“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.” ―
Last Saturday Michael and I met his best friends for lunch at Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill in Cape Canaveral . He has been friends with this couple since college. Michael, like myself, is not the best at keeping in touch with friends, so I don’t expect to meet many more people.
I really enjoyed meeting them. They are such great people. We plan on traveling together in the future. The husband and I share the same birthday. I love such coincidences.
The food was good and fresh. I had the mahi mahi tacos and to drink I had a prosecco wit lychee. I saw a couple of dolphins and seagulls. It was a fun day!
“There’s not a word yet, for old friends who’ve just met.” ―
My baking continues with mixed results. Lately I have had some success, but also some really bad failures while attempting to make the perfect rye bread. I don’t really care for rye bread, but it is Michael’s favorite, so I am in search of the best bread-machine rye bread recipe.
At lunch I was talking about my adventures with the bread maker, and mentioned the mistakes I made with the rye bread. My number one mistake is not following the recipe properly.
My new friend said: “we eat our mistakes”.
Haha, I love that. I also eat all my mistakes, the edible ones and all others.
Isn’t it better to eat our mistakes than to let them eat away at us?
We have to learn from our mistakes and move on. Stop obsessing about it. Just do better next time.
Here are 2 winners that tasted amazing:
A rye bread, that I have not been able to reproduce not matter how many times I try.
Irish soda bread
