- I tried to make this coffee cake over the weekend and it was a major disappointment. The edges cooked but the center was still raw and part of the crumb topping was still just…a flour and sugar mixture. I then decided to roast a chicken and the breast meat was super rubbery but the legs and wings were fine. I was 0-2 and I feel like I need to redeem myself in the kitchen.
- I have been making the best iced coffee ever and it really is the best iced coffee ever. Seriously, I could drink 4 a day.
- I popped into Trader Joes to stock up on wine last week and grabbed a box of their Pumpkin Spice cookies in the checkout line. Holy moly. Go get yourself a box. They’re so dang good!
- I used to pride myself on my fantastic memory. My Grandpa used to say I had a mind like a steal trap and my friend always calls me her external hard drive because I remember things for her. Well Mom brain is real y’all because I’m forgetting everything lately! Just last night Tyler asked me to turn on the fan while I was up and while I was wrangling Liam he reminded me again I was like, “Babe, I know!”…and then he had to tell me again to turn the fan on. And then again he asked me to grab his phone on my way upstairs and I totally spaced. My short term memory has gone to crap and I feel like that man in Hook walking around looking for his marbles.
- There are only 9 Friday’s left until Christmas. Cue the panic.
- While I love (almost) everything pumpkin flavored, Buffalo Wild Wings just released a new pumpkin flavor sauce for their wings and I can’t even imagine that would taste even remotely good. Like what’s wrong with traditional buffalo sauce?
- Hallmark Christmas movies start this weekend. That is all.
I was 0-2 in the cooking department as well this weekend. Sigh!
Funny you mention the chicken, we have had two chickens be “rubbery” as well. Not sure what is up with that!
That’s so weird! Hopefully both of our luck changes for this week.
