Well it has been a few weeks, but so much has been going on besides work we have been really learning how to make pizza and finally we did one right!! The first time we did okay, but the bottom crust was too thick and it didn't cook through properly. The next time I didn't let the dough rest long enough and we got those big bubbles and it burned on the bottom, then this last time I used the nixer instead of the bread machine to make the dough and we let it proof for 24 hours and instead of using flour on the peel we used cornmeal and the pizza was perfect! there are so many contributing factors to the pizza coming out well and when it comes out right it is so satisfying and so much better than carryout pizza!
Then I got a gift card from my Aunt and Uncle for Christmas so with it I bought one of those belgian waffle makers that swivel and I have been trying out waffle recipes and the waffles are fantastic and light and fluffy and huge! So I tried basic waffles receipes that used milk and that used buttermilk and the buttermilk waffles are better they seem to hold up to the syrup better.
We also had Hubbys family over for a sunday dinner last Sunday and we made a roast beef with veggies, rosemary butterflied chicken on the grill with broccoli and of course mashed potatoes and 2 kinds of gravy: a chicken gravy and a beef gravy. My Mother in law brought the dinner bread and we had such a wonderful day.
Last week I spent one of my days off with my Mum and we went shopping and looking at things and had lunch out at Applebees it was such a nice day. I love hanging out with my Mum.
Just so you don't think we eat all the time, we do exercise. Hubby is currently doing th P90x and I am running on the treadmill and using my Wii. Of course we are running around outside with the dogs and going to the park with them.
So that about sums it all up! So until next post..................
