Aye yi yi. That would be all too exciting a day for me. My father was actually a certified real estate appraiser. I don't what he got for the family house, but I am pretty sure he went in with a good idea of what it was worth.

My mom made the simplest dessert ever & it was delicious. She mixed orange zest into vanilla icing and spread it on a (store bought) angel food cake.

One of those boxes of assorted chocolates had a variety with a creamy orange center.

One had to be really quick in this family to get one of them as it was a fav of all of us.

Always liked a creamsicle too! Very similar flavor if you mix orange sherbet and vanilla ice cream. I have been known to do this at the Mandarin dessert buffet.

A colleague used to talk about rolling a solid block of ice cream into various toppings and slicing it for a birthday party dessert. Always preferred by kids over cake, she said.

Betcha orange zest and chocolate ice cream would be fabulous.

Yesterday afternoon I dropped something off at a neighbour's and we ended up chatting outside for quite a while...good chat, however the mosquitoes completely devoured me and my body is insanely itchy/inflamed. I had hoped the baking would be a good distraction but it wasn't enough of a distraction. Nothing I put on the bites is even cutting the agony. I have some bites that have welted up to the size of loonies.

Mosquito bites don't bother me an awful lot. Black fly bites, on the other hand ...just awful!

Ever since I was covered in mosquito bites at a Guide camp when I was 12 (and I was dressed properly and had lots of insect repellent on) and had a MASSIVE reaction, I have always reacted very badly to the bites. One or two I'm fine, but more than that and I can get really sick.
