The After Party-Lazys

By
Scott and I went out to a Halloween party in our neighborhood the night before. We stayed out late and got up "early" so today resulted in our first lazy day in probably 3 years. 

I made a pate fermente the night before and took it out when I got up to "take the chill" off. 

This is my, "I have to do dishes face."

Leftovers for lunchfast on my end, cause, "I didn't want to make no stinking crepes," or something like that.

I spent the day in PJs complaining about my stomach and enjoying a Packers win.

 Scott watches one Packer game a year and today was that day. 

I had oatmeal for breakfast, but was still hungry an hour later so I made myself an egg. 

We were randomly starving, so I fried some fresh tortilla chips and made a batch of guacamole.

 Best husband ever!

Guacamole and Fresh Chips
2-3 Avocados
1 Hot Pepper minced
A bit of Minced Onion and Tomato
1 Garlic Clove minced
A dash of Cumin
Salt and Pepper

Combine all this stuff and puree with a potato masher.

Fresh Local Tortiallas like La Perla
A Deep Fryer
Salt, And Plenty of It

Fry at 375 degrees making sure to stir with tongs for fist minute or so. Let chips cook for five or so minutes. Shake fryer basket intermittently. Remove from fryer and either dump in bowl with newspaper or paper towling or let drain over drying rack on top of jellyroll pan. Salt. Continue process until all chips are done, making sure not to overcrowd.

We scarfed them down as fast as we made them.

Even though we were being lazy today I still had to do something and made Pain de Campagne. This is supposedly the dough that used in most French breads. 

I did a horrible job at trying to make epi baguettes. 

It was pick on Peanut Sunday, so I picked on peanut. 

We were hungry and lazy. We heated up some frozen veggie bulgur chili from Mark Bittman's Food Matters cookbook.

Our night ended by watching The Artist. I actually hadn't heard of it until it won a bunch of awards. I kept forgetting it wasn't an actual old movie every time a familiar actor showed up in a scene. I've always enjoyed watching silent films late at night on AMC back when I had cable.

Meadow's 12th Birthday Weekend

By
Our little gal was turning 12 this week. That meant a picnic in the park along Minneapolis' Minnehaha Creek. The kids and I were in a competition of who could get to 1,000 first. They had to spend 1,000 hours outside and I had to walk 1,000 miles. To be fair the kids started January 2024 and I started January of this year.  They beat me and decided their reward was to go to Minnesota's Largest Candy Store.  I'm trying to loose weight, Brooklyn. I always walk around with Brooke and the kids knowing I just want the homemade treats on the way out. We also picked up some crazy snacks for the upcoming 4th weekend up north. They had changed a few of their murals since we were here last.  We forgot to get the lemon candy apparently. Meadow wanted to go to her favorite pizza place for her birthday dinner. Sadly, Black Sheep only has one location left in the North Loop. At least it's the original location. Though I did love their Eat Street location. After dinner we walked thro...

Honeymoon: Madeline Island Without a Kayak? At Least We Brought Bikes.

We made it safely to Bayfield without getting attacked by any bears . I think that's because of my wily driving skills.

Big Box Shopping Day...Literally

By
This week I made ground cherry pie. What are ground cherries you ask? Well they're not really cherries at all. They are grown similarly to tomatoes. They have a husk surrounding them like a tomatillo and are about the size of a small grape or cranberry. I've see these at the coop and at farmers market for a brief time in late summer/early fall. I bought some the second I saw them at my coop. I wasn't sure what to expect in terms of taste, especially after having bad luck with currants this year. They had a really pleasant taste and were very sweet.  We both woke up early this morning. For me it was stressing over the wedding. Scott put a breakfast order in for giant pancake with cinnamon apples. Typically I cook breakfast for us, but its really nice when Brooke does it for me. Plus she's an expert on making big pancakes.  I can't believe apples are starting to show up at the farmers markets. Where has summer gone? S...
