Critterfixer Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Gud mrnig. Snuffle, grunt. I am up. I did the school planning this morning because I never got to it yesterday. Fortunately, this is the last week of spring term, and the boys have vacation in a couple of weeks. I don't. I have to work. But...no school! Party! Today's plan--focus on my French and Latin this morning, then do a critique for a friend, work on a rewrite of my query with another writer who is a lot more bare-bones than I am, and then spend a few hours finishing up the revision of the final scene in this tough chapter. I think the next chapter is easier. If not, I'm skipping ahead and doing the epilogue chapter which I love and is very easy. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I don't think that I said good morning. Good morning! I got these new gf oatmeal "bowls" put out by Bob's Red Mill. Today's flavor was blueberry and hazelnut. It was ok. It will be perfect for taking to camp for breakfasts when gf choices are slim. I'm always looking out for new products that are portable and easy to prepare. (Just add hot water. Or add cold water and microwave.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 My SIL posted some artwork on her FB regarding some concert she was working or something and it had Japanese plastered across it. John read (as in sounded out, not comprehended) what it said and I realized I could do the same. That was a cool feeling. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I tell you that the magazine actually had two base recipes, one for oil and vinegar and one for creamy and then each base had 6 different things you could add to make different dressings? I’ll try to take a picture and post it here. It’s really quite awesome. Blue cheese is another variation on the theme. It was perfect, as usual!

Jean in Newcastle Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 Most of the traditional Japanese songs are in samurai Japanese- so like in Medieval English for us. Nice music.

Critterfixer Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 I did not make dinner. I ate grapes and cheese. It was just too hot to cook today, and I couldn't bring myself to turn on the oven. I have been putting in revisions since I got home from meeting, and I'm almost done with this bear chapter. There's one more of these, but it's a character issue, not a plot issue. Character issues I love to solve. Plot issues give me ulcers. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted May 30, 2018 Share Posted May 30, 2018 We had the last of the soup for dinner. Kansas City Steak soup. Ds13 said it was time to make more. :svengo: I think we'll do more chef salads for the summer! I got all the End of Year books ordered. Very late. Mostly used from abebooks.com, and a couple from Amazon. I found relatively inexpensive Easton Press (leather bound with gilt) copies of The Talisman and Emma. Did not resist. Also got some Konemann Classics which are generally under $4 apiece and have the softest paper. I love books with soft paper. I snuggle them. Speaking of air conditioning, it's cold in here. Dh and I have differing opinions on how cold it needs to be in the house. I need a sweater. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
