Wednesday morning Logan called and said that he might be leaving that night! It turned out there were not any flights so he was told he would likely be leaving Sunday. So we celebrated Father's Day on Saturday because we were not sure if Logan would be here or not. I think it turned out great! And as always, I show my love with food! I spent all afternoon cooking while Logan was at work and Connor napped.
I made him cupcakes and hamburgers with all the fixings! I know cupcakes don't sound that exciting but these were salted caramel filled cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting (all made from scratch)! They were not that pretty but tasted so good! I really don't think I will ever be able to eat any type of cake again without yummy caramel being inside! The caramel sauce doesn't turn hard but rather soaks into the cake making it super moist and making every bite taste amazing! Like I said, they were good.
I decided to make hamburger buns too after looking at the store and seeing all the flat nasty buns! Plan A, I was going to make nice soft buns but when I got into my bread flour there were too many things crawling around. Yuck! So I pitched that, cleared out the other flours next to it in the pantry and Plan B was turn the yeast starter I had already made into pretzel buns because they only used regular flour and sounded fancy. Didn't they turn out great! I don't love hamburgers but these were pretty good!
One nice thing about having Logan open his presents early was I was able to give Logan his picture of Connor as a surprise and then I was able to take some photos for my dad the next day with Logan's help! Connor didn't really cooperate any more this time around but he was in a good mood and it made all the difference to have two more hands! Connor flashed this smile at me one of the many times his daddy helped reset him back on the stool. I thought it was so adorable!
Bedtime stories! So glad Logan didn't have to leave Wednesday and is with us for a few more days longer.
