Quiche Lorraine and tiramisu cake

Tiramisu cake from Loblaws on Flickr by beFOODled.

Happy Mother's Day to all. My Mom is travelling right now, which is great for her but not for me as I didn't get to see her this weekend. In her honour, let me tell you about Easter weekend at her house. She made S and I salad and cooked ham, and she served a quiche from the Bread and Butter bakery, which was delicious. (This is what Barney was trying to get in my earlier post.) And for dessert, we had a light-as-air tiramisu cake from the Loblaws bakery. I love this cake — it's so heavenly and moist, and the art deco-inspired border is beautiful. I was at Loblaws on Saturday and saw they had another one just ready and waiting for someone to take it home! Thanks Mom. Miss you, and hope you are having fun right now, wherever you are.

Lunch with Barney — up with the paw on Flickr by beFOODled.

Barney is my Mom's cat. He thinks he's human, likes human food, and sits at the table with the adults. Unlike adults, however, Barney has no table manners. The sequence above shows the events that usually unfold during a lunch with Barney. He pretends he's not interested in your food, then he looks at you, then he moves in a little closer, and then up with the paw! If you are not careful, that paw will try to grab your quiche and whatever else Barney fancies on your plate.
