darchildre: a cup of tea.  text: "tea break" (tea break)
Today is cooking day!

This week has not really been a good food week. I haven't been home for dinner much, which means that la familia tends to cook things that I don't like. This is awesome for them, since I have an absurdly restricted diet and they like a lot of things that I don't, but it means that there aren't a lot of edible-to-Sara leftovers in the fridge for lunches or days when we don't cook for dinner. Thus, I am taking matters into my own hands and making little honeyed chicken pies to have for the week. I made these once before and they were fantastically delicious, so I'm looking forward to them.

Technically, they are going to be tiny honeyed chicken empanadas, rather than pies, as I don't feel like messing with muffin tins today. Also, I'm going to sub in dried cranberries for half the raisins, because I like them better. 8)

Also! Our big everyone-in-the-library-all-day-meeting is coming up, and the branches always donate baskets to raffle off. This year, Kingston's basket is going to be full of various homemade goodies, so I am making a shrub to put in it. I started it this morning - it is asian pears, basil, and black pepper, with white sugar and white balsamic vinegar. I think it's going to be pretty awesome and I'm a little bit jealous of whoever is going to eventually win it.

Yay, food!
