Day 4. I skipped one.

Day 4. I skipped one.
Yesterday didn't seem to be long enough for me to take a picture. Today I'm back to baking - making pumpkin puree to be used in this recipe, but I'll be making muffins instead of loaves. Even though I didn't ask for a Christmas miracle this year, I ended up with Christmas Eve off as well as Christmas and Boxing Day.

7 Days - Day 4: That's what I get
For following directions. It's a good thing I don't mind cranberry sauce with my turkey dinners, because this stuff oozed all over the peas and potatoes. Did it touch the turkey? NO. Whatever. Just a quick 'oh-no-I-forgot-to-take-a-picture-today' shot at 11:54pm.

American chee

American chee
One thing I noticed about living in Ontario: they call this 'processed' cheese, not 'American'.

Baked tacos. That's new.

Baked tacos. That's new.
Yeah, baked with the cheese on, so that my cheese was all toasted into the meat. Also, those fries were freakin' delicious. I'm not much of a fry-eater, either.

Valentine Poutine

Valentine Poutine
Darren took me to Sub Bay for a small poutine (that's the SMALL) and pizza. Later, we sat around and listened to the sound of each other's arteries hardening.

Don't be fooled by cheap imitations.

CHILI. So good.

CHILI. So good.
Darren has perfected his Emperor Chili recipe. It's thicker than regular Cincy chili, so it can be eaten without spaghetti. It's so good. And there's nothing like sipping milk to wash it down. OM. NOM. NOM.

BOOP!

Darren pointed out that the cookies have boops.

It all had to pass inspection first

It all had to pass inspection first
In the time it took me to get the camera and turn it on, Packet decided everything was OK and she went over to her dish to start eating; however, she insisted on smelling everything before she'd let me put any of it away. She's more thorough than the border guards.

52 Weeks, week 9...sweet noncompliance.

52 Weeks, week 9...sweet noncompliance.
I made sugar cookies with cream cheese last week and they were so good, I ate them before I put icing on them. I think if Canada had won the gold in the Jr World Championship, I might have dyed the icing red, but since the team lost and these are makeup cookies anyway, I left the icing alone (cream cheese icing, too, btw). So you know, I'm giving about half these cookies to my upstairs neighbors for being awesome. They have a snowblower, their dog is cute and doesn't make any noise, they never blast music before 10am (and when they do, it's not country), they enjoy quiet and privacy as much as we do, and they don't scream during sex. This isn't a true apartment building, more like a house divided into an upstairs and a downstairs apartment, so sound carries more than it normally would. All in all, they're probably the greatest neighbors we could have asked for, and I want them to know that without seeming creepy. Cookies should work. Should I invite them to look me up on Facebook? Hm.

I can take it. Not so long to bake it. I have the recipe still.

Also, this will not be left out in any rain. You have my word.

7 Days, Day 2 - Treat

7 Days, Day 2 - Treat
For my birthday, we stopped at the liquor store and picked up some Irish Cream for my hot cocoa. I've had several of them (not. even. counting.) and they DEFINITELY qualify as a treat. I couldn't wait for midnight to roll around so I could post my Day 2 shot (haha, SHOT! GET IT?). I'm only using a small dollop in each mug, but I'm a lightweight drinker anyway. What I'm trying to say is that all my commenting on 7 Days photos up to this point has been enhanced by Irish Cream. I don't feel terribly loopy, but if something doesn't make sense, now you know why.

I had a daring dinner
Normally I'm a big chicken (HA!) when it comes to eating, but tonight I ordered warm brie with tomato pesto, bruschetta, and burnt whole-grain baguette. It was really yummy.

Same for the caption. OM NOM NOM NOM.

How do I spell PMS? C-H-O-C-O-L-A-T-E. I found a Lindt candy bar perfect for the occasion: Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt.

Another baking adventure - more bread!

Another baking adventure - more bread!
Today I mixed whole wheat flour with white, all-purpose flour. I made two grocery-store-sized loaves and one subway-sandwich-style loaf for Darren. I dusted with cornmeal because it made me feel gourmet. Who wants to come over for French toast now? I can only eat one slice, since it's bread.

3 Pretzel-shaped Pretzels, 3 nerds

3 Pretzel-shaped Pretzels, 3 nerds
Only 2 nerds are represented here. The first one sacrificed itself for the tasting crew (Darren and me). The hardest part of all this was dunking the pretzels in the baking soda and water mixture. Baking soda, when boiled, likes to get all frothy. The nerds came untwisted when I tried to get them out without being able to see what I was doing through the froth.

Today's baking adventure is Bavarian Pretzels.

Today's baking adventure is Bavarian Pretzels.
Why? NO CLUE. I guess everyone who visits Germany ends up craving these pretzels at some point, but hopefully it would be before they have gastric bypass surgery, not 6 years after. I'm calling this adventure a semi-success because most of my pretzels came out pretzel-shaped, none of them burned, and they taste fine. I can only eat them at a rate of one bite per hour, though. So much for 'enjoy while warm!'

I made that nom

Heavy on the NOM. I whipped the cream myself (sliced the strawberries myself, too!) (this is totally a big deal). Berries are from a local stand, cream was from the store because I don't know anyone with a cow yet.

Sat in the shade by the fountain and had a hunka cheese.

Well, part of it. Fried rice, french fries, egg rolls, Chef Boyardee, and cheese pizza.
