beef enchiladas, yoghurt, measuring for ice cream, hand cream, coffee cake

Friday morning (9/28) was a very productive morning in the kitchen.  Michael left early for his last round of scoring at a golf tournament and I got 3 pans of beef enchiladas put together:

 

yoghurt started in the crockpot:

 

 the base for lactose free Chocolate Decadence ice cream:

 

and a bunch of hand cream for the craft fair in 3 weeks (the top one is a re-fill, that’s why the label is smudged...I certainly don't want you to think I put out anything less than....perfection J):

 

It was 11:30 by the time I finally finished cleaning up, so I headed downstairs for a marathon of knitting.  I finished one necklace and got another one strung with beads.  I went upstairs around 4 to bake 2 coffee cakes, and while they were baking, got to sit out on the porch and visit with Susan (neighbor) for awhile: 

 

 

Michael came home from his second day of scoring totally exhausted….so he took a quick nap and an even quicker shower and we packed up one of the coffee cakes while still warm (and a pan of enchiladas) and headed off for a visit with Sally and Jimmy.  Jimmy’s first week of chemo/radiation is over and he is still doing wonderfully well.  After our visit, we sped up to Nancy’s to pick up a quilt she had quilted for me (pictures next week) and then beat the rain home for grilled ham and cheese sandwiches and knitting in the evening while watching TV.
