Stuff and other stuff
I took lemon bread into work today (one of the products of a weekend of intense baking) and apparently I'm allowed (positively encouraged) to bring any baking samples in that I might want to. It's quite flattering to have so many people saying lovely things about my baking skills :-)
Over the course of the weekend, I produced the following:
10 portions of bean and lentil soup
10 cornbread muffins
12 chocolate nut muffins
2 loaves of lemon bread
My freezer is well-stocked :-) And my colleagues didn't get all the lemon bread - I have a few sliced retained for private consumption.
In other, completely unrelated things...
I am reading Twilight. It's every bit as awful as everyone said it was. I'm halfway through and have yet to find any kind of plot. Well, plot beyond "Edward is a vampire and Bella is soooooooooooo clumsy!". Sadly, I can see exactly why it appealed so much to the teen crowd. I despair for the future of my species.
Hopefully I'll finish it in the next couple of days. Despite my growing hatred for it and the frankly ridiculous sparkling vampire chapter that I just read, I'm glad that I now know what it's like and can mock and critique without hypocracy.
It's a good thing that Among Others is excellent and I've just cracked open Fables: Volume 2 so that I have antidotes to the stupidity.
Also, last week saw new issues for most of the comics that I'm following. This week is going to be very comic-oriented.
I've constructed a list of what I want to see at the cinema over the next few months. Hopefully my cinema buddy is up for it:
Avengers
Snow White and the Huntsman
Abraham Lincoln: The Vampire Hunter (not too fussed about this one, but the trailer looked fun)
Brave
Spiderman
Dark Knight Rises
Hobbit
Wow, that's quite a lot for me. Huh.
Lastly, I am now the proud owner of a wrist splint (smallest size available, thank you twig-wrists) in an attempt to stop my right wrist subluxing in the night and being all ouchy and crunchy during the day. I'll be using it at night only and hoping that it doesn't drive me insane. Stupid EDS.
