Things of Note:
Hey all! I’m back. I pretty much slept all weekend to recover from my (younger) sister’s visit last weekend. We did a LOT. Probably some pictures coming tomorrow. Um, what else is new? I took a cooking class last night, which was supposed to be condiments and sauces, but really just ended up all condiments, which is not that useful to me since I really only use ketchup. But hey, I apparently have good recipes for homemade mustard and mayonnaise and cilantro vinaigrette now (triple ick). I’d really hoped to learn more actual sauces (marinara, marsala, alfredo, that kind of thing) from scratch, but oh well. There were some good general kitchen/using herbs tips at least. Speaking of cooking, the boy has yet to announce what recipe we’ll be tackling for Easter this year, so that could be interesting. I need to get back into trying new recipes in general; I do like it, and it’s been too long since I’ve posted a fun recipe here on the blog.
What are you up to this week?
