not allowed out

I has been ungrounded yayayay! (bad grammar intended) Missed out on three outings but that's okay, i will make up for them :) 

What have i been up to? Yesterday i made an Apple Pie which Laura and the dogs ate half of 5min after it was cut. And then Laura poured caramel over it and turned it into moosh. Oh well... still yummy moosh and i learned how to peel apples with a knife too :D 

And today i went shopping and made Tarragon and Lemon Butter. I couldn't find fresh tarragon leaves (how disappointing) so i had to use the dried version. Has this subtle licorice taste to it. I found i needed two lemon rinds instead of the suggested one and a bit more salt to cut through the fattiness of the butter. Yay!

I also made Pappardelle Carbonara :) I forgot to buy bacon so i substituted the meat for sliced ham hock and frankfurts. No cream was used in this recipe... because traditional carbonara doesn't have any! Instead you pour beaten eggs over the combined pasta and sauce mixture at the very end to get that creamy taste :) Oh, and don't forget the cheese! For some reason this pasta tastes good with a squirt of lemon... credits to Laura for this suggestion. 

What if i don't feel like swimming. What if i forgot how to swim and only remembered how to drown...? Wait then that means i must have drowned before. HMMMM... or i watched/made someone drown and learned from that mwahahahhaa... er what. 

Sorry for not taking pictures while i was cooking. Long post today.
