This should be a relatively easy week. Hopefully. Time to use some of the spices we bought in Tangiers. I must admit, I hope the saffron we bought is really saffron. I have no real taste reference. It could be red-dyed tea for all I know.

It's De-Lovely and Other Choice Words
Geez, I just re-read yesterday's post. How many times can I use the word "lovely" and worse yet, "though"? Edit much, Des?
Stay tuned for a menu. Promise. Really. And I'll never use the word "lovely" again. "Though" stays though. Just can't help myself.

Not Enough Time for Anything
Between work, house stuff, jewerly class, and, since I've failed miserably with FaceBook, Twittering haiku (look to the menu on the right for updates), there's just not enough time to blog. But I still try.
Today I made granola again. It is almost too delicious. I did have one problem though: I bought pre-roasted and salted sunflower seeds. I prefer to use completely raw seeds. I must admit though, that the salt added quite a nice counterpoint to all the sweet (honey, figs, aprill cots, raisins). Next time, I'll buy raw, but I'll be sure to add salt.
We also had some lovely yogurt parfaits for breakfast this morning. Later, I picked apart another roast chicken carcase and "Bob" made a lovely stock from its bones (plus those of another roast chicken). You know what that means: There will be pot pies before too long (and I'll finally get to use all those baking dishes I bought from Fishs Eddy for this sole purpose). The winter is over and we've still got butternut squash ravioli in the freezer, plus a bunch of roast chicken meat, some turkey meatloaf, homemade breadcrumbs, frozen vegetalbes, frozen ginger, and, thankfully, pizza from my birthday earlier this month.
Tomorrow I'll post another menu. There will be soup, chicken stir fry, and (hopefully) some delicious recipes to follow.
