Memorial Dayish


We were off to the Memorial Day Parade in Cambridge and Elliot wanted to "get fancy". So she did, and did a good job of it all on her own.

Later, Elliot & Sam indulged me with a little play dough - I am on a quest to make a German soft pretzel akin to the one I just had at the Hoffbrau House. These pretzels are my first attempt at a Cooks Illustrated-style recipe investigation - and my first ever cooking with yeast. I don't even like pretzels, which is why its a good thing Ben LOVES them. He said these were fantastic. They are so far from what I was going for though. Stay tuned for future batches.
