Popcorn

We recently switched to a different (larger) popcorn kernel, and I didn’t account for this when measuring it out by eye. These popcorns popped up much larger than the old ones, and the volume was so great that they lifted the lid off the pot. They could not be contained!

Many Treats

I took the week off to focus on unpacking and organizing, and so I diligently cooked every random thing I could think of in order to avoid unpacking and organizing.

I made pelmeni, using Max Miller’s recipe

I made Schmoo Torte

And, since schmoo torte calls for twelve (12) egg whites, I had twelve egg yolks that I didn’t want to throw away. So I made (twelve yolks’ worth) gelato.

In unrelated news, unpacking has been slow for me for some reason.
