That’s my version of TGIF…I call it “Who Cares If It’s Friday?”
It’s a rainy yucky day out (see, I TOLD you it was going to keep getting worse) and we basically stayed in all day. Junior wanted to go out on his swingset but then we realized it’s just misting and yucky and he agreed to wait until this weekend when it clears up. Now that he knows how to pump and swing by himself, he’s in heaven with his swingset. Thank goodness! I was hoping to get some use out of it.
So we watched Peter Pan, so Cartoon Network, played computer games, made pretzels from scratch, and I made apple crisp. The pretzels had been on my to-do list for a while. I thought it would be a good project because it’s cooking AND it’s artsy. Well, he liked putting the ingredients in the bowl, but thought the kneading was yucky. Then he got bored with the creative part and basically made 3 snakes. I did two circles, two regular pretzel shapes, and an M. They taste okay…not so much like pretzels, more like, well, bread. But on the biscuity side. Edible, sure, but they’re no Auntie Anne’s.
The apple crisp is my friend Beth’s recipe. Well, her aunt’s. This house smells FANTASTIC. I don’t want to cook anything else, because it will ruin the smell. Mmmmm. Baking apples and cinnamon. It would be nice to have someone to spend Friday night with who would actually appreciate homemade pretzels and apple crisp. I’m just sayin’.
