Treasure Islands 2013 Sandcastles Competition arrived and so we had to see
it. Last year we also visited the sandcastles and it made for an enjoyable day.
Driving to Jenny’s house and parking there made it a short walk down the beach
to the exhibits.
There were fewer sandcastles this year, only ten, but the artist’s quality
was exceptional and we admired their work. We both had different favorites, so
I voted for the dancers and Renita choose the emerging human. As usual hers
ended up being the favorite, (Jenny returned to the event that evening and sent
us an image of the sand carvings lit with colored lights).
Another day saw us at Jenny’s house as she made birthday pineapple upside
down cupcakes for her friend. She made a few extra and of course I had to try
one, fresh from the oven. This is one of the best desserts I have ever eaten.
Jenny made it using whiskey but the epicurious recipe calls for rum. Also one of
the recipes is for cup cakes and the other uses a cast iron skillet as a pan.
For the cupcakes she used foil cupcake liners and sprayed each lightly with
oil.
Respecting copyrights I am adding the web address and not publishing them.
They are well worth visiting and making the cupcakes!
