these cowboys all go crazy in the heat
In a fit of, I dunno, stupidity? I bought some cashews and dried apricots this morning to make cashew and apricot clusters in addition to everything else on my list? And I used some Perugina chocolate, which was more milk than dark (label notwithstanding), but I feel like the cashews overwhelmed the apricots (not to mention the cranberries that you don't know are there until you read the recipe), so I'm not sure it was worth it. Also they are not very pretty. Maybe just apricot and cranberry next time? I still have all the others to go - cranberry pecan, pistachio cherry, almond cherry, hazelnut, macadamia nut, and pb cups. Oy.
I toasted the pecans last night (so delicious!) and I'm toasting the hazelnuts now - they're such a hassle but also so tasty that I can't leave them out, and I need to use the time it takes for the other candy to set for something. At least the pistachios came pre-chopped etc.?
The real reason I feel so behind is that I woke up in good time - at around 8:15 - but spent a couple hours finishing off that recalcitrant yuletide treat. It is off to beta and I think it turned out well despite some possible mood issues? But I don't usually have to scrap five different takes on a story so that was...something. Now I can finish the last treat I want to write. I hope anyway.
In other news, it's Wednesday, so there should be a reading update, but uh, since I haven't been commuting, I haven't been reading books? I did buy a bunch of comics at the Comixology sale (Black Widow, She-Hulk, Lumberjanes), though, so they could be in the up next slot. Meanwhile, I've mostly been reading fic, so here is the pre-Yuletide December recs update:
unfitforsociety has been updated for December 2016 with 20 recs in 5 fandoms:
* 13 Star Wars (includes Rogue One spoilers)
* 3 Avengers
* 2 Check Please!
* 1 Gilmore Girls and 1 Six of Crows
read, love, feedback!
Now I gotta go rub some nuts! *is the twelvest*
