Oh my goodness, it is Friday again! The week goes so quickly with the kiddos in school! Here are my favorites from the week:
- I am still on a bread making kick and though I have not gotten my sourdough to come out right yet I decided to make some yeast bread instead while I work on another sourdough starter. It is so yummy, my kids LOVE it (and they are extremely picky). I used the bread recipe from my much loved Little House Living* book (it is one of my all-time favorite and most used books).
- I’m still on a Jack Johnson kick! This week’s favorite is Calm Down (can’t we all use that message on repeat in the background?!!)
- In making my bread I realized I have one small bread pan and one larger one. And both are not in great shape and kinda rusty on the bottoms. So I went on Amazon to replace at least the little metal and found this gorgeous ceramic light green loaf pan*, which I immediately ordered. I have been on a kitchen clear out recently and have decided when well used things need replacing to replace them with beautiful ones I really love. I really love this one, and I read in the reviews it doubles as a mini casserole pan, which makes me love it more! Of course now I want all the other versions too…
- I found out we’re going on a FIELD TRIP for M’s school this month! I know this might not seem that exciting, but with Covid school as a 3rd grader M has only been on one field trip ever, and it was fall 2019 and he was only 5. I am so excited things are going back toward more “normal” around here, even if just a little at a time.
- I used to shop at a cute fabric shop down in Country Village when we lived in Bothell (like a million years ago now). Well, the owner of the cute fabric shop happened to walk into my husband’s office recently and said she is selling online only now. They of course chatted because Mr Danger has been a craft-husband for ever, and then I of course got on her website and ordered fabric. This cute order came last week and I can’t wait to sew with it! Look at the adorable ribbon the fabrics are wrapped in, and I got a free spool of thread since I ordered on “Thread Thursday”!
- I watched Cooked on Netflix and just soaked up every minute of it. I have recommended it to every one I know this week, and I am recommending it to you now! I’ve never been into food shows, but I have watched several this year now.
- My neighbor mentioned he was having a bit of a hard time and I wanted to do something to let him know I was thinking about him but I didn’t know what to do. So I made this gorgeous Apple Galette yesterday and we took it over. I used the recipe in my much loved Food Gift Love* book and it was just delicious (I made one for us as well). It was so good I was on Pinterest looking at other types of Galette recipes this morning because I want to make them all the time now!
- Mr Danger and I went over to check out The Green Barn little grocery shop in Lynden this morning. If you are in the area it was a sweet little shop with all kinds of produce and local cheeses and breads and even a Dutch corner filled with fun treats!
- And, because I take more pictures of my dogs than my kids, a sleepy poodle snuggling in a bathrobe.
Well, I think that wraps up this week! I didn’t get much sewing done, my time seemed to be mainly spent in the kitchen for my creating this week. But I did THINK about sewing a lot, so that counts! What are your favorites from this week? Leave me a comment and let me know!
