Date: 2025-12-13 08:56 am (UTC)I made thumbprint cookies with some of the fancy jams we've bought. I'd like to find a cookie dough that is more convenient to work with, but we agree that thumbprints are a great use for fancy jams.
I bought a new blend of Curry Spices, this one from Morocco, and tried making chicken soup with it. Needs some tweaking, but we quite liked the pearl couscous that we got to go in it.
Tonight I made the oat blueberry muffins again. <3
>> Are there any cool events or challenges happening that you want to hype? <<
Today I finished most of the notes for my Holiday Poetry Sale, which will open in my blog on Monday. I'm so excited! :D
We had planned on visiting a holiday market tomorrow, which would have a lot of local crafters, but the weather looks like snow. :(
I'm working on some goals from this year's list that can be finished late in the year. Some really don't wrap up until the end.
>> What have you been watching or reading? <<
We watched The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. It was surprisingly much more complex and interesting than the original. Currently we're watching Jurassic Park: Chaos Theory.
Currently reading Turns of Fate: An Isle of Wyrd Novel and A Shift of Means: Clear Springs Chronicles #2.

Trying to clear off two spaces: the top of the woodstove because Sunday is supposed to be extremely frigid, and a place to put the Moroccan mosaic lamp we just bought.
