Alright. Despite my silence, some things have been happening. Yesterday I made a few phone calls and even went and checked out a potential kitchen space. It seems to be a bit of a mystery how I’m going to bake anything legally with the amount of money I have. I think I could spare $100/month if I keep eating potatoes. :o) There is that whole nightshades thing… but, you know, the Irish Potato Famine happened to them, not me. Right?
Ok, I’m mostly kidding. I’ll keep looking and I’m sure something will happen. In the meantime I’ve decided to do some more crafty things – bookbinding specifically – to try to increase my income a bit and also to increase my sanity. The lack of creativity in my life is a problem I can really no longer overlook. Baking is good, but sometimes there’s no one to eat it and then it’s a waste.
I don’t know if I mentioned it, but my sister is going to buy me a food processor! The last time I was making pie crust I remembered that she said to let her know what I wanted. So, I did. Sure, I can make it by hand, but a food processor will be handy in so many ways. My housemate may feel otherwise when we have yet another item to fit into the kitchen, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there. For now, I’m looking forward to easy pie crusts and chopped vegetables.
I’m making bread with the kid I babysit today. I’m working late, so we’ll have plenty of time for letting it rise. In fact, I should get ready. It’s almost time to go!
we use a national panasonic food processor and this seems to be a bang for the buck,`:
