We're doing well, ourselves. No mishaps occurred while my nephews were visiting. Mickey changed a couple of diapers after dinner. He and Grant sat on the sofa and cuddled while Mickey read Grant a story called Seven Silly Eaters. Morgan is watching a movie with Mickey right now.
Glad you saw your favorite butcher, Clo. Shame about the zipper, though.
Mickey helped me make sure that the electrical outlets were secure before the nephews came over. I also did some laundry before going to the market, and I got some writing done.
Hey, Clo. It's 53F/12C here. Pumpkin donuts and apple cider were bought at the farmer's market. I also bought a good, sharp Wisconsin cheddar for the fondue. Mickey is playing with Haley and Grant in the living room.
Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches for the wee pup*
Hey, Bumble B.
Hey, Bertie! How are you and Steve?
Grant and Haley are doing fine, so I hear. No colds or sniffles yet this season. Haley is....five months old, I think? And Grant is a year and a half.
I'll pass on the sentiment to Mickey and Remy.
We're all doing well. Morgan went to bed early tonight. Deirdre is bringing Grant and Haley over on Saturday. Mickey called me today, and he's so excited to see his nephews. I think Remy is probably going to be busy with something this weekend, and IDK about Rory.
What are the girls reading?
Hey, Dugh, Mum, and Thistle. *scratches Thistle behind the ears*
I'm not overly fond of lamb, but if you're willing to share, could I have some gratin potatoes, please? Hey, Buckie.
Does anyone have any stories/books they can recommend, about boys and ballet? Either on GA or offline. I've been reading "Dancing on a Star" by Ronyx, and I have the Billy Elliot movie novel.
Pork chops and applesauce is a classic food pairing, going back to the 1890's. We roast the apples in the oven, and then mash two-thirds of them with the potato masher. The rest of the apples are added after.
I think some recipes finish the chops by baking them in the oven, with the applesauce spooned over the top. The acid in the fruit keeps the meat tender and moist, so it doesn't dry out.
