Fabulous Sunday Part 2...on a Thursday...

What can I say i'm a busy gal ;)

So where was I? Oh yes, gorgeous sunny day. Energizing bike ride. Delicious breakfast. What more could one want?

Well, my answer is a picnic. With good company.
Wish granted :)

My friend Angie just returned from a 3 month stay in Holland (lucky!). Missed her so much and we had so much to catch up on so we decided to spend the afternoon together. We had such a good time~chatting, drinking wine, painting our nails with some new crackle nail polish I just bought and listening to PBS opera. A Chinese American political opera...who knew?

Before we headed out to get food for our picnic we decided to play America's favorite board game...


What's that you say? Scrabble is not America's favorite board game?!?! A triple letter and a triple word score on the word 'zebra' might persuade you, no? :)

After a riveting game, we headed off to pick up some goodies for our picnic.

On the menu:
Warm (fresh from the oven!) French Baguette from Panera's mmmmmmmm
Goat cheese
Strawberry Jam
Sundried tomatoes
baby carrots
pineapple & blueberry fruit salad
VINO! of course ;) {It was supposed to be reminiscent of a picnic we had in France at the Eiffel Tower :)

Grabbed our food & drink and headed out to a local park to enjoy. It was a gorgeous breezy, sunny afternoon..couldn't be happier.



I sometime forget how gorgeous Florida is...




I am extremely happy when surrounded by trees & greenery. Something new I am learning about myself. But then I am reminded that trees have nothing on a delicious dessert. Few things in the world bring me happiness more than a delicious dessert. One of them being Two delicious desserts ;)



Eclairs for our time in Paris. Chocolate covered Tiramisu for our time in Italy.
La Dolce Vita.

It was a wonderful end to a wonderful day. Looking forward to many more.....

Do you have any special foods that bring memories of a special event/time in your life?

Don't ask...Don't tell...

Don't ask where the weekend went....
I can't tell you.

Don't ask what time I was up on Saturday to do some cake decorating....

I don't want to tell.



Don't ask what's in those beautiful creations I labored 6.5 hrs of my life over....

I'm afraid to tell.

Don't ask what's been consumed this weekend....

I can't remember to tell.

It's amazing what we don't stop to think of when life gets a little hectic. Sometimes life gives way to healthy food choices. Sometimes time never feels abundant enough to be prepared for better choices. Sometimes laziness is what it all can be summed up into. Sometimes necessity to enjoy life gives way to worrying about ones food choices. They say necessity is the mother of invention. After stopping to think about a few choices i've made this weekend, I feel inspired to do some recreating. My next creation? You don't have to ask, i'm already willing to tell.....
