Hamantaschen, Schnitzel and dishes

Hey Ma;

I cooked chicken schnitzel today (first time) and several batches of hamantaschen for Purim and listened to a reading of the book of Esther.

My hamantaschen aren't beautiful but they taste good.  I didn't go traditional routes with the fillings. I used Nutella and added butterscotch chips and nuts in some.  Turned out really nice and I kept doing the dishes and more dishes and more dishes.

My back hurts but it was kinda worth it.

G=d, Mama, I miss you. It sometimes feels like I'll never get past this enough to move on.

Working on it.

I went through some of the clothes in the closet and picked ut some that would fit me and that I'd actually wear and Jackie pulled a couple of things out of that stack.  The remainder will go to the Senior center that you loved or to charity.  It is beyond time to turn that room into a guest and craft room.

Love you, Mama

My speciality. I found this recipe in an unusual book in my senior year in highschool and we gave it a try. I've adapted it over the years (reducing the paprika so we aren't reaching for a pitcher of water or milk like Jonathan Harker was). This works well with just breasts or thighs or whatever combo you'd like.  The sauce is fantastic on eggs the next morning too.

Becoming Mom - part whatever

Okay, instead of hand sewing something as I normally would, I used the machine. The design works, the stuff for the project doesn't.  We need bigger pipe insulation. We're making drafty door blockers and the insulation is too small since we ripped out the carpets. So, first foray into sewing with a machine in a long time went well but the project is stalled until tomorrow or Friday.
