No Peaches!

Pam and I had been planning to make something with peaches today for the past week. We had thought we'd wake up, go over to the farmers market, and find some super delicious and perfect peaches to celebrate the start of summer with a peach pie or some kind of peach shortcakes. It sounded wonderful until I woke up much later than I expected to wake up and found myself not in the mood for peaches. I wanted to try a creme brulee I'd been eyeing lately. When Pam woke up I said I wasn't feeling too peachy, and ran the new idea by her. She agreed that a creme brulee or a chocolate mousse sounded yummy, so we decided we'd make that today. I had no ramekins, and she had 2 and a half (one is tiny!) so we figured we'd bike over to Marshalls and see if they had any...but first, Tim and I were off to walk the dog to Target because I decided I wanted a nice starbucks frappachino to start my Saturday morning. So we wander on over, and I got a java chip frappachino and I got Tim a strawberries and cream frappachino, and when I walked out, Navi had an admirer petting her and gushing to Tim about her. I know, I know, my dog is simply the most incredible and awe-inspriring doggy in the world.

Then we wandered back home, and Pam wandered over, and then Pam and I wandered to more stores than I had expected to wander to. Marshalls didn't have any good quality ramekins...neither did Ross...so we wandered into Bed Bath & Beyond and emerged with some good-enough ramekins, birthday candles that burn different colors, and an unexpected teapot. I'd gotten tired of boiling water in a saucepan and having close encounters between my feet and spilled boiling water, so I fell in love with a pretty green teapot and brought it home. I was even more delighted when I got home, decided to make some chai, and discovered that the inside of the teapot is a beautiful, deep blue. I love colors.

Pam and I spent the remainder of the day making the custard for the creme brulee, making penne with vodka sauce for dinner, watching silly TV shows, taking impromptu rides to Lucky when I realized I didn't have ham for the penne with vodka sauce, and Pam even made a quick cake so we could try out the new birthday candles that we'd found for no reason at all but that they are cool.
