Hopefully more pictures next week!
This week I’m committed to using the Groupon that we got for a small Bistro in downtown Seattle. I’ve been avoiding it because they stopped taking reservations and I didn’t want to get stuck downtown waiting for a table. We’re going to try going on an unpopular week night to avoid any potential issues.

I make these every year for Christmas/New Years. They come out amazing and they’re eye-catching and delicious. They are not simple to make and will take you at least 3 hours usually between the cooking and cooling and pressing and mixing and so on. They also cost are some of the most expensive cookies to make by batch due to the almond paste, jam, large amount of butter, almond extract, and that chocolate for the top. The recipe makes 40-50 cookies but I always double it to make it easier to work with the batter.
His: cod w/ pico de gallo, chips and fresh salsa, grapes and apple.
Mine: cod w/ pico de gallo, boiled egg, grapes
His: vegetable-pasta soup, butter rolls, apples and grapes
Mine: vegetable-pasta soup, butter roll, grapes
His: vegetable-pasta soup, salad w/ dresseing, crackers, grapes
Mine: Boss took us out to lunch 🙂
It’s been really hectic these past few week. I’ve been in to making crafts lately because of my friend Mochi so I feel like I just have a little less time to cook because of that. This week I’ll be shipping out my Xmas gifts which will take a big weight off my back 🙂 Anyway basic menu for the week below like usual.
Thanksgiving has gone and passed and thankfully I’m done with both my Nano and 90% of my Xmas/holiday gifts. Over the next week I’ll be wrapping up the cooking portion of presents and putting some finishing touches on the rest (like writing out the notes). Below is this weeks menu which is fairly conservative because I want to take it easy on myself.
