It has been a strangely busy winter break. We saw a lot of family and checked in on an ailing coworker a couple times. I did a lot of cooking and Thomas did a lot of playing. It was a good time but I am more than ready to get back to work. It would be one thing if we'd had good weather, there is so much to get done out in the yard, but I'm not willing to get drenched to do it. I can hand working in a drizzle when the weather is warm, or in the cold when it is dry out, but I loath being both cold and wet at the same time.
I'm hoping for a good reset on the year with the new semester, but I somehow already feel behind. I guess that's just being a teacher. I need to come up with some stratified lesson plans for teaching the entire student body about plagiarism. Necessary stuff, but I'm not looking forward to it.
I finally finished my "Insane-o" indexing project on Bittman's How to Cook Everything Fast. Now I can start my "Insane-o" project to cook every recipe and variation in the book. Realistically, that's probably not going to happen but it's fun project to work on that gets me to try things that I would normally pass up. We've already tried a "Radish and Arugula Sandwich" which was actually quite nice even if very light. It's a recipe worth fiddling with.
