I know you guys thought I was kidding about
Croatian Victory Day, because I
was kidding about that at the time. But I decided to actually celebrate it anyway, since I've never had Croatian food and it looked to involve a lot of braising, which fits in nicely with my current devotion to heat-worship. Also, I have no idea what people drink in Croatia, so I didn't feel too bereft in having to abstain. I decided to go with
braised lamb over spaetzle and some
red cabbage stew.

Celebrating Croatia was sort of a lot of effort, so yesterday I just made a bowl of Things From the Fridge. My specialty! Chicken, red pepper, spinach, chickpeas, pasta. And bacon, which makes most of the previous list unnecessary.

I also had some spare time and ingredients and an intense
death wish sugar craving, so we made cookies. Don't worry, I had Anna test the flour for purity.
