This is what you get when I post every day: more Louisa May Alcott

Thanksgiving was fun! I made highly successful apple pie. I realized less than an hour before I had to be at the dinner that I didn't have cornstarch. Oops. Luckily, 30 seconds on Google told me that twice as much flour is an acceptable subsititute! I also had no measuring spoons, and that after I went to all the trouble to get a metric recipe

Yay for the substitute cornflour and saving Thanksgiving! I would have died. And my guests would have been poisoned by my attempt at baking/cooking.

Hee! I was terrified that my pretty and delicious-smelling pie was actually secretly poisonous, and I was extraordinarily grateful that it wasn't. :D

I liked this post. There is nothing wrong with getting so into books or their characters. I loved all the marriages you mentioned, so wonderfully romantic. And I agree whole-heartedly about the evils of breaking spirit and people mindlessly following orders or expectations.
