31 Days of October, Day 16

  I need suggestions/recommendations for cookbooks. Preferably ones I might be able to find in the library, and while I'm ever so wordy at times, when it comes to cooking, pictures are a godsend. For I'm not completely stupid in the kitchen, but it always takes me a few days for my brain to remember, "dude, you've done this before, or something similar." Which is why my cooking/baking/whatever-ing comes and goes in bursts. This would be one of those bursts, I guess. Recipes themselves are also good.


I thought up an idea for the contest and spent four hours last night working on props that would have taken maybe an hour to do (with breaks) if we'd had the proper things instead of me having to craft my own versions. Now I just have to remember where I was going with this idea again. And then hope it turns out well. :P


I don't understand Hallmark Channel. Every other year you can't go an hour in October without them marathoning the hell out of their various Good Witch movies and this year, when they've got a new one on the way? NOTHING. Which was most disappointing to realize when I was in the middle of my 4 hour stretch and The Good Witch itself is the only thing on Netflix.

I need something like that to keep me going, man. Also, I need to find my copy of Practical Magic (the DVD) for when I finish re-reading the book.

2 weeks to go! Less than that before my mini-vacation begins. (And by mini, I do mean mini.)
