Another step to finish my cookbook

Another step to finish my cookbook

It’s already Tuesday and I am a day late. Désolée ! I promised a winner for the Around Fog Linen catalog. And I am happy to announce that Dawn McBeth is the one with the lucky number. Thank you Dawn, I will be sending you the catalog tomorrow.

This week is also one amongst many that requires my full attention. So you’ll have to excuse the lack of chit chat. And recipes. I have my cookbook manuscript to finish, the pictures to organize and prepare for print–and I am feeling fairly rushed with life, to say the least. But I am *so* looking forward to finally see my cookbook take shape. To see my recipes on paper, with colors and a design. To have the book be given a life outside my home. It will be published and available next Spring.

This morning, while I was chatting with a friend and I told her that I felt quite exhausted, “I am not surprised,” she said. “Your book,” she went on, “it’s like you are giving birth again!”

Obviously, it’s not exactly the same kind–we know that. But it’s definitely a life event that took its course over numerous months, growing slowly and steadily, step by step, day after day. And today, I am really keen to feel the final product between my hands.

Merci! Thank you for being here. For coming back, no matter what. Next to the love and support I receive from P. (who is well fed, under all circumstances, as he likes to tell me when I ask that he goes grocery shopping at odd times of the day) and Lulu–who took her very first steps this weekend–you are making this book happen!

Here’s a snapshot of what’s going to be the feel you’ll find inside my book.

Is it best to shop with cash, credit or debit?

Is it best to shop with cash, credit or debit?

How should you pay for goods and services? You might think that it doesn’t matter whether you choose cash, credit or debit, since it’s all money anyway. That’s not exactly true, and you could get burned if you’re not careful.

Green coffee bean haul

Green coffee bean haul

I just picked up 70lbs. of green coffee beans that I’m splitting with a friend of mine. Sadly, a friend of a friend’s roasting business just went bust, so they had quite a supply of beans to sell off at bargain prices. Normally, I pay about $6 per lb. for beans, I got these for $1.50 per lb.

It’s going to be fun roasting them over the coming year. Left alone they should keep for a year, and I can get another 6 mo. to a year out of them if I bag and freeze them.

Beetlebum about Arduino

I was checking the statistics on the server this morning, when I discovered a couple of hundreds hits coming from a German illustrator (Johannes Kretzschmar) that posts his comics about technology in the form of a blog. Take a look at the one for today … one image sometimes counts more than 1000 words.
