When you make a new recipe, do you have to spend time prepping it and just like READING it over first? I just TOOK NOTES on tonight's dinner in my notebook like I am going to have to take a quiz. which I guess I am-- and that quiz is dinner.
To be fair, we will be coming in hot from dropping off Coop and Dorothy and a loooong traffic-y drive home with a small-ish amount of time to actually have dinner before the pickups, so I wanted to think about what can be done ahead in my tiny sliver of afternoon time (when I will also probably be dealing with laundry) and if I need to have a plate of snack ready for Minnie to eat (YES), etc.
BUT STILL. Actual notes. And it's an EASY RECIPE.
Got a mammogram!
I'd never even heard of Tieks. I have ENORMOUS feet so look ridiculous in ballet flats...
ReplyDeleteWhere do you buy cute shoes?!
DeleteI never purchase anything I haven't researched for an hour. I am too frugal for words. Sometimes when I pick out my free samples in a Sephora order, I don't research and then I feel guilt because maybe if I'd done a bit more digging, I would have known that the sample smelled like dead fish.
ReplyDeleteYay for a mammogram!
ReplyDeleteI probably don't allow enough time to review and read over a new recipe. Then we end up eating super late.
ReplyDeleteYes, agree the Tieks don't really live up to the hype. I asked for them for a milestone birthday from my husband, so it both was and wasn't "my" money that was spent on them, but I almost feel ostentatious wearing them, like people will know how much I spent on my shoes and be horrified. I am obviously not a big spender normally. Plus they are not really as comfortable as advertised I don't think.
ReplyDeleteThis is Lisa. I have not heard of Tieks but I am not in the know on anything!! I hope they become more comfy with time!
ReplyDeleteI don’t make new recipes much but when I do, I also try to figure out what can be done ahead of time to streamline the process!
Mammograms always make me anxious, but that tunic is such a cheery color on you. And such cute pictures of your doll babies!
ReplyDeleteI am Team Read the Whole Recipe Multiple Times, haha. I need to know what I need to do every step of the way so I don't get behind, which stresses me out!
ReplyDeleteGood job getting your mammogram!
I read recipes then modify. Ha! And yes, mammograms. Anxiety-provoking and also slightly mortifying (even though I know that is what they do all day...). Particularly when I've seen the tech in another capacity (e.g., when they're covering regular x-ray). Also slightly (more) mortifying - running into a colleague in the hall post-mammo. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI read the recipe AND the comments, which lets you know if it’s good and how to make substitutes. Then I look up 2 similar recipes and compare ingredients and methods of all 3. Then I Frankenstein it together, and yes all of notes. I have made some amazing recipes that are now lost to winds of time bc I didn’t take notes. Also, tieks are trash, such a waste of money. I’ve been loving Charix. A bit of a loafer but works well with any outfit, cushioned and all leather. I own 3 pairs.
