It's like Christmas all over again!

I added a bunch of new friends over the past couple days. I'd like to extend a warm welcome to everyone.

Today I worked a little more on my yukata page, adding a section with more details on how to alter the basic pattern to make a man's yukata.

I would also like to mention that the extra basket on my bike makes it *loads* easier to carry my groceries back from the store. I don't have to dangle the bags precariously from my handlebars anymore.

Today I succumbed to temptation and bought a food mill. I want to make some things like curry paste that simply don't work in my blender. They cling to the sides and refuse to mix. So I thought maybe a mill would work better. As soon as I brought it home, I decided to make some walnut/strawberry cupcakes to take into work tomorrow. The recipe called for chopped walnuts, so I thought I'd try the mill out. I poured in the walnut halves.

It made walnut butter in three seconds flat. That is one powerful machine. Ah, how I love my appliances.

Tomorrow is my first day of work after winter break. I don't have any classes though. After tomorrow there's a three-day weekend, and classes actually start next Tuesday.

It sounds great. I'll bet it would make great popcorn salt, too. We usually make it in the blender with regular salt, but this sounds as though it might be better for it.

That's one of the things I want to try. I have to get another salt shaker first, though.
