- I made a dessert treat this week for us and I forgot the sugar.
- On the plus side, it was cinnamon raisin biscuits with a powedered sugar glaze topping anyhow so it wasn’t such a terrible result after all.
- I still want my brain back though.
- We were finally able to upgrade both of our cell phones. I am feeling so technologically hip. Cool. Wait…what word is used these days?
- This phone also has its on tv service which is free for two months. It’s neat but I really have no use for it so we’ll cancel it once the free term is up. It is amazingly good quality – I was surprised. If I were a business traveler, it would probably come in handy I suppose?
- I wonder if the cell phone makers put these phones through toddler tests. If phones can pass toddler tests, they are quality phones. Our old phones were washed, tossed, and tumbled so many times we lost count and they still worked. All thanks to our children, of course.
- Allergy season is in full swing here and I’m feeling every bit of it.
- Just to redeem myself from the cinnamon raisin biscuit disaster, I want you to know I successfully made homemade biscuits for biscuits and gravy last night. They turned out beautifully. Just so you know. :)
- I am reading John Piper’s Desiring God.
- Going for 101 in 1001 list update:
- 41. I know what I want in two of my front flower beds, weeds are pulled (mostly), beds cleaned out, and just need to go get plants and mulch!
- 48. I read The Taming of the Shrew and then watched the movie with Elizabeth Taylor. Good stuff!
- 96. Watched West Side Story. Classic.
- 18. Made a dessert for March. Cinnamon Raisin Biscuits. Yes, its the one I forgot the sugar for.
- 40. I have picked out my piece of music and now need to work on being disciplined enough to work on it every day.
- 59. I’ve bought the books to use with G. Now to get started…
I love making biscuits! I usually just make regular biscuits, but my wife makes drop biscuits (takes less time). She uses the recipe from Cook’s Illustrated. If you’re interested in it, let me know. It’s great when you want good homemade biscuits, but don’t have a whole lot of extra time (which for my wife is pretty much always!)
OKay, you are pushing ahead w/ your 1001 things list! You go! I’m feeling like I’m dragging! It is fun though, isn’t it!?
West Side Story… one of my all-time favorite movies. Love the dancing. :~D
You’re doing well with your 101. That’s a lot of progress.
What do you think of Desiring God? I’m reading “When Godly People Do Ungodly Things”. I’m really enjoying it, not like the first time where it seemed a little too much.
