Thursday Thirteen

Hey kids,

Getting ready for our trip to Ft. Bragg. I stopped at the ubiquitous big box store on my way home tonight, and also at Trader Joe's, for hotel and road snacks, breakfast foods and soda. I vow never to spend $2 on a can of hotel soda ever again. For some reason, was also compelled to buy new underwear, board games, a new toothbrush and about 40 lbs of oranges.

Anyway, short and sweet Thursday Thirteen: Thirteen things that I want to make in the kitchen when we get back. A good portion of this list will include things that I have long ago bought the ingredients for, but just lost interest in, or was not in the mood for, or some other mundane roadblock.

1) Marshmallows

2) Hello Kitty cake pops

3) Tiramisu pancakes

4) Cookie Monster cupcakes

5) Cheater petits fours

6) Boston Market squash casserole

7) Red bean mochi

8) Boeuf Bourguignon

9) Chili Verde

10) Polenta Lasagna

11) Cocksucker!

12) A roasted turkey

13) An Easter butter lamb It used to be my job as a kid to make the Easter butter lamb for Easter dinner. I haven't made one in at least 30 years, but I resolve to make one this year, and to show you kids how to do it.
