Got Meat?
I did absolutely nothing today. And it was a good nothing. Of course, Reggie wanted to get up early, so after he ate, we slept until 11:00. After that, my friends Liz and Dave picked me up and we went shopping for meat. Well, Liz and I went shopping. Dave stayed in the car with Alex. This butcher shop is pretty awesome and the prices are good. I bought some beef for kebabs, some bone-in chicken breasts and a pork tenderloin, as well as a few other things.
When I got home, I put a pork tenderloin in my little crock pot with some potatoes and a can of diced tomatoes. Then I left, making a trip to BJs and got myself a manicure. When I got home, the pork was done and the tomatoes had turned into a great sauce. The potatoes, unfortunately, were still hard. I think they didn’t have enough time to cook in addition to being hard to begin with.
Tonight, I watched The Good Shepherd with Matt Damon. It’s a good movie. Long, but good.
While at AC Moore today, I saw that they’re offering a Wilton Fondant and Gum Paste class. It’s a four week class that runs every Wednesday night, starting this week. I’m seriously thinking about taking the class. Really, I thought about just taking a basic cake decorating class, but I want to learn to use fondant more. My mom did cakes for years. She did weddings, birthdays, and just about any occasion you could imagine. She did everything with regular frosting and a pastry bag. I learned a lot just by watching her. Fondant would be something totally different. I’m going to call them tomorrow and see if this class is suited for novices.
