Until I turn 61 years old. This last week before my birthday has been pretty crazy. The weather has been amazing, with spring temperatures.
The last minute holiday baking and cooking has been intense. I got shrimp from Boarman’s the other day, in order to make steamed shrimp with Old Bay. The requested dish for my brother’s Christmas Eve party.
I made two kinds of cookies today. Chocolate pistachio and chocolate chocolate chunk.
These cookies again came from Bon Appetit. Hard to make. They tended to break up when slicing. But, very good. Particularly with red wine, for dessert tonight.
As for the weather, with the doors open today (it hit 72 degrees here), the starlings made a huge racket in the trees out back.
Thankfully, they weren’t nailing my bird feeders.
As for the last week of my 60th year, I did request that we try and go to the newly opening Highland Inn for brunch on my birthday. That is, if they open in time.
On the way home from Boarman’s yesterday, they looked like they were close to opening but who knows.
I saw their new menu on Facebook today. A bit pricey, but for special occasions, like those where we used to go to King’s Contrivance, they might be a new local special place.
We shall see.
