I swear, this dog is driving me crazy. His new thing is that he has a couple of treats in the morning before Jess gets up, and then he demands walkies from me. It's fucking cold this morning, and I did not enjoy it. Yoda was fucking thrilled. He saw a squirrel, but alas, I wouldn't let him chase it.
Today, aside from laundry and one run to pick up a couple other groceries is going to be a slow day. With Fat Tuesday this week, we really wanted a king cake, so I will go forth and fetch that. Jess has their final exam for her classes, and they're really anxious about it. I know they're going to do just fine, but I understand the worry.
Yesterday, I made Beef Bourguignon. I completely forgot to take any pictures of the prep or finished product, but it turned out pretty well. Maybe not exactly how the French do it, but it tasted amazing ladled over the mashed potatoes. The recipe was a little fussy, but not horrible. Most of the time was spent in the oven. It was 100% worth the slight fussiness, as it tasted so good. Rich sauce, plenty of pearl onions. But goddamn, it was filling. One plate was 100% enough. I'd planned to use my roll to sop up some of the sauce, but I couldn't even stuff that in. It was just too much.
I don't know which nationality I'm going to use for my next big meal. Something fun, maybe. Tonight is going to be something simple, with sautéed kale with bacon and garlic as the side. Maybe some rice as well. It'll be an early dinner, since Jess and I have a game at 5:30pm.
I could make more mashed potatoes, but my shoulder needs a break from mashing.
We're going to try to fit a viewing of Glass Onion into there, because my sister hasn't seen either movie. We made her watch the first one yesterday, and she definitely wants to see #2.
Okay, time to get a bra on to go get the king cake. Everyone have a stupendous Sunday!
