What Noisy Cats Are We

It has been a busy couple of weeks.  Took a trip to Buffalo for a family reunion and whatnot.  Here are a couple of pics of recent activities.  The first off is G’s beaded barrettes.  She wants to sell these things in Etsy or something at some point.  I think it’s a good start!  Here is a pic or two:

Tonight I was going to make pizza dough for tomorrow night.  I was all excited.  I opened up The Bread Baker’s Apprentice to try Peter Reinhart’s recipe for it.  Normally I use my own recipe but I wanted some new ideas.  Apparently I’d moved over to a different bookmark in the book and measured out and started mixing the ingredients for focaccia.  Oops.  So I just gave up and am making focaccia.  I might put pizza stuffs on it tomorrow night (overnight fermentation in the fridge), and I might just make some bread.  Here’s a quick pic of what it looked like before I clumsily moved it to a pan.  (Oh yeah, and I’d forgotten the parchment paper.  D’oh!)

Couple random pictures from the trip to Buffalo, beginning with a pic of a full sized buffalo that my aunt has behind her house, as well as a horse.  She as an artist based out of East Aurora, New York, and threw quite the fun family reunion.

It’s been a busy few days mixed with a ton of driving (8 hours each way to Buffalo plus a TON of driving around!), visiting with family and friends, and just being away from Boston.  Coming home was nice, but I can’t wait to get out of town again.
