Post something good that happened today, Parts Two

This was yesterday but my mattress was finally delivered. And I wasn't home for it!   Kayleigh sent me the message about it and I sent one back saying they didn't notify me about it and sorry about the surprise.

Now I've had a night sleeping on it, I didn't sleep in like I wanted to. Never mind, it's still very comfortable and not bouncy like my other mattress.

Opening Night, and the game is tied in the 7th inning

No work today.

Got a "Thank You" from a lady driving by as I picked up trash from the section of road I adopted to keep clean.  Not something I do for publicity, but, gratifying to hear for what I do!

Today I had lunch with an old Salvos friend (she is now in charge of a store in the next suburb) and she was telling me about her son going to America with his basketball team. She's going too with her husband and the whole thing will cost a lot. We talked about the tipping system there and how it's confusing. I can't wait until she goes and then comes back because I'm sure she'll have some interesting things to say.

Also, we're having meatballs and pasta for dinner.

A friend I haven't seen in months stopped by for a visit.

Got a text before I was getting ready to sleep that my friend's baby girl whom she is calling Genesis was just born this morning!

My wife working against her latest muscle pull from work, made a magnificent treat for lunch.

I had brought out some left over pulled pork to thaw. She saw that and thought "Onion Cake!" 

A sort of Anglicized version of a German dish, based on zweibelkucken (doubt the spelling is right).

Onions rendered (loaded), eggs (lots, almost a quiche), potatoes (you choose how many), some flour, cheese and bacon topping, baked forever on lowish until done and then the last bit at higher heat to brown it all.

Anyway, that is the way she learned the recipe from her Granny.
But I tried to search for "Onion Cake" there were many too many recipes to peruse for ideas.

So lunch was the good thing, pulled pork, onion cake, steamed broccoli. Orange Sherbet for dessert. A meal to remember.

I would definitely try that onion cake. Yum.

Sherbet here is a sweet powder. Is it different there?

I got to meet nice people at a games day but I'm glad it's over as well.

Over here, sherbet is a fruit based ice cream like sweet dish, but unlike ice cream which begins with an egg custard usually, sherbet uses gelatin to stiffen it up and give it substance.

The Onion Cake is delicious!  Zwiebelkuchen.
Look up recipes, but it is also one of those dishes you can fudge your way and it seems to come out perfect every time.
I think the key is the low and slow baking to make sure the eggy, almost quiche-like center is done completely.
Then of course brown it up to your liking once it's done inside.

My wife checks it for doneness with toothpick like any other cake.

Not having stuff to do on Sundays is great... just need to stay busy and hide in the basement.
