We’re cooking too. Recently started on a weekend free electric plan, that’s free from 9:00-17:00 on Sat & Sun. Baked lots to freeze ready for the week ahead, plus did all the weeks washing.
Took my 4 year old to the Dinosaurs of Patagonia exhibition at The Papa this morning. It's fucking spectacular. I wasn't really expecting all that much from it, and it is fairly tame to begin with, but the final exhibits are pretty amazing. Kid loved it too.
Oh shit, I forgot about the dinosaurs! I missed the last time there were dinosaurs in Te Papa, have been waiting for this one! Will have to go this coming week!
Our family does the big get together on Christmas Eve, so will be heading out the door soon. I usually make a certain kind of salad, and a dark chocolate mousse as well. This year I thought I'd try a raspberry one, that didn't work quite as intended (tastes nice but the texture isn't quite right), so I (impatiently and in a rush) went back to the good old chocolate one.
But since I was impatient, I messed it up and there are chocolate lumps all through it. Fail. That was yesterday, so this morning I made the third batch, which turned out fine like normal (since I was in a better frame of mind and actually paying attention to what I was doing).
So, long story short - I have vast quantities of b-grade mousse in the fridge, so that will be what we're eating for the next few days. Mousseaggedon.
