Riding the Rainbow

Some cross-country skiing at Bachelor on Saturday:

What’s the deal with this chair? I thought it was supposed to take me back up the hill. I think it’s broken.

Sunday was a big day. We went ‘pine skiing, and we finally caught the rainbow chair!

This was without a doubt the highlight of my life so far. I’m afraid it may all be downhill from here.

I’ve been doing a lot of cooking. I find safety glasses prevent my eyes from tearing when working with onions.

I let Mom help with the barley vegetable soup with homemade croutons. She messed something up:

The Bigs are watching the Great British Baking Show after I go to bed. Despite this complete and utter baloney, I still made Paul Hollywood’s brownie recipe for them.

We would be leaving the tent. Overbaked.

The Bigs also took the Yotam Ottolenghi Teaches Modern Middle Eastern Cooking Masterclass at night after I went to bed. This inspired a mezze feast this weekend. We had garlic confit:

hummus, Aunt Cheryl’s beet muhammara, and wheat sourdough.

Tonight I prepared Tofu and Haricot Verts With Chraimeh Sauce (also Ottolenghi) for dinner. You don’t think I made it do you? Silly readers. Never doubt the Emmett. Here I am cutting the green beans,

preparing the sauce,

frying the tofu,

and bringing it all together.

First bite.

I did good.
