…I see you!

Remember that little game? I loved doing that with children, still do. However it is not why I’ve entitled this post as such.

My beautiful girl received this kit for Cmas from Santa. Yes, I still do Santa, but only one gift each. *shrug* It’s a mom thing plus it’s fun…having that extra present under the tree that wasn’t there before but now when you wake up, ta-da!

Back to the fungi ~ She started this kit about a month or so ago. And finally they’re starting to peek out but from up inside where it’s dark. Now almost everyone knows that ‘shrooms like the dark, humid atmosphere combined with just the right soil. However the instructions stated they should be placed in indirect sunlight. I would have done the opposite if it were my kit, but she followed the directions like a good little do-bee.

We are looking forward to a nice crop or two of these lovely delicacies. She and I are mushroom freaks, the boys not so much. Who cares about them anyway ;)

I can’t wait until this year’s Mushroom Festival in Kennett Square with Maya!

Happy Sunday!

Happy Fasnacht Day!  Or as I like to call it “Donut Day”  I don’t believe I’ve ever had a true fascncht. Being 25% (maybe a bit less) Mexican Indian, we didn’t really “do” this as a celebration plus we weren’t Catholic and didn’t observe Lent as it is traditionally observed. Some day I plan on trying one of these treats, perhaps today if I get bored enough to go out haha.

But I do love bakeries. The warm feeling, the beautiful products, the scent of yeast…

Jaime posted on Facebook about a bakery in the UK…maybe I should go on a world tour hahaha  Hannah Banana Bakery    Check it out!

My daughter made vegan donuts over the weekend. I asked her to save me one to try…did she? Yes. Did I get to eat it? No. Why? Because that little turd asked me if I wanted one, I told her I did, but apparently because I didn’t drop everything to eat it, she decided to inhale it for me. >.>  Nice kid, eh?

Here are photos of her creations.

             

The chocolate donuts are a work in progress she says…not chocolately enough.

I wish I could bake bread without a machine. I probably can, I can do all sorts of other complicated things, why not bread? It scares me lol. I haven’t a clue why. My sister can bake bread really well…I’m sure my nieces can too. Me? Nope. Chicken bwak bwak!

mmm chicken ;)

Speaking of food, gotta figure out tonight’s vegan dinner.

Toodles.

…nope, not Pink Floyd….but the view of the Navesink River in February. The air smells fresh and clean and the morning was quiet. A few people on the dock some out to fish, some taking in the view. It was indeed a nice sight on a Sunday morning.

Now it’s back to reality and life and routine.

Happy Sunday to everyone!
