Well that was exhausting.

The feast is over and it went well. I won't be doing that again any time soon. If there is interest I will do a re-cap. But for now:

Usually I am dinking around with the menu right up until the week before the feast - but I have been so paranoid about this feast, and trying to find the time to do the planning working around the Eman's schedule, that I appear to be substantially ahead of myself. I think I might have nailed down a menu and it's recipes.

In my attempts to do something useful with my online time I have started a blog. Like a real blog. Not natterings of my daily doings, but a blog with a subject - where I will stay on topic and stuff. Hopefully, if I can keep it up, it will be a blog that I can use as a reference in my attempts to do some freelance writing. Because before someone ( Read more... )

For a little spam. I do not usually do this kind of thing but this one seems to be kinda harmless.

Swagbucks

Apparently this is a new way that people are making small amounts of money online, fairly painlessly. You sign up and then use their interface to do web searches. Of course they advertise to you. You get "points" for doing the searches and ( Read more... )
