Wednesday is Happy
Jul. 14th, 2010 11:19 amBody: Good news - I actually got a good night's sleep last night! Bad news - my right knee is killing me. I don't think I did anything particular to it, but it might be the change in air pressure.
Reading: Still working on The Golden Bough by James Frazer.
Hearing: The Footstompin' Podcast - Scottish and Scottish influenced music, mostly traditional folk.
Project Follow-up: Last night was busy. First I did my usual chores of dishes and making dinner. Then I washed and pitted all of the leftover cherries (about 5 cups) and started them soaking in vodka, which is the first step in turning them into another cherry cordial. After that I washed and sliced 6 largeish cucumbers and turned them into refrigerator pickles using this recipe. Lessons learned for next time: have one container big enough to hold all the pickles. All of this was around Tom fixing the driver's side mirror from my car, and
gwenlianna drilling scales to make herself a set of armor.
Tonight's Project: Sorting out and putting away this week's farm box, then dinner and hanging out with a friend.
Randomness: One of the things I want to do before Pennsic is get a haircut. What I can't decide is if I should get a trim (an inch or less), or a drastic cut (3-4 inches). Does anybody have an opinion?
