Grow any fresh herbs lately? Not with the cold-snap that last two weeks. Ditto for homemade jam. What’s the point of making jam at home if you’re not starting out with plump, pretty produce?
Looking over my resolution list, I’m not getting off to a good start in 2011. I’m such a failure; I can’t even achieve the goal of sleeping 7 hours each night. In fact, instead of progressing with my goals, I’ve taken a few steps back, especially with the running. Without yoga in my life, I don’t treat my muscles right and stretch, which has resulted in some very sore shins when running. So it has been back to the ellipticals for the past couple of weeks.
At least I’ve been laughing and baking often. With a friend looking over my shoulder, I tried to make macarons. Though they didn’t turn out too well, too much feet, not enough head, and much too soft, we had a lot of laughs while baking up these little sweets.
Bonne Maman’s wild blueberry preserves? Just sweetened everything a tad more.
When enjoying life, add as much sugar as possible. And then add scant teaspoon more for safe keeping.
