chocolatepotI made bulgar wheat with mushrooms and feta for lunch this week from the Ottolenghi Simple cookbook Mom gave me for Christmas. It turned out very well (with some bok choy on the side) and I'm pleased! Need to go through the book in more detail and pick out some more recipes!
Reading The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine, and I generally like it! It's a retelling of the Twelve Dancing Princesses set in NYC in the 1920s. My main issue is that I can't quite get the timeline straight in my head - when did they start going out, how long have they been doing it? It feels like the implication is that they've been going to speakeasies since before Prohibition, but maybe I'm misunderstanding. The father's behavior also seems ... insanely awful but it feels like the intent is just "stuffy and old-fashionedly misogynistic".
Rewatching My Mother and Other Strangers lately and it makes me want to knit so many cardigans. Why are the cardigans on this show so perfect.
Did a tarot reading for the new year on the 31st and I got Death for January. 👀👀👀 I officially don't believe in tarot BUT that is exactly the card one would want if one had a big job interview coming up, yeah?
Executive function not great. I sat down and wrote a list of the exact steps needed to finish the wool skirt but I should have started with "bring a dress with good pockets downstairs" and "use pockets to make paper pocket pattern" at the beginning because I'm stuck there!
