It snowed today.
I could not tell if it was snow or hail. No flakes. It looked like the styrofoam beads from a bean bag chair.
Also, not all the streets are as pretty as Købmagergade. This street is cement tiles reminiscent of what you would buy at Lowes or Home Depot for a garden path. It is my route to the closest grocery.
It snowed on and off all day.
Baking is my therapy.
So, what’s missing? I cannot find an oven thermometer to figure out the heat range of this oven. It is in Celsius and it runs hot. We now faithfully check when we catch that first aroma.
The cabinet that houses the stove top hood is my spice rack. It is so sad. Spices and herbs are missing. Things like dried parsley and nutmeg are not readily available at the local groceries. I have a lead on a spice market. They sell starter spice kits for around $90 usd. I will need to be discriminating in what I choose.
That myriad of salad dressings at your local store are down to 3, maybe 4 different flavors, mostly cream based. Forget about different brands. Brian likes a cheap Italian. I picked up the only Italian without reading the label. We think they waved the oil and vinegar over it. I used it for an excuse to buy an olive oil decanter and dressing cruet.
There a lots of things ‘missing’, but that is what makes it fun. I have found new ways to make meals. I am learning to use new ingredients. I am making lots of things from scratch. Life is good.
