Well, here we are at the end of the month already... wow. We're hitting the 9th week of the semester, and things are starting to function well in my classes (Praise God)! There are now four weeks until Thanksgiving break (but who's counting?!). We're in the process of picking out a tile back-splash for the kitchen, which means we're getting close to being finished with our work.
I'm greatly enjoying the new kitchen... but even with all the new cooking space, there are still times when things go wrong in the kitchen.
Last week I cooked a chicken in the crockpot -- and I must have been a little stressed/pre-occupied with the midterm exam I was writing because I cooked the chicken with the bag (you know... the one filled with the gizzard, etc) inside the chicken.
Fail.
Needless to say, that did not make my week. We ended up making a second chicken later in the week so I could have broth for soup... that made for a much happier SnoWhite.
In addition to the chicken, last week we enjoyed:
with Crustless Apple Pie
Crockpot Baked Potato Bar
