i've been holding off posting because i thought i was going to be posting from my new home...but its just not ready yet and i feel like a ton has been going on and well, i'm getting overwhelmed by not writing it all down. so briefly...
- i made the roast chicken. i went organic rather than kosher - i was told that organic also had no innards. i was brave and shoved my hand in, up to my wrist (don't worry, i removed all rings) to put salt and pepper and lemons and a bay leaf all up in there and all felt hollow so i figured it was all good. until i started cutting up the cooked bird only to find out that in fact the innards were, in fact, in there. so i did what any other girl would do - i used a plastic grocery bag and picked them out - dog poop style. the chicken itself tasted yum and was really moist. it could have used more flavor but now i know for next time (and also...kosher all the way).
- i am now the owner of this. and it's the best thing that's ever happened to me
- friday night we went to services with a couple from our MARRIED PEOPLE CLASS (MPC) and the couple we stole from that god awful awkward shabbat dinner. we walked in and knew people and that felt good. services were less than stellar (there was this unfortunate incident with some girl singing amazing grace) but the people were good. drinks afterwards meant for a really good friday night.
- saturday we drove up to napa to pick up wine from our wine club. we stopped at TAYLOR'S for fish tacos (and sweet potato fries!) and then hit THE WINE GARAGE - where we met up with MPC who happened to be in the valley as well. we bought wine for our passover seders (did i mention we're having people over both nights?!) and tasted and tasted.
- today i made the chicken soup for passover. it was a pretty insane experience, i'm not going to lie. but it's done and my house smells amazing so that must mean something...right?
and don't worry, the new blog is coming...i'll keep you posted.
