striving for ordinary

We tried to have an ordinary day around here. After watching several youtube tutorials, Nu made pots de crème, which were sublime. So I guess the day was elevated into something special. 🤗

But there were no scary phone calls... no panic... no being terrified in the moment and traumatized repeatedly after...

I could get used to this.

When I saw the photo, I thought "are those Mentos? But what..."
Pots de creme! Yum!

Pots de creme sounds yummy. Sometimes a normal day can seem like such a blessing, can't it?

Does it taste like mint from gum?

They were, Nicole!
Thanks, Sarah!
Steph, yes--I'll take all I can get!
Gillian-they went in the dishwasher two or three times, and there's no trace of mint anymore.
