I’ve been under the radar lately… as far as blogging is concerned. Between the writing, editing, plotting, and let’s not forget the teaching (which has its own universe of writing, editing, plotting, etc.), I’ve been a tad busy. On top of that, I’m considering how I want to revamp this blog, revamp it with a focus (or dare I say, platform) where what I have to say isn’t just an echo of what a gazillion other bloggers have to say.
More on that later.
In the meantime, Thanksgiving is only a day a way and here’s what’s cooking in my kitchen.
Prosciutto with Persimmons
Johnnycakes with Peekytoe Crab
Cider-Glazed Turkey
Boston Brown Bread Stuffing with Bacon and Tarragon
Yukon Gold Potato and Wild Mushroom Gratin
Roasted Yam Puree
Sauteed Green Beans with Crisp Garlic
Cranberry Chutney
Cornmeal Pound Cake with Rosemary Syrup, Poached Apples, and Candied Rosemary
Caramel-Pumpkin Pie with Mincemeat Ice Cream
Yes, I’m a glutton when it comes to cooking.
Actually, I guess I’m a glutton when it comes to pretty much everything. Life’s Too Short to do otherwise.
Happy Holiday!
Strike that, reverse it…
Quite a few friends are posting their TO DO lists on their blogs, Livejournals, Facebooks, etc. I’ve actually enjoyed reading them as it gives me a sense of how everyone fares while insanity ensues. So here goes my turn:
TODAY
1. Grade 3 massive student projects
2. Read/Critique/Grade 8 thirty-page screenplays
3. Prepare dough for 24 hour No Knead Bread
Awesome stuff. Bake this bread and then freeze it. When ready to eat, just pop in the oven @ 300 for 15 minutes.
4. Laundry – every blanket in the house
5. Wrap Fig Trees in preparation for snow/ice storm
6. Decorate Kitchen (Living Room already done)
7. Rewrite an abstract for a conference paper
8. Plug a story hole in an outline at the editor’s request
SUNDAY
1. Read/Critique/Grade 8 thirty-page screenplays
2. Clean shelves throughout house
3. Work more on outline revisions
MONDAY
1. Read/Critique/Grade 8 thirty-page screenplays
2. Get car serviced
3. Nail outline
4. Bake Seven Layer Cookies
Three days is enough for now — I’ll update as I go along. Obviously, the above (and what’s to come) will require equal doses of lunacy and Legavullin).
