I picked out these cookbooks for this year's explorations. Some are certainly repeats. Some I have ignored in the past and some I really want to cook out of every day. We will see what happens, since we have two longish trips planned for this year. We will make it up somehow!
Here we are at the end of January, and this month I have browsed through the Superfast Weeknight Dinners magazine. The last recipe we tried was pasta with gorgonzola and spinach. Delicious. It was "light" because you use evaporated milk instead of cream in the sauce, and we used pasta with some extra fibre. But it was a tad decadent-seeming! More cheese than one should eat at one sitting, perhaps. A couple more days in the month; we might come up with something else to try.
I'm not sure what we will do for February, but I'm leaning toward the other magazine, a Soups and Stews issue. Stay tuned.
I am knitting, and have made 6 squares on my book blanket. Next week I'm taking a trip to a yarn shop to get a couple more colours, so I can incorporate movies as well. If I want to make a blanket for a single bed, I need.... 165 squares! Can that be? Not only is that a lot of books and movies, but an awful lot of squares! A lot more than 6. We'll all just stay tuned for that and see what happens.
