I spent last evening cooking (and eating) a gourmet dinner of salmon wrapped in phyllo, risotto, and grilled vegetables. Now I can count the number of times we’ve used our good china on two fingers! :) (Both of which I managed to cut while opening the plastic packaging on the new meat thermometer we bought. How was I supposed to check if the salmon flaked easily when it was wrapped in eight layers of phyllo dough? Honestly. Don’t recipes get tested before they’re published? So I used the thermometer instead, and it came out perfectly.)
No progress on the pillows, though…
