At long last, a break
For assorted reasons, I worked every day for the past two weeks. Wednesday and Thursday, I finally had some time off. It was nice. I ran some errands, finally had a chance to get my hair done, read a little, watched some tv and cooked with my honey.
I have wanted to have a computer in my kitchen for ages. I don't know why, it seems even stupid to me, but there you go. Well, I am just about to make that happen (not a big deal, just have to find a safe home for the laptop) and it occurred to me that I need to move my camera up there, too. We cook mostly every day now, but during the week, the meals go straight into Bento boxes, so there isn't much to photograph. However, I should capture some of those things and blog about them, if nothing else, to track them for myself.
Tuesday, we made some thin-crust pizza that was quite yummy and fast, too. I don't think there is much tweaking required here, so I am going to file the recipe as "approved" and try to make it again soon.
Wednesday, we had our first fried chicken class--I am German, I didn't come with the fried chicken gene--and it turned out quite good, but I think we both decided to tweak the recipe for as long as it takes to get it just the way we want it.
Next week I am trying my hand at my mom's creamed spinach recipe. As much as I love it, I have never made it myself (long held fear of roux), but I think I'll be okay this time. I am making a bunch, because when I do get my hands on it, I can practically eat my weight in that stuff.
This weekend, I think I am making some Schnitzel and I may actually try my hand at Zigeunerschnitzel in addition to the "normal" Wienerschnitzel I usually make.
