Goal and achievements, as described here.
Achievements:
So last time I finished neither of my intended goals. This round I didn't bother listing them, though I would really have liked to finish the pillow case for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cardboard_dream, sew a nest for xthread's little cat, as well as finish patching all of my jeans rather than just one pair. Oh, and having a clean apartment would have been nice too.
But, on the flip side, I have had a very busy 3 and a half months, with quite a bit of work in there. And I don't feel like nothing got accomplished even if none of my producing things goals got met (I have health insurance! I have had micro-adventures of my own design! I replaced the gear shifts on my bike!)
Recipes and Food:
0) N-grain bread (Kripalu cookbook) - I started making 9-Grain bread before I checked what ingredients I had.
1) Cheddar Cheese Muffins ()
2) Apples in red wine compote (kludge)
3) Maple Oatmeal with Dried Fruit and Sweet Spices (Not Your Mother's Slowcooker)
4) Basic Beans (Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker)
5) Slow Bourguignon (Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker)
6) Gooey Double Chocolate Brownie Pudding (Chocolate on the Brain)
7) Crackle Cookies (Cookies: A Fine Selection of Sweet Treats)
8) Lemon Olive-Oil Chiffon Cake (Luscious Lemon Desserts)
9) Pizza dough (http://www.woolfit.com/stuffedchicagopizza.html)
9.5) Deep dish pizza (the filling was a kludge)
10) Lentil and Red Pepper Soup (Not Your Mother's Slowcooker)
11) Whole wheat beer bread (http://allrecipes.com/recipe/whole-wheat-beer-bread/detail.aspx)
11.5) Rye beer bread (a kludge).
12) Savory Bread Pudding (a kludge)
13) Roasted Red Bell Peppers stuffed with Feta (World Vegetarian)
Books read:
Passage - Connie Willis: Connie Willis books are always a win, but I really wish this kinda heavy novel had actually mentioned that it features a main character with Alzheimer's in the blurb. That surprise didn't come at the best of times for me.
Smoke and Ashes - Tanya Huff: Fluff. Fluff with a gay male hero and vampires and demons, but still. Not that fluff is a bad thing, and clearly, as third in the series, I found it worth reading.
Sheepfarmer's Daughter - Elizabeth Moon: Meh. But it was free.
Halting State - Charles Stross: Stross writes a damn good story.
Fledgling - Octavia Butler: While not as philosophically provocative (to me) as many of her past novels, it still was a damn fine story.
