Daddy-o Day

Well, we're all back home except for one favorite elderly cat who will get picked up tomorrow. We tried to take X-man out to breakfast this morning, but he was unhappy about doing anything that required him to leave his house after being gone for five days. So, we decided to say "Blah!' to breakfast and instead X-man played with Daddy (and all of the toys he hadn't seen in days), while I ran out to the store and got a week's worth of groceries.

In the cards was a picnic lunch in the front yard, which turned out pretty nice. We had sandwiches on Ciabatta bread, fruit and some potato salad. There is a lemon daisy cake cooling on the oven, and I got all the necessities to make the fruity mimosas from Beth's wedding (Dude, that was like 9 years ago!) as a special father's day treat tonight.

I'm also prepping some Greek kabobs and making these cool baguette, tomato, mozzerella things from weight watchers. 

Now the trick is going to be keeping to one piece of cake (I successfully avoided Joel's summer sausage at lunch). So, um, I might just put it out of sight and take it for the kids to eat at the garden meet up on Thursday. :-) It's a great summer cake. 

I hope you're all having a great Father's Day!
