14 Juli - What's cookin'

Since my advisers are on holiday, I don't see much reason to go into the office. I can research and read from home just as well.  Sometimes staying focused is a problem though.

Today I was in the mood for cooking. I made a deep dish veggie lasagna for dinner. Then strawberry cream muffins for dessert. Recipes can be a real pain with metric conversions. For instance the muffins called for 400 g of flour, so when I look up the conversion, I find that flour converts differently than sugar or even if it is all purpose or wheat. Basically I just guestimate most of the time. So far, so good. The muffins were a little denser than I would have liked, but that may be because the flour is not normal baking flour. Skylar loves to help me cook and is mastering the art of cracking and beating an egg without painting the walls and counter in it.

The lasagna and the muffins were yummy. Now we just need to restrain ourselves from eating them all at once.
