cooking and papers.

do not mix.

put the stockpot on, go upstairs, begin to write paper...

i do not have stock. i have... carbon.

whoops.

experiment

i had both extra apples and extra pie dough. but not enough to make another pie.

this was the result. half pie, half dumpling. i'm calling it an individual deep-dish apple galette.

he ate it already. by all accounts, it was yummy. the pie itself turned out pretty well, except i forgot to dust the apples with a little extra sugar.

a suggestion.

dear quaker oats,

2 words: caffeinated oatmeal.

thank you.

oikonomia.

laws of the household indeed.

the problem with working for a completely donation-supported organization is that donations are one of the things people cut when times get tough.

as of december 1st, i will be officially underemployed.

one could argue i've been underemployed for years, but a bachelor degree in classics isn't exactly the beginning of the most lucrative career path.

as of january 1st, i lose my health insurance.

we have options, including the seminary itself, but the time crunch is making it fairly stressful.

i guess the bright side is that i'll have 10 hours more a week to dedicate to homework.
