So what did I wanna make this time?
Well, candles, mostly.
But other things, too. Like No-Grocery-Trip Taco Salad:
Way to step up, Freezer Chorizo! |
And According To My Mother-In-Law It's National Chocolate Chip Day Cookies:
Good looking out, Pat! |
I also returned to one of the greatest cookbooks I have ever cradled lovingly in my arms, Melissa Clark's In the Kitchen with a Good Appetite. Ever since I made this olive oil granola and served it with ricotta cheese last winter, I have thought of it longingly. "I wish I had some of that right now," I would think. "If only I were solely responsible for buying groceries and feeding myself."
And, I thought, while we're elbows-deep in a proper cookbook, why not make something fancy? Like Figgy Piggy Drumsticks and Thighs but with cherries instead of figs because that's all I can find and I'm pretty sure one sweet/expensive fruit is as good as another?

We also made a pizza run. Some of us were more cautious about this mission than others.
SIDENOTE TO REGAN: I think I've figured out a way for us to get our money back.
