A bad day in the kitchen...

Yesterday I spent a lot of time cooking and didn't have a particularly good day of it. I put bicarb instead of baking powder in the apple and ricotta muffins, and now they taste like bicarb (gotta love that soapy bicarb taste). The oil wasn't hot enough when I was making onion bhajis, and they came out a bit soggy. Also I managed to slice into my fingernail (and the nail bed :-P) with a vegetable peeler - not a particularly sharp or impressive vegetable peeler, but I will note that brittle nails are one of the symptoms of iron deiciencies. And I gave myself a 'paper' cut with the lid of the ricotta, right on a really inconvenient part of the pad of my thumb. You know, right where it will get pressed whenever I use my thumb. Onion juice is not quite as bad as lemon juice, but it is not so nice on open wounds, I can tell you.

Our kids have taken to the internet like fish to water lately, and have managed to use up our monthly internet allowance in three weeks. They have been playing on Club Penguin, which is some kind of social website for kids. Mostly what this seems to involve is Erin getting on Skype and Club Penguin, talking to her school friends whilst they all wander around the site trying to find each other.

Also yesterday I finished the last of my antibiotics, which I have been taking continuously for something like five weeks now. This is not the longest I have ever taken antibiotics - the record being nine weeks when I had mastitis after Liam was born - but I'm in no hurry to break this one.
