I"m waiting for my afgans to come out of the oven. Been on a bit of a baking spree lately. It's Laura's surprise party and I'm considered this crazy good baker so I need to impress hence a new type of cookie! They sound good. Oatmeal and dessicated coconut. Not very sweet so the chocolate on top will be a good contrast.
Food experiments so far:
Ham hock soup: utter failure. possibly because of the nasty cut of meat. After sorting through so much fat I couldn't even stomach the soup. Just reminded me of fat chunks.
Apple pie: Yup I still rock the apple pie.
Pizza: Still tasty. Need to modify grating goats cheese. It's a bit of an issue.
Sheppards pie: Excellent! They key is wine and stock with the meat and parmesan in the potatoes.
Vianese fingers: Light and delicious
I want to try beef wellington. We'll see how it goes. It involves phylo dough which to me is always a gamble since I pretty much never work with it.
I have tons of work to do. Most of my own. I want to recopy a slew of notes, and I need to do readings ASAP. This year's very hard but hopefully manageable.
Time to check the afgans!
