I have a problem with making long term goals, I've never been a fan of those...I'll stick with the short term.
- Get a haircut
- Acquire a passport
- Europe vacation...ahem! Karin I miss you already.
- successfully temper chocolate
- get over this cold
- make dinner with empty cabinets
That sounds good for now, let's see what actually gets done.
Okay, this time it will let me comment as a guest, apparently. Hooray! Yes I miss you! And I often think longingly of your cooking.
ReplyDeleteI have boxes and boxes of rice, and I don't even know what I eat for all my meals because the food's not good at all. My bad bread is also molding now. I don't know how to shop in Saint Claude. In Paris and even in Naperville, you just go to the store. Here... it requires some advance planning because you need to find a friend with a car. I know that I need olive oil, if only so I don't have butter in literally every meal.
Anyway, I am sure you by now have succeeded spectacularly at making dinner with "empty" cabinets (what about your cous cous? or anything I left in the cabinet above the stove?).
Love you.

"I often think longingly of your cooking" that's the best! :) Well when you come home you can have it ALL THE TIME!!! And you need to eat butter, that is really good fat as is olive oil. As far as me making dinner I was thinking of something more along the lines of eating something of substance, not just carbs. Mmm, but I figured something out, I had the left over veggie burgers in the freezer from when we went shopping and I made the same mixture and voila! Goodness. So you would be correct in saying that I "succeeded spectacularly", also growing up poor aids in my creativity in the kitchen. How I learned to cook, well I'm still trying to figure that one out. I already ate your oatmeal and the raisins and nuts & I used the apricot preserves in a chicken lunch I made the other week for us all. You'd be very pleased to know our tradition lives on and won't be stopping any time soon.
ReplyDeleteSo that van, yes, it's mine now, the guy gave it to me, it will be in my possession tomorrow! 8) SO THIS MEANS...that Rachyl is coming to Europe to visit her Karin.
Well as soon as I get the insurance money.
Love you!!!!
mmm butter, love butter in my food. mmmm butter. mmm.
ReplyDeleteYAYAYAYAYA! Get that money. Visit me! (Get that passport). Also the veggie burgers sound delicious. And I am SO glad you used the apricot preserves! That's awesome! Ahh really awesome. You must be referring to the chicken that Clay mentioned last week or so. Also this is random but I'd kill for a Chipotle burrito right now. I miss them sooo much. But I found tortillas in the store and freaked out. I can make so many things now! Yess. Love you!
ReplyDeleteAnd Martyn Wendell, I wish there was an option to "like" that comment a la Facebook. Because then I'd be metaliking butter. Which I already do, but, you know, in writing. On the internet. It's more official.
Karin, we were on the same brainwave. Martyn your status = "LIKE"
ReplyDeleteNow Clayton...he talked about my chicken? Did he tell you about the burnt chocolate? LOL!! Tim and him ate it all...there's something off about those two. ;)
