La la la la avoidance...
Jan. 31st, 2007 01:41 pmI'm not doing any actual work. I'm accomplishing plenty, but no writing, which is what I'm MEANT to be doing while the boy is at school.
I made another batch of peanut butter cups -- this one came out much better than the last because I -- *gasp* -- actually followed the directions! Who'd have thought? I also simmered the frozen ham bone in a big pot of water for a couple of hours until the meat all fell off. I strained the liquid, put it back in the big soup pot, and stuck the pot in the fridge (so I can skim the fat off the top later.) I got rid of all the yucky bits and put the nice meat into a small bowl. Then I chopped a big onion and a bunch of carrots and put THOSE in a bowl in the fridge. Later on, a couple of hours before dinner, I'm going to throw the vegetables and either some lentils or split peas into the broth and cook it all for a while (and add the meat at the end since it's already falling apart.) Hopefully, it will taste good.
Pretty knitting/textile icons!
