Then yesterday was very busy again. I went with my parents to the farmers market. We walked about a mile between there and my parents house. It's nice to be somewhere with local fresh produce. We bought apples and avocados and broccoli and kale and I don't remember what else. Our bags where full but the end of it.
After I got home I had a bit to eat and then I went to the Telegraph Street fair with my dad. This is an annual craft fair that covers about four blocks, with stalls on either side of the street. We got some presents for my mom, and I had a funnel cake.
Then I went back to my parents house and made a pumpkin cheese cake and pastry cream. The pumpkin cheese cake at thanksgiving was such a hit I was asked to do it again for Christmas Eve. i don't like to bake at R's mom's because her oven is not reliable, so I made it at my mom's. The pastry cream is the filling for our log cake. I experimented with using a bit less flour to get it to spread better. It looks good so far -- will have to see how it goes we I put the cake together.
I was really tried after all that. I must of been pre-sick because I woke up this morning feeling achy all over and my nose is stuffy.
