It's a lovely day. I ran my robot friend to clean some floors this morning while I cleared off the kitchen table. I made shortbread that smelled divine, and then I covered it in chocolate, almonds and mini marshmallows. Sort of like a rocky road cookie. The most fun part was pulling out the mini torch and toasting the marshmallow tops just a little bit.

Between this recipe and my successful bison cooking, I feel like I've gone up a level in my cooking skills. Ding! Next level unlocked! It's nice to feel like I'm progressing, learning new things. Later we're going to make these German butter cookies with a recipe that requires, I kid you not, two pounds of butter.

There is a kitty sleeping in a sunbeam by the door.

I am really grateful for my absurd, strange life. I have been places I never thought I would be.

Well, I did my first from-scratch dressing, so I hope I go up a level as well! Bird is in the oven and I'll make green beans with tomatoes and bacon as well as glazed carrots later.

Any new from scratch recipe has a major experience boost! Yum. I think dressing & stuffing dishes are my favorites.
