It has been a very long time since I have posted here. :) Baby A is going to be 2 next week, Baby #4 is planning on coming this coming May. We have moved across the country and now live in a subdivision in Alberta. As I am so far away from my friends and family I am going to try to update this blog more often.
Items of interest in the recent past include.... E lost 2 teeth a few weeks ago. The new ones were already halfway in before the old ones came out. She got 2 loonies from the tooth fairy. There is a rabbit that makes tracks in the snow in the backyards here, we saw it once. I haven't made a cake since last Thanksgiving. I did make cupcakes for Valentines Day though. They were chocolate with a light chocolate butter-cream to which I added little bits of score bar. The score bar made it hard to pipe the first day, the second day it was easier as they had melted a bit.
I am experimenting with sauerkraut. I have a jar of cabbage and carrot that I'm working on. I am also trying lacto-fermented carrot sticks. They have to sit for a couple of weeks so I don't know if they will be good yet. It is partially a way for me to get more probiotics (think yogurt bacteria) and it can improve the vitamin content of foods. I am hoping that I will be able to encourage the kids to eat them too. Today I am making a recipe of sourdough muffins. They use the sourdough instead of using buttermilk or soured milk. I'm hoping that they will be good. :)
Have a good day all. W
