I'm going to make peanut butter cookies for my stepdad and oatmeal raisin cookies for my dad for Father's Day. 
I might make scones, too.

Made a strawberry summer cake for midsummer. It's not very neat - it's the first time I have made one with a cream and fruit topping and I'm not very good at it. It's delicious though!
Bet it's delicious! A few mint leaves around the bottom is all it needs for picture pretty!
I LOVE the table cloth!
I want a vegan strawberry Boston cream. Wanted to make that for years and never did. a sponge type cake with a layer of custard between layers and a whipped cream/light frosting with berries
Is it a sponge cake? I love anything with strawberries as it reminds me of summers in the UK countryside.

Yes it is a sponge cake. I used beaten aquafaba and soda water to fill it with air. Summer cakes are traditional in Sweden at Midsummer.

The table cloth has lasted us a good many years and is still going strong. It doesn't seem to age at all.
Ooh, I love a victoria sponge. The last time I made a sponge cake it was for my birthday (quite a few years ago) and it was really nice. I made an elderflower and lemon cake filled with lemon curd.

I made some drottningsylt (Queens jam - made with raspberries and blueberries) jam tarts with marzipan lids. We will enjoy them while watching "Ghosts" together.
I have made chickpea salad and zucchini cakes (with summer yellow squash) so far. I'm going to make buffalo soy curls (by request, from my nephew's GF!) and some hummus. All of this will go to the beach with me.
I made a carrot cake Sunday. I thought everyone would like it, but no one seems to want it

I had a can of Dunkin Hines cream cheese frosting I bought cause vegan. It isn't good
. It's just a sweet vanilla with an off taste. Wish I had just made muffins instead. Good recipe.

I like the Betty Crocker frosting much better and although it is full of "yucky ingredients" it is vegan. I try to buy it only occassionally.

I almost filled my slow cooker with brown rice and just enough water to cook it properly. When it was almost done, I added almost a pound of well-rinsed-off fresh spinach. I had some of it for late breakfast, some more for late lunch (with canned dark kidney beans), and put the leftovers in the fridge after they'd cooled to lukewarm. (I make sure not to let warm things spoil before I cool them).
Two loaves of zucchini bread from a huge zucchini someone left for grabs at work. Still have more to cook
I haven't had brown rice in ages! Last time I got a bag full of hulls, so really put me off

I can deal with hulls; I've never gotten that many of them (not that I need the extra fiber). I have issues when small pieces of gravel wind up in my grains though. They're the main reason I pick through organic whole grains before I cook and eat them. I just measure out how much I want to cook, and then pour out maybe a half-cup at a time onto a plate and look through it before I put in the pot. It's a bother- but not as much bother as breaking a tooth (which fortunately hasn't happened to me- and I intend to keep it that way).
That only happens the time you don't check
. I also pick through grains and beans, and rinse.
