Aug. 29th, 2009 10:02 pmWell, we picked up the freezer today so - Yeah!! Now we get to fill it. Though Mom and Dad are doing their level best to fill it for us. ;-)
A trip to the farmer's market netted MI seedless grapes, white peaches, wax beans, tomatoes, Italian roasting peppers, potatoes, sweet corn, cilantro, and I'm probably forgetting something. Tomorrow - I freeze the beans and can the 'maters.
I'm a bit disappointed in the Westwind Milling Co. Last time we were there I bought a bag of unbleached bread flour - for which I paid a premium, since it's "organic" and stone ground. Opened it up - whole wheat flour. Ummm. Not even close, guys. I mean, this isn't even wheat bread flour. It's got ALL the bran. Which is fine, but not what I wanted. Sometime soon I must go down to Holland and try the flour that's ground at the windmill on Windmill Island.
I made a batch of bread today. And some peanut butter muffins. Neither of which Anneliese got to try, as she came down with the evil G.I. bug that has been making the rounds at my house.
Also realized today that we can get a Villa at Disney (studio) for what we're paying for the room we have reserved. So we'll see if we can get one. ;-) It might be nice to have the kitchenette with the girls. And hey, it's the slowest time of the year. Maybe we'll even get upgraded to something bigger.
Sometime in the next little while we have to figure out what sort of dining reservations we want. We're going to try for Cinderella's Royal table - but that's pretty unlikely. Other than that - HHmmm, the Hoop-Dee-Doo Review, Le Cellier, The San Angel Inn, and Mama Melrose's are on the short list.
Mom and Dad bought Anneliese Dance, Dance Revolution - Disney Groove for her birthday. And then got themselves a Wii. ;-) I'm not sure what brought this on - if they think the girls will like it. Or if they really are interested themselves. We took the Wii Fit home once, to show mom. But she didn't really seem that interested. They can be hard to fathom some days.
Off to design an opus teutonicum chalice veil for a number of reasons. Or rather, to kill a number of birds with one stone.
