I neglected to mention a week or so ago that Roy and I
did make the conclusion of our January DNI: Nutella
Semifreddo with Toasted Hazelnuts. I didn’t take any pictures, but here’s
one off the internet.
Happy to report that even though my photography skills aren’t
up to the snuff of food bloggery, it looked just like that. It tasted fine, but
I struggled with the raw egg. (Three of them, whipped right in and frozen.) Put
consuming raw egg right up there next to deep-frying in my Queue of
Squeamishness.
On the upswing, the entire recipe would have been
impossible without Mr. Yellow. So that purchase is now 100% justified.

I’ve been reading loads. Pleased to say I finished
another two books before the conclusion of January…
9/50: Call The
Midwife: Farewell to the East End. A bit more palatable and humorous than
the second Call the Midwife book. Still gritty and challenging though. Glad I
read the trilogy, but mostly in the same way one is glad one’s watched Schindler’s List.
10/50: The Silkworm.
Galbraith (Pen name of J.K. Rowling) writes for grownups here. I liked this one
better than the first Cormoran Strike novel, but there’s still a lot of
language and adult content. Granted, it was mostly pinned on the “bad guys”,
but still. The purity of Harry far preferred.
Guys, I read ten books in one month! I’m so pumped to be
off to a head start, because I don’t doubt there will be months in 2016 when I
read almost nothing. If you have any awesome book recommendations feel free to comment below. Yay!
Today’s 1%: I
grocery shopped for February. By myself.
It was amazing and glorious and organized and quiet. And cheap. If you don’t
shop at Aldi, aren’t a farmer, and there is one nearby I’m afraid you are probably
wasting money.
