Since it's still the holiday season, I only have time for a quick rundown of what I've been up to. More interesting (hopefully) posts to come after it gets a little less crazy.
#3. Book club ended for the year on November 30, and I have two months until the next meeting, so I thought it would be a good time to get into Anna Karenina. I'm only about 75 pages in so far, but I'm enjoying it a lot, and I'm actually a little surprised at how accessible it is. I'll post a full review when I'm finished.
#10. I've been a little thrown off in my workout schedule lately, which is frustrating because it really helps to keep me sane. But I'm signed up for another 5K on Sunday (pray that the rain and snow hold off!) and I'm determined that 2011 will be the year of the half marathon. I have a couple possibilities for May, and some back-ups for the fall, so it's definitely going to happen. (On this one, you should keep asking me about it. It'll keep me honest. (o: )
#11. I've made two (very delicious) batches of cookies lately. For November book club I made the Giant Ginger Spice Cookies:
The photo doesn't do them justice. They might have been my favorites so far out of this book so far. And this weekend, just because I needed to get out of a funk and baking seemed like a good way to do it, I made Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies. I overcooked them a little (my family refers to this as Rachel's Cajun-style cooking), but they're still tasty.
I plan to do some more baking this week and next weekend, but probably out of Joanne Chang's Flour cookbook. Her gingerbread with coffee glaze sounds amazing. Plus I did an event at the store with her this week, and she was one of the nicest, most amazing people I've met in a while, so any chance I have to be more like her is well worth it!
More soon, but in the meantime, happy holidays!
