So this is my second attempt. On the left, lavender honey buttercream and on the right, apricot.
To make the lavender flavor, add 1 tsp of crushed edible lavender flowers to the almond flour. Add some food coloring to make the egg white/almond mixture to make it purple. To the buttercream, add honey to taste.
For the apricot, just apricot preserves but some food coloring to make it orange.

Had a treat from hubby today. He brought me a BBQ pork Vietnamese sandwich and a three color drink.
I like Lee’s Sandwiches baguette they use for the sandwich instead of a big bread roll. They also always have the right amount of pickled veggies and fresh jalapenos. The three color drink was yummy too.
Not sure what’s going on with the kitties but Maxwell and Misu usually do not get along but recently we’ve found them sleeping together.
I wonder if Maxwell is just really cold or Misu has finally calmed down so that Maxwell tolerates him.
So silly Misu got himself tangled up with a paper bag. I was already in bed and Ron had fallen asleep on the couch until he heard some rustling. He awoke to find Misu had somehow gotten the handle of a small brown paper bag around his body. He had probably been sniffing in the bag then perhaps got startled and jerked his head up and ripped off the handle… but we couldn’t figure out how he ended up getting it around his body and not just around his neck…
Then Ron helped him get move it back to his neck so he could shake it off.
I woke up to find the ripped paper bag on my desk and the camera with these photos.

Spent a nice afternoon at Ghirardelli Square at Crown & Crumpet for a bridal shower. Sorry no pictures of the tea party of my own since one of the bridesmaids took all the pictures.
Crown & Crumpet is a very cute tea house, the third I’ve been to in SF. First was Secret Garden and second time at Samovar Tea Lounge. Their scones were delicious and they had this really nice strawberry fields green tea, light with a hint of strawberry flavor.
It was a beautiful day in SF so I walked down to the water while I waited for Ron to pick me up.
I didn’t get up early enough to walk the Bay to Breakers but I heard it was quite the event.
