I made a round challah for Roshashana last night. It came out all doughy in the middle because I didn’t let the yeast activate long enough. I modified the recipe I usually use for challah by adding honey and then rolling raisins into the braids before weaving them together. I threw a ton of rainsins on the top, but that seems to have been a mistake because they swelled and burnt. The outside of the bread was quite tastey eventhough the middle wasn’t edible! It was my first time making Roshashana dinner, and I don’t think I did a bad job- just a little different.

I went to visit friends this weekend, and eventhough I brought a long four projects- the Suprise Baby Jacket was the one I worked on the most. I’m sure part of it was that I was making it for their unborn baby, but also because it’s garter stitch and was the easiest thing to pick up while I was playing a game! I love these colors together. I can’t wait to make little accessories to go with this sweater. I should be working on my Christmas knitting, though…

I made lasagna! It was incredibly good, and I’m excited about having it today for lunch! I didn’t put any meat or veggies in it- just noodles, cheese and sauce. A LOT of cheese! I didn’t love the noodles I used- I used Trader Joe’s no boil noodles. We ate it with meatballs and asparagus. YUM! I felt totally crafting putting it together- overlapping noodles, breaking off corners so fit it in our lasagna pan (by the way- I’ve had the pan for like 2 years, and this is the first time lasagna has been made in it). Ben was like- what pan did you make it in? And I was like- uhh.. the lasagna pan. He was all- we have a lasagna pan?!

Ben and I went to the Adiraondack Balloon Festival on Saturday, and it was a ton of fun! This is a balloon that didn’t end up taking off. My dad has promised to send me the pictures I took with his camera- there was a ton of them. It was a lot of fun, and there were a lot of really great balloons! We saw a polar bear, a monster, a lady bug, a strawberry, and a dog! How fun!
