This week was a blast! Susan, my bff/boss/running budding/partner in crime/baking compadre/cookbook junkie/and lover of all things Abbie cooks and eats was in town this week for work and we managed to squeeze in some play time too. First we had to give Hazel the 4-1-1 on the proper way to eat sushi. Let's just say she mastered the art of sushi and now it's her dinner of choice.
Because Susan and I are a little ummm...baking obsessed shall we say, we meticulously planned our "dessert menu" for the week. Desserts included Boston Cream Pie Cupcakes, Salted Caramel Squares, Coffee Toffee Bars, Fennel Ice Cream, and Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Chocolate Ganache. So obviously lots of running was on the "menu" too. 13.2!
After a long day of working off all those desserts we decided to clean up and join the Black Raven, a touring Pirate Ship. Susan wore her best pirate-dress and blended in quite nicley.
Hazel is trying out for the part of Rose in Titanic...who is also surprised to be surrounded by a load of quacks pirates.
Face painting was the highlight of the trip, although Hazel kept referring to her turtle as a mermaid. Maybe the pirate/artist had a little too much...um...rum?
Bye Bye Crazies Pirates! Kisses!
After abandoning ship, we ended the day with a seafood feast! Raw oysters, local shrimp, crab legs and lots of laughs.
And off she rode into the living room sunset . Come back soon Susan!
