Wednesday Roundup
Current Reality Reading:
Seven Storey Mountain by Thomas Merton
because I've had it on my shelf for, oh, four years without reading it, and now I have been given a big poke in the keister by THIS interview with Paul Elie about his book The Life You Save May Be Your Own, which looks into the lives of Thomas Merton, Dorothy Day, Flannery O'Connor, and Walker Percy. Because I'm slightly insane, I feel obligated to read at least one work by each person before reading Elie's book. To add another layer of intrigue--at one point or another, I have tried to read at least one book by each person and have failed each time.
Current Escape Reading:
The Woman Who Rides Like a Man (Book #3 of the Song of the Lioness Quartet) by Tamora Pierce
Currently eating:
Spinach Pesto Pasta with Chicken
Followed by too many:
Crunchie Bars that the Engineer's aunt and uncle brought me from Scotland. Soooo delicious and addictive. P.S. Here's a link to how you can make your VERY OWN Crunchie bars! (Click HERE). I dipped mine in chocolate, and will eventually post pictures, I plomise.
Currently wanting to make:
Fruit and vegetable preserves (a.k.a. Stuffing my squirrel cheeks for winter)--link HERE.
Also thinking about:
Starting a food-only satellite blog to My 3 Loves. Any suggestions for clever creative names that haven't already been taken by some of these clever creative people? A dinner (or goodie care package) courtesy of yours truly if I pick your name for my blog title!
Almost done knitting:
THE DAISY DUKES!!!
Then I'll be on to knitting:
Christmas Presents. For real. I mean it this year. No, I really do!
And that might actually be possible because:
Patriots Season (I mean Football Season) starts on Sunday!
Except I'm probably going to be just a leeetle bit distracted by THIS....
