Thursday is Canceled
Jan. 7th, 2010 10:45 amBody: The nose scrape and cheek bumps are mostly gone, and the rest of me feels as good as it ever does.
Reading: I took a break from Anathem to read yesterday's acquisitions.
Book Review: Cordials from Your Kitchen has a lot of recipes that sound yummy, and a lot that sound fairly easy. There is even a significant degree of overlap between the two categories. I think my first creation will be the "Quick and Easy" Cherry Liqueur (sugar syrup, vodka, concentrated cherry flavoring), most likely a half batch. If that turns out well then I'll try one of the versions made with fresh cherries. If that turns out well... I'll probably be going a little nuts. :-)
Hearing: Fresh Air
Etsy find: A lovely moonstone necklace
Project Follow-up: I test drove a Subaru Legacy wagon last night. It was OK, but not great. I'd prefer something a little smaller.
Tonight's Project: Dentist, dinner with friends (probably), and maybe another test drive if we can squeeze it in between the two.

Date: 2010-01-07 09:24 pm (UTC)My sympathy on the dentist visit. Although we have a lovely dentist, I dread dentist visits because back when I was a teen I had some hideous experiences with a dentist not believing me when I told him it hurt.
Your Cordial book sounds great. Fresh cherries! I love the idea. *wants fresh cherries*
