I did not make much progress in February other than donating to WRPI.

Recipes I have tried

Instead of cluttering up my completed list, I am posting links to the tried recipes here!  I would not recommend all of them as some were not very good.  See my comments:

1. Crock-pot pizza casserole - This was pretty terrible and I have to say I was really disappointed.
2. Yummy Slice-And-Bake Cookies - These were pretty good.  I would advise popping the dough in the freezer while the oven preheats so it is easier to slice.  Also be advised that they do spread out a lot as you can see from the picture.
3. Butternut Squash and Gruyere Crostini - These are delicious!
4. Chicken Tikka Masala - As you can see I am a big fan of PioneerWoman.  I liked her before she was on TV!  This recipe is very good and tastes "correct" as in it does not taste like PioneerWoman has put her own spin or trademark on it.
5. Lemon Chicken Noodle Soup - Good, easy, soup-y
6. Pasta Fagioli - This is tasty!  I would use more tomatoes next time, also the grocery store I went to did not have pancetta so I left it out and it was still good.  I have never had Pasta Fagioli before but Brian says the pancetta is optional and that this recipe is less saucy than usual but still accurate.
7. Slow Cooker Thai Chicken Soup - This came out weird.  It was edible but had an unpleasant texture.  I would not recommend it.
8. Pea Soup with Pasta and Parmesan - Great if you like peas!  I used orzo for the pasta and it came out well.  I also substituted turkey broth because it's what I had from Thanksgiving but I am sure chicken or vegetable would be good as well.
9. Buffalo Chicken Garbage Bread - This is a lot like a calzone.  Brian enjoyed it and so did I.  It's not a diet food but you'd be an idiot to think that.
10. Crockpot Chicken Korma - This is quite delicious!  I think next time I will use chicken breasts instead of thighs because they are both healthier and easier to work with but it was very good.  The yogurt really makes it.

January Recap

Not Started: 49
In Progress: 25
Completed: 26

Days left: 811ish

Didn't accomplish much in January, I'm super busy lately but I did for the most part keep up with my photoblog which should be up to date by the end of this week.  I also am allllmoooossstttt done with the 10 recipes and with one of the crochet blankets.
I'm not really super excited about this whole deal anymore.  It doesn't really help that I'm kind of just sitting here doing it on my own.  Nobody reads this and nobody comments and nobody cares so it does feel kind of stupid sometimes but I suppose that is a kind of lesson in itself.

December Year-End Recap

Not Started: 50
In Progress: 25
Completed: 25
Missing: 1

Days remaining: 842
Days passed: 159

(if anyone wants to find the missing one, go ahead)


December was a good month, I accomplished several of my goals.  As it stands I have about 1/4 of my goals completed which is pretty great considering I'm only slightly more than 15% of the way into my time period.  Another 1/4 of my goals are in progress, some are well on their way to completion.
As is the popular fad, I am planning to go on a new year's diet/fitness thingy so I'm looking forward to my stretching, pull-ups and push-ups goals making significant progress in 2014.  My 365 photoblog has been going strong since its revival a few months ago and I look forward to its completion in 2014.  I think I will try to continue it past the "end."  In 2014 I hope to accomplish many more goals, I think this list is easier (and more successful) than New Year's resolutions.

I invite all of you to make your own lists!  Perhaps when I complete this list I will make a 365 in 365.  What are your thoughts?

Tie dye rainbow cake

Today I learned why you are only supposed to fill cake pans halfway...
This qualifies for rainbow cake but not for pretty.

Bunny Mansion

My dad was pretty intent on making it a square. I was pretty intent on making it big enough. Should have stuck with 2ft x 3ft. 30in square is plenty big but guess what is smaller than 30in... (a door frame)

The rabbit loves it though.
