Last night a friend accompanied me to Jason's gig and we had a great dinner while watching Jason's show. It's not often I get to see him play, so I really enjoy when I get to see a show. The wonderful boyfriend that he is, he learned a song from a band I really like, Tea Leaf Green, and surprised me with it last night. It's a jam band, so it's not a mainstream song most would know, so it was especially sweet knowing that it was just for me.
This is him at one of his gigs...
Today I made this upside-down cherry cake with the cherries. (Sorry, not the best picture.)
I also cleaned and made my own laundry detergent. I was a little skeptical about this, but two friends tried it and not only is it cheaper, but they both swear it smells better and does a better job. I'll have to let you know later if it does a better job, but it smells so good. You can use it in the dishwasher, too. Really, I tested it and nothing leaked and suds didn't overtake the kitchen.
Tomorrow will hopefully be spent outside, going for a bike ride, a walk, and cooking out. Enjoy the weekend!
What a sweet guy! Did you pit all those cherries by hand? It looks so good! Angry Chicken just blogged about a super cute cherry pitter. But that's another gadget I'd only use once a year :)
ReplyDeleteI did do them by hand and I saw that post! I want to get one before I make anything else with cherries. It was kind of a pain. But you are right, it's something else to take up space for once or twice a year. I wonder if they make any small hand-held ones?
ReplyDeleteI bet it was a pain! I pitted just a small handful recently for a cherry sauce and it was pretty tedious. I'm sure that someone somewhere makes a small cherry pitter. Probably Williams-Sonoma for $150 :)
