Today has been monumentally happy. I got to spend the entire day with the most amazing sister in the universe. And here's how we closed our evening:
The Ratatouille soundtrack has been playing quite a bit around here (enough that I owe the library a pretty penny in late fees). So finally, we broke down and made the "peasant dish" with a fancy twist. Always wanted to try it....
At promptly 7:3opm, Glory and I turned on our imaginations and arrived at Gusteau's (or some equally extravagant French restaurant). Glory had the brilliant idea of speaking in accents, however French has always been difficult for me, so we switched things up and agreed that we were British tourists...
It turned out pretty good, if I do say so, but seeing how every ingredient in Ratatouille is not highly favored by a certain 9-year-old, Glory had mac'n'cheese for her first course. She did say though, after giving the ratatouille a brave try, that it was "interesting."
The finished product:
I was quite proud of how it turned out... but I must say the best moment of the night was when my sister leaned over, turned off her accent and said "This is so fun." That was more rewarding than anything. But of course we had to finish with something sweet:
It may not look like much... but it's red velvet cake with homemade cream cheese icing topped with berries. Delish. And of course, we had to finish our date with the actual movie... Glory made tickets :)
(I'm still a child apparently)Anyway, hope you enjoyed a snippit from our evening. I have one awesome sister, I tell ya.
