The weekend, briefly

The weekend was long and full. Lots of cooking and baking, two family birthday parties, and four loads of laundry on Monday afternoon.

*Baxter is an almost unbelievably adorable lab-rottweiler mix around a year old. He has a congenital hip disorder, and he recently had surgery to fix it, so he's recovering at my parents' home. He'll eventually need a permanent home, so if anyone in the general SoCal area is looking for a pup, feel free to email me. The whole family has fallen for him and his huge head, but we'd be thrilled if we could place him in a good home.

  1. those lemon desserts look insane, but i must say...Baxter takes the cake. could he be any cuter/sweeter looking?

    and thanks a lot for making me really really want lemon pie right now. Is it acceptable to have such a thing for breakfast??

  5. I don't live anywhere near California (Southeastern PA) but if I did, I'd scoop him up in a second.
