Weekend progress
Feb. 28th, 2011 05:17 pmSaturday I spent the day cooking for Mudthaw. I tried out a few recipes and taught some folks about period cooking. We made the strawberry tarts and a strawberry port sauce with muscadine grapes. This will be better when cooked as a boiled custard.
We made 4.5 gallons of roasted cauliflower soup. This was the winner of the day. 40lbs of chicken has been reduced to 3 gallons of stock and 3 gallon bags of chicken pieces. That's 2 dishes already completed and in the freezer. Bread was started. Two loaves actually made it to the freezer. Now that I have a live starter, more bread will be on the way.
Saturday night was the tad party. Hanging out with good friends, way too much food and duct taping a baron is a good way to spend a Saturday. Sunday was spent reading and watching the Oscars via lumineaux's LJ.
I missed
mmcnealy and
alphasarah elevations to the Order of the Laurel. Congrats to both!
All in all, it was a good weekend.
