<\/p>\nI think this is the first Twosday post I’ve written since before the baby was born! Craziness!\u00a0 It’s also the post I’ve written in a few weeks.\u00a0 So, here’s to catching up, across the board!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Food adventures I’ve had recently<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Roasting a turkey for the first time!\u00a0 I even bought a new roasting pan for the occasion.\u00a0 I was a little nervous about the adventure, but I followed these instructions from The Kitchn<\/a> and didn’t even bother with basting (on the advice of other websites).\u00a0 The skin was crispy, the turkey decently moist and I was totally satisfied with the result.\u00a0 I’ll be making one again for sure (and I should probably roast chicken more often too, now that I own a roasting pan and everything). Restaurants I’ll be visiting on my upcoming visit to Portland, Maine<\/b> Things Baby E is up to that I can’t get enough of<\/b> Things I cannot believe about Baby E lately<\/strong> Podcasts I’m listening to every episode of<\/strong> Signs that spring really is coming to the Berkshires, despite the fact that it snowed yesterday…and flurried today<\/strong> <\/p>\n
\n2. Making the first half of this month’s King Arthur Flour Bakealong project – Almond Puff Loaf<\/a>.\u00a0 If the final product lives up to the comments on the recipe, I’ll be thrilled.\u00a0 So far: it’s been the easiest Bakealong yet.\u00a0 I’ll be finishing it tomorrow!<\/p>\n
\n1. The Thirsty Pig<\/a>\u00a0(I want everything on the menu!)
\n2. Holy Donut<\/a> (a mandatory visit whenever we head to Maine)<\/p>\n
\n1. Waving to and blowing kisses at anyone she sees – supermarket clerks, bike riders on the Rail Trail, cars going by.\u00a0 It’s pretty stinkin’ cute.
\n2. Talking up a storm, entirely in unintelligible baby babble.<\/p>\n
\n1. She will be 18 months in a couple weeks, where does the time go?
\n2. She is already wearing some 2T clothing.<\/p>\n
\n1. That Sounds Fun with Annie F. Downs<\/a>
\n2. Overdue<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.relishments.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/crocuses-800x600.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
\n1. The crocuses have bloomed and the tulips are coming up.
\n2. I have two 5K races on the calendar, neither of which I’ve trained for even a little bit.<\/p>\n
