Christmas 2012 Tripletych: Trillingarna på äventyr

This is a post about the planning of the fantasy portraits I painted of the triplets for Christmas for my mom and anyone else who might be interested (she's the only sure bet, as it were.)

These are the pictures (embiggenable via clickthrough):

Here's some foods I wish would magically appear in front of me, and which I will therefore have to force myself to get around to making soon, hopefully during this Christmas break. Or, okay, maybe January. We couldn't eat all that in a week anyway.

I like food but I don't really enjoy making anything except desserts. But still, if it's the only way...

• chicken pot pie


• mushroom and spinach mini-quiches


• hummus and falafel sandwiches


• multi-cheese macaroni and cheese with breadcrumbs


• mini eggrolls or else pan-browned dumplings


• tabbouleh salad


• something with artichoke hearts, but I haven't decided what yet

I saw a post on Tumblr about making mini-quiches in a silicone muffin tray and I've been dying to try it out.

I also want to teach myself to make Chinese dumplings, but I am generally too lazy for foods with multiple steps, like where you have to make a dough separately before you can start. And you can't buy dumpling skins in our store. Maybe in the big ones.
