After messing up the first batch (don’t ask) the second came out looking wonderful. Right now I’m just waiting for it to set. I even took pictures.

As proof of my good intentions I would like to present this week’s menu:

It was a busy weekend around here. Saturday was birthday-party-palooza, followed by tired-kids-who-ate-too-much-sugar-meltdown-palooza. And today featured yet one more birthday party.
