Brioche / Father's Day

We have gotten back into baking. Yesterday we made spinach, pine nut, shallot and cheese filled brioche in preparation for a Father's Day brunch today with a few friends. This is a recipe that we have made several times before and it is always a good one.


As the brioche came out of the oven, Dylan was feeding Connor his dinner. Connor saw the puffy, golden pastries and started reaching his chubby little hands toward them saying "Bawahbahawa", which is a frantic nonsense expression he uses when he really, really wants something. He ate a brioche for dessert.

Today, Father's Day, was a great day. Patrick & Marcelle (and 10-month old Addie) came over for brunch and we ate the brioche, mimosas, peach/tomato/feta salad with peaches from their tree, and a leafy green salad. Food and company both were amazing. This afternoon we took a walk and just goofed around with Connor before his dinner and bubble bath. It is pretty funny that we always cram into the tiny bathroom to be all together for the bath...Connor in the tub, one of us on the stool bathing him, the other perched on the (closed) toilet making goofy faces and asking "what does a cat say?". But being all together is the way we like it! And Connor now answers that question with a confident "Maauuww".
