Today we took on doughnuts. Doughnuts take an entire afternoon, what with the room temperature butter and the stint in the freezer, followed by time in the fridge, and the mixing and mess.
These doughnuts looked and tasted nothing like what they were supposed to. Called apple cider doughnuts, I found no apple cider and instead reduced some apple-kiwi juice, and nearly burned it too. Then... white sugar. I was sure we had some, but no. Brown sugar went in instead. And flour. We started well on the flour but when we didn't have enough I pulled out a box of what I thought was gluten-free flour. Only it was gluten-free pancake mix. Too late. The cinnamon sugar topping also was brown sugar based. This is why I don't bake. I'm never prepared and nothing ever turns out. But they were still edible, so I guess it was a win.
Becca's room is more a mess today than it was yesterday. Some artwork started going back up on the walls, and she changed her curtains. Finally. Rather than the heavy cotton curtains with the gold shear she now has more of a light foresty theme going. The faux headboard is actually 2 asymmetrical screens bought at IKEA, put together in the corner. The rug too is new from IKEA. The black light stand has been wandering around the house looking for a home and it's found one.
Tomorrow we're back at work but the kids are home the rest of the week. She has time to pull it all together before school starts back up on Sunday. Hopefully clean room photos tomorrow.
