The blog of Oh Sweet Day!
Are you getting your kids and even yourself ready for school? Not us. Yet. We may still have at least a week or two after Labor Day before we are informed that our kids are able to go to school if the teachers’ strike is over. That’s just my hope because it could go another month. Kids anywhere else are all excited to go back to school. Except those in British Columbia, Canada, who totally suck! And their parents? Suck more!
Last Friday was my cousin Kaman’s birthday. Her very first one away from home. Her very first one with our family. She told me chocolate cheesecake was her favourite when I asked about it a month ago because I knew her birthday was coming. The day before her birthday she wasn’t sure if I remembered and asked me, “Hmmm…I was wondering what cake are you going to make tomorrow?” And that’s all 17-year-olds concern – Do I get a cake? Or do I get a new phone for my birthday?
I don’t normally post a lot of savoury dishes. Not that we only eat sweets. NO. God No! We eat a lot of rice, pasta, meat, seafood, salad… Just when it comes to dinner time, it’s always chaotic because collecting my kids to the dinner table is one hell of a task. Not to mention grabbing my camera and taking pictures.
One of my clients called to order a gluten-free dessert for his aunt who is crazy about pumpkins. When it comes to pumpkins, the most logical dessert would probably be pumpkin pie or cake. And they can easily be converted into gluten-free baked goods. However, it’s not fall yet, it doesn’t seem right to have pumpkin pie during summer!
I know. I know. We just can’t get enough home made ice cream. Never enough. Simply because it’s too good to resist. I found home made ice cream really the best. And the fact that you can improvise whatever flavour you want is just unbeatable.
