The blueberry soup was excellent, very tasty and light, mine involved no measurements, just mixing cinnamon, blueberry, water, sugar, cornstarch til it looked right. No lemon though, it's sour enough. Don't omit the cornstarch, it adds necessary texture and flavor too. M and I both remember that in our poorer childhood, our sisters would make us a ( Read more... )

I wish it would snow!
No tree, upset. Asked M to leave the car so I can run to the Home depot and see if they have any left. Space is at a premium, but I should have moved something out to make room.

I was happy about splurging and getting my nikon d3100, and THEN, this happened. She has Canons that cost minimum a couple of thousand, but that's ( Read more... )

Came home, straight to bed, exhausted, watched more Nigella and a very bad, very strange Jamie Oliver christmas cooking show, and than just had to make the meringue of a pavlova. Because it's the easiest baking thing I know, just whip egg whites, add sugar, whip more, add spoon of cornflour (which I forgot in my fatigued fog), and bake for an hour ( Read more... )

Passed out sleeping after dinner BUT WITHOUT agreeing to it. You know what I mean? You're tired so you say, oh i'll just close my eyes for a few minutes. But one moment I was watching Office, the next thing I knew I was waking up towards the end of it. Damn. First for everything. Now I know how M feels when he falls asleep without realizing it.

Shopping done, but need olive oil which is a good 30 minute bus and trolley ride away. I really have a hard domestic life without a car.

Look at this bracelet from there, you could really want to live again having a bracelet like this on ( Read more... )

IT's so hot my candy is melting!!!!!!! I better hurry up and eat it for pete's sake.
Shopping for a discontinued line of fabrics, what's left is going for triple on ebay, bastards. I don't know why they discontinue a fabric, never to be printed again, so future quilters are out of luck.

Summer cold, suffered for two days before I finally thought to take a couple of ibuprofen. Within 15 minutes, and a rootbeer and chicken caesar salad M brought me from Costco's food court, I felt so much better I felt stupid for not taking the pills earlier. I had eaten earlier, I know it wasn't the food of sugar. I was so sick I couldn't even get ( Read more... )
