Today I baked.
The end.
Just kidding! But honestly, a week ago a round of baking would have been enough to make me take a nap. It would have been an entire day's activity. Today, I not only baked (for those who are interested, these cookies courtesy of Whisk and Whimsy), I went for a walk, I entertained a friend and her two daughters (4 and 2, although Max and Millie really were their entertainment), I did some research for the house and I had a chat with a friend over skype.
I'm now preparing to make saltimbocca and risotto for our dinner. Now that the evenings are getting colder I feel more like comfort food. And given Mr K says he still doesn't know how to make risotto, I guess the onus falls to me to prepare dinner!
This week seems to be packed! I'm planning a movie out with Mr K at some point, an adventure with a friend on Wednesday, more baking and morning tea with another friend on Thursday morning and then out to do some chores and run errands with Mr K on Friday. Back on the horsie indeed!
Definitely sleeping in on Saturday methinks!

I am worried about my thankyou note- I sent it the day I got your parcel! Can you pls let me know if you don't get it within a week???? Thanks! x
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the cooler weather bringing out the desire to bake. I don't think I ever lost the weight from last winter's puddings though :(
ReplyDeleteDear Miss Kitty-Cat, Risotto is just the ticket for an Autumn evening. Thank you for reminding me of its pleasures. You are sounding happy. Good for you! Lindaxxx
ReplyDeleteI am waaaay too lazy for risotto. I just can't handle the committment of standing there stirring all that time.
ReplyDeleteHow was it?
I adore risotto- plenty of white wine and mushrooms seems to do the trick for me. A sleep in on sat sounds dreamy. Soooo tired and seems to always happen when Autumn creeps in! x
ReplyDeleteFF - will do, but please don't stress!
ReplyDeleteKiki - I don't think I did either!
Linda - I am much better an happier! Risotto is awesome.
Lady Smaggle - I find the stirring very therapeutic but know plenty of people don't... Have you tried Baked Risotto? http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/16978/oven+baked+risotto It does remove a lot of the effort and still tastes pretty good...
Sophie - I love mushroom risotto as well, but Mr K really likes it as a side dish so we often just go plain. But asparagus is also good...
