Pick a cookbook and make every single recipe in it.
Ok, y’all. I’m back after six months of not posting. I have to admit that I have not been doing much Thing-ing this year. I have read a couple of books for Read or Rid, but mostly, I’ve been reading very trashy romance novels that I checked out on the library’s Overdrive App. (And I’m…
Here it is, another new year, and I’m attempting the Blog Regularly Thing again. I have a better outline of topics prepared than I did last time and I’m not doing any extra contract work on the weekends so I feel like I’m more set up for success this time. Before I go on to…
In the last two weeks, I have made some more progress on the two biggest Things: the Cookbook Thing and the Read or Rid Thing. It had been a while since I’d done any cooking from the Smitten Kitchen book so I was glad to get back to it. First, I made Broccoli Slaw for…
Well, I’ve made it another year around the sun, and one year closer to my age 42 deadline. I am 37 years old. (How did that happen?!) So I’ve got five years left. That sounds like so much time, but I know I can’t expect to cram in all the Things in the last two…
I haven’t blogged in so long…I’m not sure where to start. I guess I’ll just catch you up on the Things I’ve been doing. I’ve made a few more Smitten Kitchen recipes — a slaw, alfredo shells and peas, and leek fritters with a sour cream lemon garlic sauce. All of them have been delicious…
Well, here I go again with the very irregular posting. See why blog consistently for 6 months is one of my Things? It will take some real effort. Granted, I do have a few good reasons for not being on top of my Things lately. I picked up some side work and it’s been gratifying…
I’ve been busy with Things and life and work and chasing my awesome baby all over the house. In the midst of that, I made another Smitten Kitchen recipe: Brownie Roll Out Cookies. They were fun to make. Unfortunately, I didn’t take a lot of pictures. A picture from the cookbook, the dry ingredients, and…
Part 1: Clarification I feel like my last post was incomplete. I keep thinking about going back and editing it, but I decided to just clarify it here and move on. I mentioned finding what triggered my most recent depression. I want to make it clear that, this time…for me…there was a definite external trigger…
I haven’t posted in nearly a month. It’s been a hard month. My daughter was born in March of this year, and since then, I’ve been battling some pretty gnarly postpartum depression. Things started looking up in June and July, around the time I started this project, not-so-coincidentally. But things took a turn in August…
Last night I finished Mostly Harmless, the final book in the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy series by Douglas Adams. A few spoilers are coming, so you’ve been warned. I remembered that I never actually finished that book the first time I read the series. I quit reading around when Trillian showed up again because…
