So I didn't take pictures today really. It was a very stressful day. I seem to be coming down with either a cold or the flu. The oven here died while I was cooking in it. I still managed to get 90% of the dinner out on time, which I think earns me a gold star.
Apparently the boeuf bourguignon came out OK even though it couldn't go in the oven because the oven died while it was in there. So I finished it on the stove top. People ate it. And no one died. People also said they liked it, which they are not supposed to do because people are not supposed to be talking.
My veggie tarts came out wonky. The crust recipe was weird and the crust shrank drastically, which meant the tarts were very shallow. :/ I made a third one in a pie plate and it took forever and never really set in the middle. It wasn't exactly raw, but it was mildly soupy.
I do not tolerate cooking failures well, but honestly there is nothing I could do about any of this.
I made a kitchen sink granola today because people almost finished the quadruple batch I made the other day. I had weird things like peanuts and coconut. Unusual--but the results were pretty OK, I thought.
OMG thoat is that super sharp kind of raw, like someone took sandpaper to it, or I swallowed a lot of broken glass. I'm slightly worried that means this is strep. Strep always seems to be a particularly sharp kind of sore to me. Does anyone know what I mean?
