Pans and Pizza

Well, this weekend. I broke all of my rules and I ate wheat. Ok truth be told I have done this almost every weekend for the past three. But oh well, who is counting! I had amazing pizza, amazing donuts, and a beautiful banana cream pie. I then fell asleep all day sunday because that is what wheat does to me. On Sunday though I branched out my cooking to meatloaf, and let me tell you, it was delicious, and it makes for great leftovers. It is a pretty easy recipe too, you just saute onions, garlic, celery, and carrots then add that to like a pound of ground beef, put some ketchup in the mix and then put it in a loaf pan and paint it with ketchup. Delicious! Last saturday I went apple picking, so of course I made apple sauce on Sunday. Funny story, so I thought I was cooking with cranberries for the last while, but it turns out they were cherries. Whoops!

But the highlight of all my food experience over the last two weeks will have to be the medieval festival. My dad and I went to the cloisters and we were walking through Fort Tyrone park, when suddenly the park turned into a medieval festival. Turns out sunday was the annual medieval festival for New York. Just to give you an image of what this looks like, imagine fat women in corsets with long flowing hair, and small chidren awkwardly fitted in clothes from the dark era. But all the same the main food for the festival was turkey legs. So of course, to get into the true spirit of the medieval ages I walked around looking like a savage and eating some yummy food.

Yesterday, the most exciting thing happened (even more exciting than the medieval festival). I got a set of 12 All-Clad cooking wear. Suddenly my little kitchen has turned into that of a real gourmet. (Note: I feel awful saying gourmet now due to the death of the magazine)

Oh I scheduled an appointment with a doctor to find out just how legit this gluten situation is. Denial really is an amazing force in a persons life.
