No bike ride today. We were going to take the bike to town to do a couple of things—mostly just to take a ride—but after pickleball practice I was too tired. A sky full of dark clouds made Duane nervous about riding the bike, and he was easy to convince that we should skip it today.
Instead, I made another bracelet for my sister. This one was a “dressy” one in fall colors. I had it ready to mail before I thought of taking a picture. Hmmm. I also put away all of my bead stuff and prepared my work space for sewing again.
Since I had time for it, I decided to try a new (for me) mac-n-cheese recipe. I usually make the Wegley recipe which calls for Colby longhorn cheese. This was my first stab at creamy white mac-n-cheese with seafood. It was pretty good, except I put too much flour in the Béchamel sauce, which made it too thick to be very creamy. I also thought it a bit salty, but a bit of lime juice took care of that, and brought out the flavor of the cheeses. I used a combination of gruyere, gouda, asiago (in place of sharp white cheddar), and parmesan. For seafood, I used shrimp and small scallops. All in all pretty successful.
Rain scheduled tomorrow.
Louise and Duane
