Lily's First Work of Art

Someday I'm sure this will be worth millions.

Happy 4th of July!

Well, it was another holiday which means, eating. Lots and lots of eating. So I got to tie on my apron strings and do some cooking and baking.

Since Koichi was not going to be able to come to Independence Day dinner at my parents' house, I made a special Red, White & Blue breakfast for him.

Check out the blueberry pancakes with sliced strawberries and bananas with lemon-flavored syrup. Yep, all home-made my friends.

Then, at my parents' house we had yummy BBQ'd brats and burgers. For desert I made another Red, White & Blue delicacy: blueberry & raspberry pie with vanilla ice cream. Boy, did it hit the spot! My aunt, Cheryl, even said it made the top-10 pies of all time that she's eaten. It was pretty good!

Mmmmmmmm.....pie.
