Cooking Today
It was kind of a dull weekend; we didn't do anything except shop for groceries and play in the back yard.
But I did a lot of cooking today.
This morning, I made a chocolate vinegar cake. I hadn't made on in quite a few years - before Sebastian was born, in fact - but I'm sure I made one for Teri at least once. She didn't remember it, though, and seemed to be a bit dubious about the whole idea.
But it came out better than I expected; very moist and quite good, even though vinegar cakes are typically better on the second day.
For lunch I barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs. Again, they came out pretty well. I wasn't able to get "good" meat; we bought it at Price Rite, and I've had some bad experiences with their ground beef. But since money is tight, I figured what the hell. The gamble paid off, this time.
Then for dinner I made twelve calzones with some more of that meat. My calzones are cheeseless; just ground beef browned with minced onions, and then mixed with diced tomatoes, tomato paste, pepper, and salt. Sebastian ate a whole one and Teri ate two, so I guess they must be good.
Whoops! As I was writing this I forgot about the last six calzones, which were in the oven. But I caught them in time; they're fine.
