Today:
I made a lemon meringue pie. I had to make the lemon filling twice because I wasn't concentrating properly the first time and added egg whites instead of egg yolks. I also cheated and used some pre bought pastry that was in the freezer. Big mistake! It was super yummy, but the pastry really let it down. I used THIS recipe. So good.
There was a whole heap of farm play going in the lounge room today.
Plus a mega day of crafting - cardboard car and trailer, cardboard petrol station, cardboard house and also a cardboard cash machine. An entire roll of sticky tape was used in the process.
I also made the best ever sun-dried tomatoes. I did a batch the other day in the dehydrator but they were totally tasteless. I then came across THIS recipe for marinated sun-dried tomatoes and left them over night in the fridge to marinate away. This morning I popped them in the dehydrator and semi dried them. The flavour is amazing, really amazing. The other thing I dried today was beef jerky, which didn't appeal to me at all but it was devoured super fast by the rest of the family and they've requested that I make an even bigger batch next time. I love my dehydrator.
And here's a random photo of my sweet boy who's now over an inch taller than me. How did that happen?
Since this post is becoming a little bit random, I also just ordered this pattern after seeing Kate's yummy chicken fabric version of the dress HERE. I'm really looking forward to sewing up a couple for Bella this summer.
I hope your weekend is a lovely one!
