A mostly relaxing day! I got to sleep in till 10am. I was planning to do some gardening but decided I needed to rest up for the evening's Willy Wonka performance. Instead, I spent the day catching up on some cook book reading and houseplant care. I was excited to receive my recent selections from Amazon.com yesterday and I am really looking forward to baking a few new pastries in the next couple of weeks.
I was particularly delighted to discover that "Baked" bakery has a location in Charleston, SC in addition to the one in New York. I am looking forward to eating there next time I visit Charleston. The first recipe on my shortlist to bake will be the dark chocolate madeleines from the Essential Baker book. I have yet to bake a chocolate madeleine that is memorable, I am hoping this is it.
The four "bulldog" type Paphiopedilum or Lady Slipper orchids I got form the orchid show last weekend have begun to open up nicely. The buds always remind me of "Audrey II" from "Little shop of Horrors". Luckily they are not carnivorous.
I decided I needed a jolt of cafeine before showtime tonight and stopped by Gallery Row Coffeehouse for an ice coffee on my way to the Cultural Arts center. I was delighted to find out they now carry Elmwood Inn tea. To read more about Elmwood Inn, click the link below:
After another successful Willy Wonka performance , I decided a little tea time would be perfect while doing laundry and watching the so called "Super Moon" we were experiencing this evening.
