Cooking Blueberry Muffins!!!

Cooking and picnic day with Angelica and Bill.  Luzmina made vegan blueberry muffins with Bill, while Angelica and I did the lunch dishes.  We had a picnic in Prospect Park afterwards, but it was so much fun that we forgot about the camera.

Waiting at the door for Angelica and Bill.

Starting with lemonade and mint.

Rare moment for a self portrait.

Let Angelica sample the lemonade...

...and laugh at her when she says it's too sweet.

Now throw blueberries in the air and catch them in your mouth.

Silly Bill, you forgot the blueberry!

Now down to serious baking.  Mix the flower well with itself.

Add lots of sugar.

Mix again.

Add a little salt... and mix again.

Add some zest from mayor lemons.

Use Bill's trick of flowering the blueberries first before adding to mix so that they don't all sink to the bottom of the mixture.

Contemplate how wonderful life is when you have flower all over your face.

And since these are vegan muffins, add the soy milk mixture.

Mix again.

Spray oil on the pan... and all over the floor.

Place mixture in each compartment and place in the oven.

Now water some plants....

Watch some more birds while waiting to eat a yummy lunch prepared by all of us.

Teach Bill a trick or two...

...and make deals.

Feed the bird feeder.

And finally leave a thank you drawing for the whole apartment.

A DAY IN THE OFFICE

Luz had the day off on Thursday, 18 May.  We went to the DMV, then shopping for her... she got the coolest eighties-style belt! Then off to the office we went

First to have lunch with P. and do some 'people' watching at FIT.

 

Then to do some 'work' in the office.

After which we still had time to get a coffee and do some more 'bird' watching.  There must've been a Bird On My Head, Gerald.

Une petite melodie

When you were INSIDE,
we use to roll this little ball over your warm roof.
And a magical sound, like a morning rain falling on petals, would come.
I was hoping this mysterious music would make you want to come to this world...

Quand tu etais au DEDANS, nous fesions rouler cette petite balle au dessus de ton nid douillet. Alors, un son magique, tel la rosee douce dansant sur des petales, s'elevait. J'esperais que ce son mysterieux te ferait venir plus vite en notre monde...

What are you made from ?
What is inside ?
The mystery inside the ball is like the mystery of pregnancy.

Le meme mystere : qu'y a t il a l'interieur ? De quoi es tu faite ?
Les memes questions que je posais a mon ventre rond.

AND NOW, you are here... And you ask this magic ball the same questions... Where does this beautiful music come from ?

Bon Anniversaire Mamie !!!!

Un bisou et un digadigoudigou (la phrase du moment) pour ma mamie que je verrai tres bientot !!
