Wow, you are a regular butcher. You go Cynthia!

[Cynthia]

Thank you. We shall see when it actually happens. It's all tucked away in the freezer for now. Today's project: A lemon cake with fluffy coconut icing. Three layers. I am not a great baker, so this is a challenge for me.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Yeah, three layers is hard. Too hard for me (= I am very lazy). The last time I made a three layer cake was as a kid, with my mom....

But cakes are so expensive at the bakery it is probably worth it to put in all the effort yourself.

[Cynthia]

It was a nice break from politics and the other stuff in my life. It turned out well. The lemon curd was especially delicious.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Farro with brussels sprouts and chicken cilantro sausage. Wow that was so good. I think I'm going to go off rice and go on farro for awhile.

[Cynthia]

Mmm, farro. A nice alternative for Lenten meals.

[CD]

Pizza. It's Pi(e) Day!

Yesterday we looked at a possible retirement home in NE Iowa. It's all I can think about. Dinner last night was leftover Eggplant Parmesan. And crackers. Today I woke up with a head cold. So tonight's dinner needs to be some type of soup. Cheers, all.

No, for us. Looking for an older house with a bit of land, maybe a barn. This one was built in 1860 of Limestone. It was originally a high school for boys, Tete des Morts. My French is rusty, but I think that means Head of Death.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Oh okay. I wasn't sure if you meant "assisted living."

[Félix]

Cheese omelet with hash browns and biscuits.

[evie]

[Cynthia]

Today, I will do something I rarely do. I have some chicken breasts and some chicken thighs. I am going to cook them in a griddle pan and dice them and freeze them for quick future meals, like enchiladas or to add to vegetable stir frys. I feel like Suzie Homemaker. It's too cold and windy to go out. Wednesday's high temperature is supposed to be minus ten degrees. Good thing I have books.

I love this post! It still makes me laugh. "Diva in the Kitchen" could be a cooking program.

Oh, yes it could. This week's Diva In the Kitchen is a pediatrician from Iowa who claims to clean as he goes. His wife thinks otherwise.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Salmon, farro, broccoli romanesco. Which I thought would be like broccoli but is really like cauliflower.
