It's Kitchen Party Time! Today I'm baking two big loaves of sourdough bread (we love the oversized bread pans so we can have BIG sandwiches, especially grilled cheese).

I'll also be starting a gallon of dandelion mead. I picked and cleaned the first of this year's dandelions yesterday. Bonus food, and the lawn looks better too. You only need a cup of the yellow petals. Lastly, I'll be making Orange Chicken over rice for dinner tonight.

Orange chicken sounds yummy

Got the bread rising:

And the mead bubbling:

The orange sauce is made, and I'll fry the chicken in a while. We tend to have late dinners.
