Bridget and Jillian brought a couple of cookbooks with them so the first thing Jillian and Bridget made was a chocolate mug cake, which Tor thought was very good.
That Thursday evening they stayed outside until way after dark to have a hula-hoop Olympics. They did the javelin with them, rolling and racing, plus many more. I never did hear who was the Olympic winner in each event.
Then it was back to cooking Friday. Bridget brought all the ingredients to make fruit parfait for everyone. Uncle Barry was here so he also got to try her parfaits.
Lots of fruit and granola which turned out very pretty and delicious!
After that they decided to have a baking contest. Bridget made strawberry shortcake and made her own biscuits. Jillian made chocolate brownies with a peanut butter swirl. Us judges were happy to give our input. Cale liked the shortcake, Papa couldn't make up his mind between the two, and I voted for the brownies so they ended up with a tie that they weren't happy with. So Bridget decided to take a sample of the two to Aunt Julie to decide. At the door, one of the dogs jumped on her so they got a treat and Aunt Julie didn't get to vote.
The next day Bridget decided to make pulled-pork sandwiches for lunch. She made the sauce for the meat from a recipe that turned out to be a big favorite. Yum! This cooking fad is great! Tor busied himself with the dogs and got to help Uncle Kevin fix the propeller on their boat and then he took Tor to golf at the JAL field. Plus he enjoyed all the treats.
