“It is one of the blessings of old friends that you can afford to be stupid with them.” ―
Last Saturday Michael and I met his best friends for lunch at Fishlips Waterfront Bar & Grill in Cape Canaveral . He has been friends with this couple since college. Michael, like myself, is not the best at keeping in touch with friends, so I don’t expect to meet many more people.
I really enjoyed meeting them. They are such great people. We plan on traveling together in the future. The husband and I share the same birthday. I love such coincidences.
The food was good and fresh. I had the mahi mahi tacos and to drink I had a prosecco wit lychee. I saw a couple of dolphins and seagulls. It was a fun day!
“There’s not a word yet, for old friends who’ve just met.” ―
My baking continues with mixed results. Lately I have had some success, but also some really bad failures while attempting to make the perfect rye bread. I don’t really care for rye bread, but it is Michael’s favorite, so I am in search of the best bread-machine rye bread recipe.
At lunch I was talking about my adventures with the bread maker, and mentioned the mistakes I made with the rye bread. My number one mistake is not following the recipe properly.
My new friend said: “we eat our mistakes”.
Haha, I love that. I also eat all my mistakes, the edible ones and all others.
Isn’t it better to eat our mistakes than to let them eat away at us?
We have to learn from our mistakes and move on. Stop obsessing about it. Just do better next time.
Here are 2 winners that tasted amazing:
A rye bread, that I have not been able to reproduce not matter how many times I try.
Irish soda bread

I love rye bread as well, but my real passion is sourdough. I made an attempt once to make a sourdough starter but it was an epic fail. That being said, I was glad I tried something brand-new…and if I ever give it a go again maybe I shall not repeat my mistakes. I’ve always felt mistakes are how we learn…and get better.😊
Hi Bruce,
I don’t think I will ever attempt sourdough, it sounds too complicated. But it is indeed delicious.
That is the right attitude, we grow and remain young as long as we keep trying new things.
If we are not failing, we are not growing.
Blessings to you!
Fun post with wisdom to not let things “eat at us” – is this a real restaurant “Fishlips?” That sounds like a kissing hangout LOL. How awesome that you saw dolphins there. It sounds like a enjoyable night. – hugs, David
Hi David,
Yes, it is a real restaurant. I like the creative name, and the food was good too.
We went for lunch, and the day was great!!
Blessings to you!
I’m not a bread maker, but I love yours!! You’ll find a good rye recipe soon!
Thank you, Monica!
I believe I will. Blessings!
Yummo!
yes, they were delish!!
Blessings!
Baking always needs us to follow the recipe and the measurements to the T.
Hi Sadje,
I know, it is chemistry, but still for some reason, I always ending adding additional items or changing the amounts 🙂
Plus I think that anything can affect, such as the weather, etc.
Blessings to you!
That’s true. My daughter thinks adding milk when the recipe says water makes the cakes/ brownies more yummy.
ha, I agree with your daughter. My bread recipe calls for water and milk and I end up adding more milk and less water than the recipe calls for.

Blessings to you, Cassa!
It’s definitely better to eat our mistakes than to let them eat away at us! ☺️
Hi Magarisa,
That is an easy choice, right? 🙂
Blessings!
Blessings to you too!
sounds like a nice step, meeting Michael’s friends and they sound great. as for the bread, I love the ‘we eat our mistakes’ approach as well
Hi Brad,
another step in this relationship. .. I love celebrating these steps.
It is bread, so I eat it anyway, mistake or not 🙂
Blessings!
Getting go eat our mistakes is always a treat and not necessarily a bad consolation! 😆 Keep up with the baking adventures. They look good from over here.
And what a treat to see dolphins – and to enjoy lychee with your drink!
Hi Ab,
Breads, even when it fails, are good. Anything, toasted with butter is delicious.
Dolphins and lychee martini are a perfect marriage 🙂
Blessings!
Ha, ha. Enjoy eating your mistakes Ana!
Thank you, Brad!
I am going to try 🙂
Blessings!
😊

Hi Ute,

Now I have Sheryl Crow’s “My Favorite Mistake” in my head. But that’s not such a bad thing. 😉 Mahi mahi tacos are yummy! – Marty
ha, that songs goes well with this post 🙂
Blessings to you , Marty!
I like this concept eating your mistakes. when we eat and digest, we process, rather than have the mistake eat us.
Thanks for your words,
Many Blesssings

Hi Lisa,
