Emma Starts School

On Monday this week, Emma had her first day of real school (my first child to go to school).  She is officially a kindergartener.  Unfortunately, all schools everywhere around here are virtual, so she had a virtual first day of school.  She was really looking forward to meeting some people and making some friends.  This is pretty hard to do through the screen...bummer.  At least she does like her teacher and is excited to try something new. 

Good Luck Emma, you're are going to do great.  Hopefully you can actually "go" to real school soon. 

Here is her first day at "School" picture.

Dallas Dreams of Chilled Grapefruit Meringue Pie

Image
Again I tried to do something more unique, and I don't think this one turned out super great.  I mean, it was okay. It was sweet and creamy, but it just didn't live up to the vision inside my head. The meringue on top did not work.  I guess I don't know how to make them since my lemon meringue pie was also a flop.  It was just a gooey mess stuck to the top.   And then there wasn't a very strong grapefruit flavor. This was definitely my own fault because I couldn't get any grapefruits to zest (meaning there were no quality grapefruits at the store), so I used oranges instead.  I did use grapefruit juice in the curd in the middle, but it was still not very strong. I also don't think I used the right type of caramel in the middle cream portion.  Finally, I think I left them in the oven a second too long. You can see they are a little more black than I would like.  In addition to the pie not working the way I thought, it was also the most difficu...

Book Review: The Name of the Wind

 I finished reading "The Name of the Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. This is not typically the type of book I enjoy reading, and I kind of started reading it on a whim, without really knowing a lot of about it and it turned out that I really enjoying the read.  It is a fantasy book, set in a fantasy place, but I felt like it like it wan't TOO fantasy-esque.  Like there is magic, but they don't call it magic, and they treat it more like a science.  The  main character goes to college to learn about it.  But in addition to learning about magical things, they also take classes like logic, and medicine, among other stuff.  I don't know exactly what it is I liked about this hero adventure, perhaps it was the main character, or the world it is set in. I read it pretty quick because I was interested in what was happening. Unfortunately it is a series and the story stops very suddenly at the end.  I will probably even read the next one at some point.  In ...

Dallas Dreams of Shoo-Fly Pie

Image
  I have started to reach a little for more unique pies.  This one was suggested by on old friend from Rochester, thought I should give it a chance.  This was not my favorite pie, but I'm not a HUGE fan of molasses.  This pie was essentially a pie crust with molasses inside, with a crumble topping.  I had a slice, but I could eat a lot of it.  Anyway, it was a good experiment!
