February is the shortest month, but I haven’t slowed down on my yearly goals. Which is good, because you know I’ll slow down come summer, when I plan to spend all my time lying on the floor under a fan.
1. Cookbooks Cook Through: 46%
This month I made 10 recipes I’d marked. I’ve really gotten into making my own bread, so I’ve completed all the recipes I marked in my bread book this month! These cinnamon biscuits were probably my favorite:
They would be your fave too
If you’re curious, Steven is at 10% and has 194 more recipes to go.
2. 50 States of Reading: 37%
After a strong start, I only completed three states this month: Georgia, Florida, Alabama
I’ve been trying to put the dot where the story is actually set
Next stop: Tennessee
3. Read One Book a Month I Already Own: 17%
This month I read:
Uprooted by Naomi Novik
It had been on my TBR for a while when I saw a nice copy at a library book sale, so I got it and continued to not read it until right now. Why did I wait so long?? It was so great! Basically the emotional successor to Howl’s Moving Castle. Give me more books where practical, powerful women roll their eyes forever at drama-queen wizards, please.
4. Transcribe my grandmother’s diaries: 50%
This month I got through 1963-1970. Here is An Historic Day:
July 20, 1969. Sunday. Up late. Washed and cleaned–put up table and put things back in place. Man landed on moon tonight. Watched T.V. until 11:00PM.
Unimpressed, as always.
5. Take a Picture of everything I make: 100%
This has been the hardest one to remember to do. I’m hoping soon it will become a habit.
Total: 50%
