Experimentation

First get out your ingredients

and mix together per the recipe.

Then hang out around

the oven while they bake

Finish off the last batch while you wait

Here's the recipe. You can see from

my notes that I have reduced the

amount of sugar to 1 1/3 cups.

This batch I also used pineapple

juice instead of OJ and used lemon zest

instead of the orange zest.

Very yummy experiment.

Have fun in your kitchen!

Lucy is thinking to herself:

"When are my humans going to pay attention

The humans are not about to let Lucy out

on the balcony because she jumped from the balcony

to the roof yesterday. Russell had to climb up a ladder

 and stuff her into a pillowcase to bring her back down.

Lucy promptly took a six hour nap.

I made a delicious dinner last night.

Instead of "Chicken Catch-a-Tory"

I made Chicken Ratatouille.

The eggplants, zucchini, onons,garlic, kale and stringbeans

all came out of the garden. I had to add store bought tomatoes

as all of ours are still green. It was yummy!

Tonight I will grill some more eggplants and zucchini

to go with the rest of our dinner.
