So I have seriously neglected my blog over the past few months. I have thought about writing posts, but I just haven’t gotten around to it. So what have I been doing?
Reading—I’m on my 19th book of the year! I’m reading The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver right now and really enjoying it.
Cooking—Attempting bread bowls for soup (anyone know a good recipe?), making spur of the moment shrimp curries, creating new soups (roasted green pepper, onion, zucchini/courgette and lentil soup anyone?), and meatloaf!
Exercising—Not so much, but I’m getting back into the swing of things. It’s starting to get lighter and warmer (45/50F and 10C instead of closer to 32F/0C), so the thought of taking walks and wandering around is much more appealing. I’ve also started doing some more workout videos of circuit training, which I like (Jillian Michael’s No More Trouble Zones and Crunch Workout Super SlimDown Pilates and Yoga Blend with Ellen Barrett).
Souper Time–American Idol and now America’s Next Top Model have started, so every Thursday or Friday we have friends over to watch and eat homemade soup and bread. We aren’t really in it for the shows; it’s more the company and the joint hilarity that ensues from good company and silly shows.
Music—I’ve been using Spotify, which is apparently similar to Pandora? Anyway I’ve made some playlists with people I’ve discovered like Ingrid Michaelson and Missy Higgins, but there’s also been some old school Ciara (Goodies, anyone?), Razorlight, and Kenny Chesney…etc.
And that’s about it. So I’m now going back to my book!
Your meatloaf recipe is delicious and I would like to attempt it sometime.
