kitchen failure

Well, I guess it is bound to happen now and then. In a cookbook that I use religiously, called Simply in Season, there is a recipe that I have been eyeing up since fall. It is Maple Parsnip Soup. With newly purchased maple syrup from Montreal and parsnips being in season I thought it was the perfect combination! Well, it never happened, until tonight. It would have been to my advantage if I would have forgotten this dish and moved on with my life, but I did not. In short, I should have stuck with lentils. The combination was not suited for my palette nor my husband's. It was a good attempt, but alas, unsuccessful. With a dinner-less table I sat down for a cup of tea and then made chocolate chip banana muffins, much more successfully.

Tonight I have been dreaming of sewing pillow cases. I found a sewing machine online and made an offer, I hope they accept it. I have been checking my inbox every ten minutes! If so tomorrow will be an un-productive day on the homework front, but extremely successful in the fabric shopping and tutorial finding front. I suppose I should attempt to plough through the stack of books waiting for me tonight then. More tea it is.

xo.
