Queen of the Kitchen
Ironically, I made a crockpot meal (roasted chicken) so I wouldn't have to cook today.
But somehow I ended up making chicken kiev, au gratin potatoes, bread, chocolate chip cookies, apple muffins and oh yea, apple-puff oven pancakes for breakfast. I will also be making some white bread as soon as my bread loaf pans get freed up, sides for dinner and some mint tea for my husband. I really enjoyed my time in the kitchen today too!
Last week we went to Meijers for our first-ever family portraits. We included our third (still in utero) with some great belly shots. We picked up our pictures today and I love them! My husband (an EMT/Firefighter) went in uniform. I went in the only dressy attire I can fit in right now, and the kids went in some casual outfits but nothing too dressy.
My garden is doing well! I put a small in ground garden in and planted my seeds, but for some of the plants I can't tell if they're sprouts or weeds! I'll have to take my seed package out and try to ID them... Or worse case wait until they get big enough to notice a difference.
My potted herbs are doing well, too. I was unsuccessful for growing a few of them (I hear they are quite easy to grow, so I don't know what I did wrong!), but my basil, parsley, chives, dill weed, chervil and sage look to be doing wonderful. I've even taken some basil and parsley for some meals already - i don't know how soon you can start using them but the plants don't show any ill effect from the "early" harvest and they were wonderful in our meals... so.... I think it's ok.
