Every bite of food should be a sweet bite
Here is another item scratched off my kitchen bucket list– Donuts.
I’m not a huge fan of donuts. In fact, if I’m honest with myself (and you guys), I give a donut a 4.5 in my scale of favorite things to eat. And that is saying a lot, because donuts are basically fried dough, and seriously who does not like FRIED dough?
Anyone? Anyone? I thought so.
I get so happy when I try something totally out of the ordinary, new to me and out of the box and it works.
Actually it not only just works – but, it exceeds all of my expectations.
Then there is totally a happy dance in my kitchen (and my tummy!)
Case in point – this week’s choice for our Gutsy Cooks club.
I could have gone totally safe with the Creamy Pot Roast Chicken – no brainer. Or totally walk the yeast path again with the Brown Mushroom Tortano – I wasn’t feeling the mushroom elements. But, I have always wanted to try making Salmon wrapped in something, and puff pastry seemed to be the best wrapping vessel – so it was going to be the Salmon en Croute all along –another one off the bucket list!
Easy, peasy.
Saturday was a lazy day around these parts. In the morning we set out to the art festival and after sucking up a bit of Florida sunshine we returned home to do what I love doing best.
Partaking in a lazy Saturday.
Yep, I sat on the couch and relished on the fact that I did not have to did not want to do anything at all.
That apple pie I promised Tom? Nah, it could wait.
That cornmeal cake bookmarked? Nah, it could wait.
