Apr. 18th, 2011 12:18 amMy curry bread ended up a complete disaster. I made the dough saturday night in the breadmaker, but was too tired to finish so I left it in there overnight. Too much fermentation! It stunk like bad alcohol. And like an idiot, I thought I could bake the smell out. I ended up with foul-tasting curry bread and a stinky house.
After that miserable failure, I went back to my swatch knitting. Swatch ended up being just about the right size wide, but half an inch short. Am now re-knitting a switch on a bigger needle size. Hopefully this works. Otherwise this yarn I bought may be useless.
When ben woke up, we watched ponies. I love pinkie pie's back story. She corrupted her entire puritan pony family! For a cutie mark episode, this one was quite fun.
A bit after lunch time, ben and I went food shopping. Large quantities of food were bought. Now I can make tasty things all week.
Since passover starts tomorrow, I made matzo ball soup for dinner.
I attempted to make a vegetarian version so it wouldn't count towards our two meats a week rule. It was edible, but I really wouldn't call it matzo ball soup. You really notice the lack of chicken fat. I tried putting a little bit of butter in (totally making it not kosher! ha!), but it didn't help at all.
For some reason the matzo balls came out super dense. That has never happened before. Normally they are wonderfully light and fluffy. I wonder if it's because I used really old mix.
After dinner, ben and I took a food coma nap. I got up around 10 to prepare the ingredients for ben's dinner tomorrow. He has to work tomorrow and then go in again tomorrow night, so he needs to eat and sleep as soon as he gets home. I'm making slow cooker chili so that dinner will be ready as soon as he walks through the door.
