beansideToday is an old favorite, which debuted at the last in person con.txt I was able to attend. I fell immediately in love, with both the video and the song. Through it, I also discovered
talitha78 who makes amazing, perfectly timed vids. You will see that name again before the end of this week. Yesterday we had shitty weather and I had a headache. I left work a few hours early, but my brain informed me that I shouldn't waste the time. Too Good To Go had an IKEA spring pack, which promised chocolate for $5.99. I really wanted some chocolate, so I grabbed it. Turns out, they're cleaning out the easter chocolate, namely their stand up bunnies. They gave me ten goddamn boxes. We have SO much chocolate.
Then it was off to the farmers market. I'm pretty poor this week, so we got pea shoots, asparagus and some strawberries. The pea shoots went really well in the chicken I made last night. I didn't even know those were a thing, but they're delicious. I'm already figuring out where I can use them again. The asparagus are really tall things, so I'm looking forward to that. Might have them tonight with some chicken thighs.
By the time I got home, it was almost time to make dinner, so I started that a bit early. I made a big thing of mashed potatoes, and then I sliced up and cooked some chicken. Then I took the chicken out, added a bit of onions and sauteed them. Then, added garlic, and then the chicken and some broth. (Shout out to Sam's club Chicken base, of which I need to get more.) Then, I let it simmer for a few minutes, and threw in the pea shoots. It turned out really well, and I was very pleased with it.
Today, I need to make some more cookies or something. I'm torn between Snickerdoodles or cardamom cookies. Snickerdoodles are my favorite cookie, but I don't have the old recipe I used, so I'm afraid that they won't be as good and I'll be disappointed. The cardamom cookies are basically snickerdoodles with cardamom, so we'll see. Both sound pretty good, honestly. I've been pretty much baking every few days, because my family is going through these cookies fast. (I'm certainly helping.) I'd make a strawberry tart, but I have no rolling pin to roll out the dough. I don't even have a jar that I could makeshift. I put it on my amazon wish list, so I can find it easily. I need to add tart shells to it, and a pie pan, because I'd like to make a strawberry rhubarb tart.
I didn't think I'd need all the baking stuff, but I've found myself really enjoying the baking. Cookies, cakes, bread, I make it all. I might also make some bread today, but we'll see. We don't currently have any, and I have a super fast recipe. it only takes about two hours to make. It's a French bread recipe. It's pretty tasty, so that's possible.
Tonight, we have a game, so I definitely want to bake something. I need game snacks. Everyone have an outstanding Wednesday!
Okay, time for me to get my ass in gear. Everyone have an amazing day.
