Wow, it’s been a minute since I’ve been on here!\u00a0 The farm is revving up and we ripped out the hospital ceiling in the living room.\u00a0 I posted the Single Mom Chronicles a whole four days late.\u00a0 And I didn’t get around to updating some dinners and whatnot!\u00a0 But there has been tilling!\u00a0 The chickens made it through snowpocalypse.\u00a0 All is not lost.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And there was Amandas birthday!\u00a0 I think she celebrated for like a week.\u00a0 I cooked her dinner and she had a big party a couple days later.\u00a0 Her favorite dish is salmon curry, so of course I\u00a0 made it.\u00a0 Thai curries are so amazing with just about any kind of seafood.\u00a0 All you need is the right curry paste.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Amanda wanted a pretty complicated dessert for her birthday.\u00a0 And we had just finished a three week long sugar fast.\u00a0 But, being the low talented humble baker of simple desserts that I am, I had to just go with a cake instead.\u00a0 I tried to get fancy with the filling.\u00a0 I made a raspberry gel and then folded that into fresh whipped cream.\u00a0 Disaster.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The cream kept oozing out of the sides.\u00a0 I was frantically scraping and flicking the excess into the sink.\u00a0 But it was oozing as fast as I could scrape it!\u00a0 Finally, I just squished the whole thing down to force the cream out because I only had half an hour to get the dang thing frosted before people arrived.\u00a0 I really don’t know how people enjoy baking.\u00a0 For me, it’s just a study in futility.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The curry, on the other hand, was a breeze.\u00a0 I made the curry.\u00a0 I baked a whole salmon.\u00a0 That made it super easy to just pull right off the bone.\u00a0 Jasmine rice happened in the Instant Pot.\u00a0 The cake was saved by chocolate raspberry frosting.\u00a0 And I got to hang out with friends instead of being stuck in the kitchen.\u00a0 Winning!<\/p>\n
