Fireside Dinner Menu # 16

This week kicked my ass! My apologies for a late menu, but here it is. At least in time for the weekend.

I don’t have a lot to say about this week’s menu, except that I was perhaps a bit ambitious for a Friday night.

You are welcome to download the menu with links to some of the recipes below.

The 7 colours of the rainbow May 9, 2024
By the grace of God we got to the 7th birthday. Lilliputian Lisa is turning into some kind of project manager, organising everything and everyone. Planning, calculating and overthinking in general.

How the tooth mouse came back and bit me in the ass March 24, 2023
The first tooth was pulled in our house this week. It was actually not pulled because both the Engineer and I refused to do it, so the owner of the tooth managed to do it herself. Super proud about this rite of passage, she allowed for a photo to be taken and ran off to […]
