Well, instead of cooking with the wine infused with chocolate, I’ve decided to drink it. I have had 2 glasses over the past 3 days, it is too yummy to share with Jeremy. I’ll have to go back to Total Wine and get another one soon, and I’ll think about cooking with that one.
I made a rhubarb crisp this week. It is so yummy, but I barely had enough rhubarb to make the crisp, so it didn’t come out as yummy as I would have liked (a little crispy on the edges). The batch of rhubarb up at my parents house this year was not as good as in the years past. They’ve had strange weather up there this year. But, beggars can’t be choosers, right? Jeremy and I love it (and Grandma Breiding got a little of this batch, since we had Granny and Grampy over for the pie back in June).
So, I’ve been keeping myself very busy, even though we aren’t doing formal swimming lessons anymore. We’ve had play dates almost every day. I’ve gone to the gym 4 times this past week. We’ve done information swim lessons at the house 4 times this week. I’ve cooked some good dishes, and some ok dishes (Friday I made Noises food, peach puree for Jade’s yogurt, rhubarb crisp, and sausage, broccoli, and carrot au gratin [what a busy afternoon]). The au gratin was interesting because I originally was going to make the vegetables au gratin and then make sausage burgers, but decided last minute to saute up the meat and throw it in with the veggies and it was soooo yummy.
I’m also working on a new venture. More on that to come, but there may be something very cool coming to the Conway area within the next 6 months. I will post more when it gets closer and the plans firm up more. It’s a little too preliminary now and I’m still looking to find a partner in the deal. It’s exciting and scary all at the same time. I can’t wait to be able to tell more. I just don’t want to jinx it before we even get started. Wish me luck! I need it!
