I didn't do much housewifery from the end of February to the beginning of April, but I did get to reap the benefits of my mom's and mom-in-law's skills!
For some of the culinary highlights: we made and ate WONDERFUL, chewy Italian no-knead bread, a new version of chicken and dumplings, and cinnamon scones. We had cinnamon scones several times. :-D And when I write "we made and ate" I mean "John's mom made and I ate."
In other food highlights, we bought some mouth-watering sushi and Greek yoghurt. I quickly fell in love with Greek yoghurt! Mom also made chicken with goat cheese sauce from a recipe which I've had since my wedding but never had the nerve to try, and it was savory and scrumptious! We fared quite well under the care of our two mothers.
The outdoor highlight is my new herb garden! We noticed that the bushes around half of the kitchen patio were strangely dead, so my sweet mom dug them out and replanted the bed with parsley, basil, rosemary and thyme, with some lobelia for color. Oh, I love herbs.
Mmm, the chicken with goat cheese sounds great! You'll have to send me the recipe. :)
