Ice Cream time

Found a new ice cream shop by accident. I had toasted coconut and the kid chose chocolate, as usual.

His tea tim snack

Since the India grocey store is far from where we live, this is our monthly quota of Parle-G.

My indulgence

Fresh figs

from the neighbor's yard. She bought them over to share.

Bonding...

 The father son duo decimated the left over birhday cake sent over by friends.

Plum Picking

We went plum picking in our neighbor's yard (by invitation, of course). Nothing matches the taste of fruit picked fresh off the tree.

The great idli saga

I asked, I looked, I even posted on FB. Finally, a combo of 1:5 combo and a hot garage yielded these fluffy idlis.

What's for dinner today?

Bacon chocolate

Can't imagine how it tastes!

Lunch date

Unlike other couples with kids, we have never felt the need for a date night. We do, however, miss eating in restaurants that don't offer a kid's menu. Classic Cafe is as classy as the name suggest and the food is classic without being pretentious or overpriced. It is our special haunt for the times when we are not in the mood for take out.

Ultimate Oreos

Or what is left of them.

Lunch for one

For the first time in my life, I had lunch by myself at the Corner Bakery. The tomato soup was yummy, the chicken panini was good as usual and the chips oily.

Making of mozerella

Central Market sells their own brand of Mozerella which they make in the store.

Burnt

I usually pop raw almonds, pecans and other nuts in a cooling oven. These ones burnt because the oven temp was cooling down from 450 instead of the usual 350.

Our daily bread

The German bakery, Bread Haus, where we buy our daily bread. Technically, I buy a couple of loafs and freeze them.

The Cake Aisle

 

The cake aisle at the local Albertson's. The cakes looks better than they taste. 

All the way from Holland

 

In laws of a friend brought a jar of Dutch peanut butter all he way from Holland only for it to slip and break. I managed to salvage some without getting glass shards mixed in. It was totally worth it.

Lunch

Lunch under the trees at the campus before meeting the study group.

Yummy!

Dinner time

Some fresh and some dried fruits with ricotta cheese make a perfect dinner on the day you feel like eating light.
