What's new

J's at summer camp now. E's watching Sesame Street! It's the first show that she'll actually sit down quietly to watch. Which is why I can blog now.


New recipes:

Pasta Carbonara - my first attempt at this.
Bacon and cream - what's not to like.
Although in mitigation, I used turkey bacon to try to lower the fat level in this.


Golden cake from Nigella Lawson's Feast.
I think I used too many peaches - the cake was falling apart at the sides. But it was still yummy. This is the first cake I've made using instant polenta, which adds a nice gritty texture to the cake.


New license plate: we finally got it after close to three months. There was a mix-up with our address, so K had to go down to DMV personally to get this.


New basil plant - it smells lovely and I'm looking forward to using to in our meals. It's my favourite herb.

Nice to hear that everything is going on nice over there. When u go to san fran, you have to go to the fisherman's wharf. I think thats how its spelt. That place has your best clam chowder. And you can go to alchetraz. K im sure that spelling is wrong. Its the prison in the middle of the sea. You have to go check that out. Its awesome!

Love,
Matthew
