what a day

today was another Father's Day spent without the father. well, that is only to say that he was at work and won't be back until tomorrow afternoon. oh firefighting! so we'll actually be celebrating daddy-o's big day on monday.

anywho, i celebrated today by going on a baking slash cleaning spree which was pretty relaxing.

dad declared this his new absolute favorite dessert EVER! and that's a pretty bold statement coming from a man who doesn't really fancy dessert. but the nilla praline cheesecake has won him over. so i made that today in prep for tomorrow.



i also decided, on a whim, to make a lemon cake, which was uber delicious! except with the oven being on all day, it made the kitchen quite toasty. so that explained why the pudding layer was melting which caused the top layer to slide off when i tried to cut the cake. oh well, it was so::: good anyways



tomorrow i'll be making balsamic salmon with green beans amandine for dinner and i'm super stoked for it!



i also might bring in some bread to work since i keep neglecting to bring maviela a dessert. hm...i hope i can pencil that in
