I cooked and cleaned today in anticipation of a pre-Easter dinner with Ms. S.’s parents, and I found it glorious.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. The social aspect, the stories, all that, are our own personal matter.<\/p>\n
2. We got lots of chocolate as an Easter gift, though! And some cookies. And so on. A chocolate-covered cake in the shape of a lamb!<\/p>\n
3. Soups of the day: Carrot & Cauliflower, and Blackeye-pea & Tomato. The former is incredibly creamy; the latter had a good kick to it. They both went over very well.<\/p>\n
4. I made mini-quiches; Ms. S.’s mother brought deviled eggs. Yay!<\/em><\/p>\n 5. Two breads, too: a plain, white sourdough, and a sourdough-based rye (50% rye, 50% white) … both turned out okay, I think. The former was a nice boule and\u00a0 I sent about a quarter of it home with the guests; I sent about a quarter to half of the rye with them. It didn’t rise as much and was a much squatter loaf, but spongey and by no means dense.<\/p>\n 6. Ms. S.’s mother brought oatmeal chocolate chip cookies; I made the chocolate chip cookies from\u00a0Vegan with a Vengeance<\/em> (highly recommended, book and recipe). And she brought cake; I made a pistachio ice cream (almond-coconut milk based). And so dessert could have room temperature, wam-from-the-oven, and frozen.<\/p>\n 7. Wine and beer.<\/p>\n It’s as if everything came in twos. That’s not counting the pasta salad or the roasted vegetables, though both included carrots.<\/p>\n And now: TV rotation with Ms. S.! Could the day be more perfect?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I cooked and cleaned today in anticipation of a pre-Easter dinner with Ms. S.’s parents, and I found it glorious.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[201],"tags":[115,504,235,503,181,320,168],"class_list":["post-748","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-food-2","tag-beer","tag-cake","tag-chocolate","tag-cookies","tag-food","tag-soup","tag-wine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/748\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.universalem.org\/homo_aestheticus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
