Annette baked the yummy cherry chip cake from a mix last night, then I poked holes in the top of the cake this morning and onto that , I spooned my jello mixture. It was a small packet of jello mixed into a half cup of boiling water, then left to set till it started to gel. I then made sure it dripped into the holes I made with a skewer, about an inch apart all over the top of the cake. I popped the cake back into the fridge to set the jello a little more before applying the icing. The flavour, in the end was an amazing jolt of raspberry in the cherry chip cake. Topped with strawberries, it gave one's mouth the full berry experience!
Annette, before we waded out to the dock. Note the water is coming down, but our water-oops firepit is still full of water.
This is the waterfront side of the huge house that is being built below the highway, just before you approach Longbeach road. It is quite amazing... exposed beams, agragate concrete and even a littel character in a suit of armour guarding the front deck... all very architecturally perfect.. It was fun to see the lakeside,as the back doesn't reveal too many details from the road side. Nice big yacht parked there as well...
The new Budlight with Lime... pretty tasty but one or two is about enough before a person switches to real beer!
Dad and daughter just hangin'
The gals at one table and the men were on the lower deck... Can't say it was the best arrangement, but it works for us old folks!
Peter BBQ'd his yummy hamburgers and everyone brought something so it was a delicious pot luck dinner! Not to mention three deserts...the Canada Day cake, a wonderful apple cake in a bundt pan ,topped with a hot caramel sauce, ( by Deb) and Linda brought her famous Plum pie with a cobbler type crust on top... yum!
Peter, ever the happy cook!
It was a fun day and now we are all heading to bed with full tummies... Hope yours was great too!
