In the midst of a cooking session...I am not a neat cook and I usually have stuff everywhere. Drawers and cabinets open, so I can just walk around and get what I want. Dishwasher is open, so I can rinse and put utensils in for washing. It's probably a good thing I can't keep the fridge door open!
But from the mess, I made a bowl of macaroni salad, the sugar water and then the iced tea. I had some lemons leftover from last week's lemon meringue pie, so I made some fresh lemonade. A pan of peanut butter and chocolate brownies.
And these.....OMgoodness, they are so good. Sourdough soft pretzels that I tried to shape like hearts. There was an option to brush them with melted butter, but I didn't because we're going to be pulling them apart and dipping them. I was going to try sourdough bagels, but my BIL's sourdough starter died, so I took some of my unfed starter and put it away for him. Well, then he called me this morning and decided he'd rather wait until next weekend for his starter and it was too late to try bagels because they're a 2-day thing, so I thought I'd try my luck with soft pretzels, using the unfed starter.
And as of now, the kitchen is cleaned, counters are wiped down, and I'm working on laundry.
