DH and I just got back from our ten year anniversary trip to Iceland. It was so much fun and a really amazing place to explore!
Now we’re home and I’m trying to cram in all the things that need to be done to get ready for what promises to be a hellish week catching up on work. I’m taking lots of breaks to hug and kiss the boys though. I missed them. ❤️
Our cleaner was supposed to come today, but I asked if she can do a different day this week since we’re all home. I’m hoping she can come tomorrow so my house will be fresh and clean.
I am chafing at the lack of privacy in my house. There is no where that is 100% MINE where I can close everyone out. I have an office but it’s a pass through room so even that has no privacy. Ugh.
The morning air is crisp and cool and so I harvested all my basil and thyme and I'm drying it now.
I'm also working on a braided brioche cinnamon apple muffin recipe I cant get out of my head. I love mornings like this.
I'm on vacation this week and at the end we're going to a resort in VT for a few days.
Going back to work is going to super suck.
Recipe please.
I don't have one
I found an apple variety in NY I hadn't seen before and made an apple pie filling. Then I made a brioche dough and after the first rise, I spread a cinnamon butter (like a cinnamon roll filling) mixed with some of the pie filling and did an envelope fold (tri-fold). I sliced into strip and took each strip and made 3 slices, while leaving one end intact so they stayed connected. I braided each strip and rolled them on themselves (in a spiral) and plopped each roll into the pan to prove before the bake.

We have been thinking about going to Iceland the first week of October but I am so unsure. We are in Canada and haven't travelled at all and really haven't done much of anything. I feel like our plans for Iceland would be pretty covid safe but the plane ride/airport situation scares me.
I’ve decided it’s time my kids start learning how to cook, so last week I announced they’re in charge of one meal a week each. So tonight I’m teaching DS (9) how to make chicken tenders from scratch and boxed Mac and cheese. Giving a nine-year-old a carving knife is a little nerve-wracking.

Weirdly enough, a guy I went to high school with is in Iceland now lol. And he saw Ben Alldis from Peloton in Sky Lagoon. And I feel like he outed a secret bc Ben (and Jess Sims) had posted about going somewhere to film scenic rides/runs, but didn’t say where. But I guess it was Iceland LOL.
