Mother's Day Dinner...

we all came together and purchased this awesome BBQ...and Karolina has outdone herself once again...
spicy shrimp...
mini potatoes with dill...
mmmmm chicken wings....
grilled veggie medley...
green beans...
Jay and I brought dessert... a Godiva Temptation Cake from Noisette Pastry Works...
"Alternating layers of hazelnut and chocolate sponge cakes. Rich chocolate cream and hazelnut buttercream create the fillings. Covered in chocolate, surrounded and pierced with shards of almond brittle"
The cake was to celebrate two events... however I forgot to purchase birthday candles... and Kinga had to blow out a tea light...
everyone agreed that it was one of the best cakes ever...

they turned out to be $0.10 each…

I need to become more aware while I shop and pay attention to price tags...

this glue stick is so old it changed color from white to this... it glues better than the new one I got last week... i had no idea that glue could get better with age...

study aid...

amaretto and ginger ale, garnished with a mini pear and maraschino cherry... not exactly a smart choice, but definitely tasty...
