The damn wind is blowing 65+ miles per hour! it sucks to be quite honest. feels like the house is going to blow over. wind makes me grouchy.
tonite i cooked brats. the raw ones. i put them in a skillet with a little water and covered them. i simmered them until the water was gone and thought they were nearly done. then i added a nub of butter and big chunks of onion. i finished them off by cooking until browned and the onions were all broke down and carmelized. soooo tasty. i had some asparagus, boiled it till tender then drained off the water. i heated up another nub of butter in a sauce pan, sprinkled some flour into that and whisked together....after about 1 minute i added some cream and salt and pepper. then i added the asparagus to the creamed mixture. i had also thawed some frozen rolls and baked them. it was all yummy. then because the wind makes me grouchy i made a black forest cake. i used a box chocolate cake mix, added one can of cherries on top of the batter and baked it. then i made frosting.....once again another nub of butter(i am positive butter improves the mood)...i would say about 4 tbsp. i melted that and added a lot of powdered sugar and about 2 tbsp of cocoa(another mood enhancer). i used a hand blender and mixed it smooth. i then frosted my lovely cake with this fabulous concoction. i highly recommend food therapy for grouchy days.
~bon appetite~
