2″ 72 lb string bean. 
Yes, normally she would never have been allowed to over indulge like that but I was busy chatting with Amanda and my mom for the evening and failed to note how many she was taking. Managed a short hike around the mountain late today with Pete.
Peter has just taken the girls to work with him to do God knows what exactly–but it is a wee break for me. I am going to draw a bath and read my new book “The Inner Ape”–so excited about this book. It’s all about Bonobos (one of my favorite creatures) and humans and how we are alike. And then an evening meditation to sort my mind…

    It was great to see you guys this weekend. I blame your mom’s lemon squares for the fact that my jeans were a little tighter than usual on Sunday morning… but it was worth it – they were delicious. Glad I stopped before 8 though – poor Mistaya. The wooden leaf serving plate is beautiful by the way – very zen indeed.
