sadly, it didn't taste as good as it should have. how can chicken slowly cooked in my best broth yet and wine NOT taste good? fresh herbs, vegetables in season. some of the veggies were overcooked and the flavor was rather bland. next time we'll roast the veggies separate and add them at the end. overall, very disappointing. but still beautiful. and i love that blue cast iron dutch oven.
on the other hand, these macaroons were A-Mazing! and gluten free! and simple! and so tasty!
four ingredients: coconut, honey, almond extract and eggs (i love that there was still hay stuck to the eggs!). we added chopped almonds to the dough.
heat. mix. roll into balls. bake. eat. share some with friends.
we all got a shower today - that alone is pretty successful! we count on a friday shower at swimming lessons, but this week the Y had no hot water. you aren't going to see me getting kids all wet if there isn't any hot water to lure them out of the pool! jackson's feet had black outlines from making snowshoes yesterday out of cardboard. claire's fingernails were long and filled with dirt. where did she find that dirt when there are feet of snow covering the ground? after showers we all painted our nails. they love it and it is such a fun bonding time for us. we have to figure out things to do and talk about while we wait for our nails to dry. claire gave us a tutorial on the plumbing at the sink. jackson couldn't decide whether my "red" was truly red because it sure looked pink. that's okay, he really likes pink, and choose one foot to be entirely pink and the other entirely green. claire choose pink on the first three nails and green on the two little ones.
