This morning I made some caramel, roasted some pecans, and then baked some brownies with caramel pecan topping- it has been a while since I brought treats to class, and everyone was very appreciative. Since I knew there would only be two other students in my class today, I only brought a dozen brownies (one for each teacher, one for each student, and a couple of extras). They were gone quickly, and another dozen probably still wouldn't have been too many if I had brought them...which I should have. Because now it is the weekend, and we have a dozen brownies tempting us.
After class, I took the metro across the bridge to the Carrefour to pick up a couple of things (like pepperoni) that I can't get anywhere else. While I was there, I picked up everything to make a pineapple upside down cake for Albert. (Even found a small jar of cherries to decorate the pineapple rings.) The original idea was to make a pineapple upside down cake for his birthday tomorrow, but with the brownies and the milk duds that Kathy sent for his birthday, I think we have plenty of dessert for a while. Maybe in a week or so....
I have a couple of small things for Albert's birthday, but all in all I expect it will be a pretty quiet day.
