The girls of Apartment #17
The girls of Apartment #17 turned all domestic today! Yes, we COOKED. Well, Aarti and I did, anyway. Shelley wasn't feeling well and Sarah was at dinner with Brad. It took us, like, three hours to make dinner, but it turned out really well. We made pumpkin soup from scratch. We took pumpkins, skinned them, cut them up, and made soup out of them. Really yummy. We also made knoedl (however that is spelled... bread-like stuff). You are supposed to wrap it in cheese cloth, tie it up, and boil it, but we had no string (unless we wanted to turn dinner into a Bridget-Jones-esque fiasco) and no cheese cloth, so we used paper towels, no ties. Lol. It worked relatively well.... tasted good at least! We also "made" sangria. It came pre-mixed, but we cut up all the fruit. Also very yummy. I am enjoying my introduction into the world of wine. Tried two different kinds at our Prelude to Thanksgiving Saturday night.
And for after dinner... The Cocktail Hour.
