2006-08-21 * WIP Monday Some brilliant blogger (am embarassed not to remember who) started "Work In Progress Mondays". Going along with my amnesia on this brilliant idea, I don't remember whether one is meant to post works in progress or finish a work in progress on Monday and post it. So, I decided that today would be about finishing some of my many and varied works in progress. I have several bags all cut out and ready to be sewn, not to mention other wee crafty enthusiasms I picked up and put down at various critical junctures. The first one I finished was that surprise I mentioned the other day, so I can't show you yet, but it came out very cute. I can show you this Another work in progress is having afternoon tea in a civilized fashion- on nice china, with fruit and a homemade sweet of some kind, so today I made some little French sugar cookies from a recipe in this book I have been overall disappointed with Paris Sweets, though- the finished results of her recipes do not live up to the atmosphere she creates with her descriptions of Paris bakeries and treats. There is a lemon cake recipe in the book that has been tempting me since I got it, but it seems expensive to make (there is creme fraiche involved) and I don't want to be disappointed again! So I think when the mood strikes to make lemon cake, I will try Ina Garten's recipe instead. Cooking on the brain! Oh, and the parmesan chicken from last week turned out yummy. On the menu tonight is chili and skillet corn bread- better get cooking!
