It's supposed to be spring, but it's snowing today. Not an auspicious beginning to the month.
I have, though, had a couple of lovely weekends at home recently, which have allowed me to do a fair amount of cooking. Just yesterday, I roasted Brussels sprouts, seared duck breasts with a port-cherry sauce, baked bread, slow-cooked a batch of French onion soup, made spaghetti from scratch, and tried out a new cocktail called the Breakfast of Champions (needed less milk and more bourbon, but those are fixable).
So, how does all this cooking relate to my April goal? It doesn't. I was just proud of all the things I made and wanted to tell you about them.
My April goals:
- Do my mending;
- Tidy up my craft area;
- Use the newly-cleaned space to make patterns for the curtains we will need in our camper;
- Compile a materials list for said curtains.
Yesterday, while I was doing all the aforementioned cooking, S was out in the camper installing the bike tray and the sound deadening panels. It's nice to see some things happening, and it's time for me to do my part!
Everything you made sounds delicious. Even the duck breasts. Maybe it's the port-cherry sauce that's selling me.
