Happy Sunday!
Feb. 9th, 2003 02:41 pmHad a nice relaxing day so far (unlike yesterday, when I woke up with about five minutes to spare to get Elayna to Karate). Made coffee and biscuits, had some more pie, relaxed for a while.
Also gave Elayna her first taste of key lime pie. I only let her have a bite, as her milk allergies, although not severe enough to be bothered by one bite, aren't worth risking a whole slice on. But, much to my surprise, she loved it! Since this pie was a bit on the tart side (I doubled the amount of key lime juice the recipe called for, amongst other changes -- I'll post the revised recipe here soon), I really didn't expect her to like it at all, but she really liked it! Given her historically bland patterns (not helped by never really being around folks who liked interesting foods while she was a toddler), I was very pleasantly surprised. Now, does anyone know of a dairy-free recipe for key lime pie? And one that's edible.
Afterwards, Elayna and
shadesong played 1313 Dead End Drive, and then
shadesong and
anexstacy went out for shoes, while Elayna and I played Wingnuts (the niftiest update of Time Pilot/1942 ever) on my Mac (she watched the radar screen for me). After an hour of that and some serious hand cramps for me, we took a break for lunch, and now it's just a hanging out afternoon. It's a good day. :-)
Later,
jet_li_wannabe is coming by, and we'll head to his place to finish our Blood Bowl match, followed by a trip to Casa
voltbang and
chelona for more Blood Bowl.
Anyway, time for more coffee.
