*I passed my Preliminary Exam last week! I just a have a little bit more research, my thesis writing to tackle, and then my defense!
*Mike's home alone for a few days while I'm off to Texas. Maybe he'll blog about his exciting adventures.
*I discovered new dishes that I enjoy: 1) yamaimo okura natto nebaneba bo-ru minus the ikura. It's basically a slimy mess of natto, a grated sticky potato, and okra. Oh, it's great! 2)and chicken biryani, an Indian rice dish.
*I treated myself to a present. "Field Guide to Cookies," by Anita Chu from Dessert First. I'm quite excited about this purchase. I've been meaning to buy this book for a while, but needed to find something else on Amazon so that I could receive the free shipping.
Congrats! Good luck with your interviews! My mom also wishes you luck!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I hope you like the book, Anita is a great baker!!
ReplyDeleteThank Chou. It was so nice talking to you and catching up yesterday!
ReplyDeleteKat-thanks. I'm pretty sure I will enjoy the book. I figured I'd try out some of the recipes for the holidays.
Congratulations! So exciting :) I never did try natto. The one time I smelled it I wasn't feeling adventurous enough.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! What an accomplishment! I am just like you with Amazon. I have been contemplating for a while now about buying a book called bundt cake bliss but haven't found another one to qualify for the free shipping!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diana! I really like natto, but it is definitely an acquired taste.
ReplyDeletejoie de vivre-
Thanks for stopping by our blog. The "Bundt Cake Bliss" book sounds great and it looks like it received good reviews! Hmmm...I may have to look into this purchase too!
