The 50 Plus Cafe, Pub, All-Nite Greasy Spoon and Dive Bar

Finally caught up! I had an eventful weekend.

Friday - gym day with a new trainer. My trainer was fired for a bullshit reason and now I have to break in a new one. 🤬🤬 The one I worked with was fine, but not the same. 🤨

Then, I was ABDUCTED by my friends and forced to go to a pub we frequent. A really good country band 🤠 was playing. I danced my ass off! 🤣💃🤣💃

Saturday - woke up late. Sore. Tired. Unfortunately, I was abducted AGAIN to the same bar! 😵‍💫 A local hair band was playing. They were really good! Aerosmith, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Van Halen, Def Leopard, Mötley Crüe, to name a few. Just great, great music! And they nailed all the songs! I danced my ass off again! 💃💃

Sunday - woke up late again. More tired. A bit cranky. Sore. I was going to go to a friend's house for a superbowl party but decided to stay home with my dog. Since we live in Seahawks territory and people are fucking crazy here, I knew there would be LOTS of fireworks! I just couldn't leave her here alone.

Because I got rid of Comcrap and have dumb TVs, I wasn't able to watch the game. I was going to try to watch on my tablet but it was out of battery. So, I settled for checking the Google periodically. 😤😤

I decided to bake and made a Bakewell Tart while talking with my gorgeous friend (Hi, K!). I used @Greylag's shortbread recipe for the crust, with some modifications. It took me a while to make it and my kitchen was a disaster after, but it turned out really good!

G has been my consultant on this. I don't like raspberry jam with seeds and couldn't find any seedless, so he allowed cherry jam. I like that better, anyway. I thought I had a tart pan but it turned out to be a flan pan. (IDK how I got such a thing!) So, I was just going to make minis in my giant muffin pans. Then, I actually DID find the tart pan!

The shortbread as the recipe is written is enough to make two tarts. I made one tart then rolled and cut cookies from the rest. I used what was left of the jam to make sandwich cookies called "Empire Biscuits."

Today - since I was baking late yesterday, I saved the tart for today. It looked great, cut well, and tasted AMAZING! G said I needed to have some cream to drizzle over top.

So, pictures!
