Here is a rundown of the last few weeks. Jimmy continues to bake up a storm. I don't remember what the things on the left is, but the the right is a Dubai chocolate inspired peanut butter brownie.
We stocked up on peppermint hot cocoa supplies.
NFL dips continues with Sloppy Joe Dip (Detroit), Hot Crab Dip (Baltimore), and Spinach and Artichoke Dip (Chicago).
Rick and Heidi came over for dinner on Friday the 7th. I used the opportunity to make Paella from scratch! I did quite a bit of research to make sure I used the best methods. I have a huge cast iron pan that rarely gets used, but this was perfect for it. I was able to get just enough saffron for free from my local Buy Nothing group.
Rick was a little sketched out by the idea of mussels and that seems like a bit of a stretch for me, so we stuck with just shrimp.
It turned out great and I plan to make it again. With the price of saffron I may have to do some substitutions for that.
Heidi made a tasty pumpkin roll for dessert and it was seasonal perfection!
Then this last weekend we participated in a marriage retreat at church. Friday included a date night dinner from Athens Cafe in Robbinsdale. Greek food is so tasty! It was a great kick off to a wonderful weekend together focusing on us!
