2014 Cookie Week, Day 5

Just kidding.

I don’t really have a day 5.  Cause today is Friday and that’s the day I just ramble.

Rambling on….

I’ve had a fun week, not only did Jes come for a long weekend, my friend Mercedes from Houston came for four days.  We did a lot of shopping and eating. 

Speaking of shopping and eating, Terry, Michelle, Mercedes, Jes and I went to Hyde Park in Tampa for a quick shopping fling before an airport drop off and had lunch at Piquant.  So good.  Our server made us feel like we were special guests and the food was WONDERFUL.  Highly recommend. 

On the menu was Banana Bread French Toast.  We didn’t order it, but it peaked my interest and I had a loaf of homemade banana bread from Vera.  So I went out to Pinterest and found a recipe.  Oh YUM!

I used this recipe for Banana Bread French Toast.  Except I didn’t have the half and half so just used fat free milk.  And didn’t have kumquats.  (Does anyone have kumquats other than the ones on the neighbor’s tree?)

Next week I’m doing a CHRISTMAS WEEK!

Just random shots of the Most Wonderful Week of the Year.

Come back, check it out.  

Time to let Myra know my picks for the weekend!

So much going on.  First, we’re having a Christmas Golf Cart Parade on Friday night at 6 pm.  It starts at the Old Mill, winds through back streets, and ends up at the Freezer.  

It’s also Friday Night Thunder in Inverness.  Very cool cars–both old and new–and caroling. 

The 2014 Christmas Celebration of Lights starts at the Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park on Friday night continues through Dec 26th but is closed on Christmas. There’s a different theme every night along with the light and music show.  Well worth the $5 donation.

Saturday night is the Old Homosassa Christmas Boat Parade.  (According to the newspaper, it starts at 6 pm, not 5 pm like I erroneously reported last week)  The Tammy Hatch Band will be performing at the Shed.

Have a great weekend!
