  • Tonight DH is finally going to be home before 9pm (he has been going to a friends house to build a dog box on the back of my truck) so hopefully we can do something fun tonight. Saturday we are going to do a bit of spring cleaning during the day and then saturday night our friends and their baby are coming over for a movie, and dinner. Sunday, probably relaxing. but I'm sure I can find something to do. H is going to be back up to his friends house  to do some power washing.

     

  • Tonight I have to go to my MIL house for dinner. God knows how I love that. Though I am bringing an excuse to leave early. A. My God Daughter & B.I have to be @ Port Everglades at 6:00am for work tomorrow to measure a Club on a ship. Ofcourse I am taking my little Pork Chops w/ me & then we are off to have lunch at Hollywood Beach w/ My aunt & cousin.

    Sunday we will be heading to Las Olas to have Lunch w/ my Best Friend & ofcourse we are going to be doing a little shopping in between. Since I have not been able to spend time w/ her because of work.

     So that's my Weekend.

    Hope you all have a Great One! 

  • DH has to work most of the weekend and I'm dog sitting for my friend's two dogs (who are the cutest things ever).  I'm using their quiet house to get alot of work done on my dissertation and finish grading student papers.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!
  • Tomorrow I'm getting the carpets cleaned, so while I'm hanging out for that I'm thinking of tackling a DIy project. Sunday, we're having lunch with my family. Today, I'm taking a chair to get re-upholstered. And hopefully this weekend someone is stopping by to check out a piece of furniture that we are selling. I also want to try a recipe that I found yesterday for picadillo, looks simple enough.

    Claire,

    Yesterday I was at Publix and I picked up a King Cake! I though of you, it had the little baby and everything. DH said it's not as great as Randazzo's (sp?) in New Orleans, but it was still pretty good. Did you end up getting one?

    Hey - yep, I got three from Publix. Two for my students and one for DH and I.  It was good. Definitely not as good as the ones from back home, but not too bad.  It tasted more like a danish then a sweet bread, but it helped my craving for a King Cake.  The Publix by my house ran out of babies, so I only had one baby for three cakes.  I let my students find the one baby and they had fun with that. 

  • LOL That sounds like fun, I bet the kids had a blast. My baby came seperate in a plastic bag, I thought it was supposed to be in the cake. Oh well, maybe they figured it would be a choking hazard with those unfamiliar with the hidden baby.

    Yeah, it always comes separate. The buyer puts the baby in the cake.  Who ever finds the baby had good luck for the year.  When I was working in LA, we would get King Cake each Friday during the entire season. So who ever found the baby had to buy the next King Cake.

  • Oh, yes, I got the King Cake from Publix too!  I have never tried an authentic one, but this one was very good... def tasted like a danish.  I had bought 2 for my party on Tuesday, and had one whole cake leftover.  I took it to my doctor's office yesterday... everyone was in heaven.  LOL

    And ours brought little babies seperately... when I inquired, they said a few yrs ago a young child choked on the baby; so ever since, they  place them on the side.

  • I was getting ready to respond to the original question, but now I'm really craving a king cake. lol Hope Publix still has them, even though I'm pretty sure it's not part of my diet. lol

    ok so weekend, going out with my mom tonight as "girls night out" tomorrow have a training in the morning than going out with a friend at night, Then on Sunday hopefully going Jenny's house with Cynthia to see baby Abby at night going over a friends house with dh to cook dinner.

  • If Publix has any King Cakes left, then it will be in the Bakery.  However, technically the last day to buy King Cakes is Mardi Gras day which was Tuesday.  They will not be making any more so it's just what is left.  Good luck finding some!
  • It's possible you can special order one.  When I went on Monday to buy one, they had sold out... I asked the bakery, and they told me I can special order them for Tuesday.  If you really want one, try it!
