1) The macaroons were a bust. I couldn't even attempt them. The universe totally conspired against me on this one. Not only could I not find almond flour, but I couldn't find a set of decorating tips! Ridiculous, right?
Well it's not exactly fair to say I couldn't find ANY tips. There were plenty of full decorating sets for $30+ that I wasn't willing to buy because I have my own set an hour away at my parents house. I may have been defeated this time but low and behold I will triumph the macaroons if it's the last thing I do. I don't know where I'll find almond flour (Amazon? ha) but I WILL find some. Mark my words.
2) The gold spraying project went wonderfully! I had sprayed about 10 frames and was starting on the gnome and other obejcts when it started to rain. That was Sunday. It's still raining. So techinically it's a half finished project but due to circumstances I couldn't control. I'll get back to it.
3) I did manage to cook some pretty delicious meals though. Saturday I made rosemary and garlic brined chicken and roasted parmesan brussel sprouts. YUM! These were both first time recipes and they turned out great. Plus they were easy! Sunday I made a cold salad that I've made many times before. It's always a crowd pleaser. (You know that huge crowd of 2, me & M, that I feed.) It's a corn, tomato and avocado salad with bits of honey baked chicken and a lime vinaigrette dressing. I also made cake balls as a consolation prize for M since he didn't get the macaroons he was looking forward to.
I didn't manage take a single picture though. Maybe I'll get the hang of things soon.
Enjoy a sweet pic of my BooBoo Bunny instead.
