With each passing semester, my graduation draws closer. I've come to appreciate how few spring breaks I have left. That would be two, to be specific. Now I don't have the money to take a fabulous vacation to some exotic beach, but that's not the only way to spend a spring break.
Au contraire, not every college student is programmed to seek sex and alcohol at every chance he or she gets. No, I plan to make the most of my spring break doing the things I want to do.
I'm not a compulsive list maker or anything, but this is what's coming up in the world of Running Fish.
1. Cooking Marathon!
I've got my eye on a couple of recipes from my Pioneer Woman cookbook I got for Christmas. I also added an Irish Pub cookbook to my repertoire recently care of a Barnes and Noble St. Patrick's Day themed display. I couldn't resist the delicious looking recipes it contained.
This week I plan to make a couple of recipes from these books and, of course, chronicle them in the Closet Cook section.
2. Vegetable Garden!
Last season I tried my hand at gardening, container gardening that is, and loved it. This year I have come into a forlorn corner garden that has seen better days, and I have many plans. As much as I wish I could start my seedlings, alas I cannot. I can, however, get the garden prepared.
This week I plan to work through my sad little garden and, as it's on a slight hill, tier it into segments for optimal vegetable planting.
3. Compost box!
This is just one more nail in my geek coffin, I suppose. I've had lumber waiting to become a compost box since last fall. It will become one this next week.
4. Amiga Time!
This is the best part of my week! There will be much amiga time!
5. Writing!
I haven't done a whole lot of personal writing in a while. I have quite a few stories and their characters who've been relegated to the extended history space on my hard drive, probably wondering if they'll ever see daylight again. I plan on bringing them out for a bit this week.
Happy Spring!
