I'm glad I got to see this!

Have you thought of making yogurt instead of cheese? I have a friend who used to make his own yogurt, and he loved it.

You're the first person I've seen who hasn't fawned all over Wolf Hall. I like that; I like differing perspectives. I saw that it's written in present tense and I kind of cringed a little inside. Present tense is fun in fanfic, but in a novel it can come off as artsy-fartsy in my opinion.

I copied the recipes for some of the soft cheese and paneer. I do also want to work on making my own yogourt.

I felt badly not liking Wolf Hall as much as (it seemed) everyone else, but maybe because I am so familiar with the Henry/Anne story, I didn't really get much out of it? I don't know.

I'm really amazed at your reading acumen. Specifically, how you could get through Bob Harris's dreadfully dull book. I hope I'm not ruined on Jeopardy! memoirs because of Ken, but dang, I didn't care for that book.

I haven't read it yet. It was on the list from a recommendation from someone I went to high school with. I will take it off the list if you think it was dull - I trust you about these things! :)

And I loved Brainiac - one of my best books of the year when I read it!
