Day 135: More Groceries
The Son and I have been experimenting with recipes from his new cookbook:
The America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook*. [By the way, every recipe we've tried has been great.] We wanted to make the chicken pot pie but we didn't have any chicken stock and, due to my allergies, I can't use any of the commerical stock products. So first we made some chicken stock, then the pot pie, and we topped it off with a very yummy apple cake with caramel icing.
All of that cooking -- and the shopping for necessary ingredients, plus my other mom, work, homeschooling, scheduling duties -- in one day was a little too much for this poor mom. Luckily, there were enough pot pie leftovers to send some to school with The Daughter, feed The Son, and maybe even have a little dinner tomorrow. And we'll be eating apple cake all week. On top of it all, I have two containers of chicken stock in the freezer. I'm tired, but well fed and contented.
