Last night I took my boiled oranges cake to my buddy, Wheezy’s, place in Yaletown and enjoyed a good old-fashioned potluck. Not one of us brought salad or veggies, so my cake served as a serving of fruit for the meal.
We enjoyed delicious scalloped potatoes – Wheezy does them up right, some Chinese food, pot stickers and ham.
Cake review: Very marmalade-y, very rich & dense, very moist (ew. That’s an awful word). However, I did spread a thick coating of Nutella on the top and that cut that bitter, orange peel taste down to a manageable level. Also, a little goes a long way – you only need a little piece and it’s very filling.

One good thing about the sunrise happening late in the morning is that I’m actually awake to see it happening. I could not believe it when I got off the bus this morning. It wasn’t raining. I could see the sun. It was mostly dry and warm. The buildings were sparkling and everything. I stopped and took photos before I went to work.

Quilting Bee was a smashing success tonight. We had Berene from happysewlucky come speak to our group tonight! She create cute little stuffies and adorable Christmas ornaments and happy skulls for Halloween. She brought her son, Noah, he’s about 12, I’d say, and he designs fabric, too.
As per usual for Thursday night after Quilting Bee, I am SPENT. It was a glorious evening. I have many photos to post. And tomorrow I’m on card making duty, so I’m excited to get that done and done. The craft fair starts tomorrow night.
Lorne turned 49 years young today. Huzzah! We celebrated with sushi at Sushitown and then with cupcakes and tea at our place, afterward. It was a lovely time. Yup. We really partied hard tonight – with chamomile tea and everything.
