Our original date night plans to hit Barnes armed with coupons and gift cards, got squashed. That's okay, a night in sounds pretty darn good too. So we picked up a Redbox movie.
In other news, Flour A didn't work on my chicken tenders. However, this morning, Flour B worked pretty good on American-style pancakes and that gave me an idea for a pancake, cake - layered with coconut frosted goodness. More on that when I give it a go.
Earlier, I told you about making coconut butter. Well, after I did that I also made an almond butter, cacao and coconut butter mix. It was pretty darn good and less expensive than me buying hazelnuts.
It's just about supper time here at The Manor. Chicken legs, tots and organic baby arugula (rocket). Enjoy your weekend and I'll catch ya' on the flipside.
Too bad about datenight, stuff happens! Your dinner sounds good! I did fast fry pork chops tonight!
ReplyDeleteThat's okay. A night in works too. I'm playing in the kitchen. What did you have on the side of your chops?
DeleteYour supper sounds very good, Ivy! I love the Christmas tree image! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I don't know where I got that one from.
DeleteYou and Tim have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lurker. You guys too.
DeleteMerry Christmas to you and Tim, Ivy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Norma. I laughed at your last comment about skipping them too. Good stuff. Happy Christmas.
DeletePlans changed and it sounds like it all worked out fine. take care
ReplyDeleteYes, it really turned out nice. And we got some snow overnight. Very pretty.
DeleteHave a nice weekend Ivy!!! Have fun!
ReplyDeleteYou too. Your gingerbread cake looked wonderful.
DeleteSorry to hear about date night but there's always another time!
ReplyDeleteTrue. And really, we didn't mind. Still two days left.
DeleteOh well!
ReplyDeleteDid you get snow? We did. Not buckets but enough. So pretty.
DeleteCuddling together to watch a movie is a good date too!
ReplyDeleteEven that bit got canceled, but there's still two days left.
DeleteWe had a simple tomato soup and cheese roll last night. I am sure you will organise another date night soon.
ReplyDeleteI used to enjoy tomato soup and grilled cheese, back in the day. How was your cheese roll? Baked in, heated? Or room temp?
DeleteRoom temp It was goat cheese, creamy like Brie, and delicious. Using it in our Convent Eggs tonight.
DeleteRoom temp, very nice.
DeleteToo bad about date night :( But the rest sounds really nice!
ReplyDeleteIt was, for sure. We didn't make it out today, either. Shooting for Sunday.
DeleteHow goes your baking?
It's bad to miss a date nite but staying in and watching a movie is the next best thing...xoxo
ReplyDeleteWe thought we'd go today but instead enjoyed being home. Sunday, we'll hit Barnes. Do you have bookshoppes with cafes there? And if so, do you guys go there?
DeleteAwww! Why did it get cancelled?
ReplyDeleteSnow. But that's okay, we're fixing to go on Sunday.
DeleteSorry to hear about date night...just catching up on your blog. The butters sound pretty amazing. They are so popular in the States right now. I read about them everywhere in blog land but have never made any myself. I'll have to look into that. There must be a reason they're so popular right?
ReplyDeleteHey Girl. I'm not sure if they are popular or not, but I can tell you that I've been making them at home for a very long time. I'm a from scratch kinda gal.
DeleteHope you give it a go, it's great fun.
Sounds like a good supper. Hope you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteAlways fun to play in the kitchen. Do you like to cook or bake?
