siglinde99Yes, I realize it is almost October, but I have been keeping busy.
I love having S here every day, even though it's a lot of work. She got a co-op placement at a vet clinic on the very south edge of town (south of South Keys), so she has to leave the house at 7 am. No more relaxing in bed and doing mending or crafts while I listen to the news in the morning - now I'm up immediately, packing lunches and making breakfasts. I do some prep the night before, but as long as she is willing to eat a thermos full of hot food involving vegetables at lunch, I'm prepared to make it.
So, back to August.
I did not get any sewing done. I didn't complete any UFOs in my crafts pile. I didn't get a recipe done every single week because I went to Cuba for a week. I did read some magazines, and did a lot of swimming, plus some casual gardening, and I did achieve eight recipes.
Recipes:
4 - Cajun Spice Mix (allrecipes.com), gluten-free fortune cookies (fail - they were more like pancakes)
11 - chicken tikka, curried cauliflower (Chatelain Quickies cookbook), friend bars (somewhere on the internet). The chicken tikka was too spicy for ShuLing, and I had eaten it all before Geoff got home. I think he would have loved it. The friend bars were okay, but next time I would do them in a smaller pan so that they would be a little thicker and more bar-like.
13 - quick pickled dilly green beans (myrecipes.com). These were an emergency preservation pickle, made up because I had foolishly purchased a bunch of beans before going on vacation. They turned out to be lovely - crisp and very dilly.
31 - five spice chicken and Asian cauliflower (more random internet recipes to use up ingredients I happened to have in the house).
