forestofgloryI got a real letter in the mail today! I love getting mail more then is perhaps reasonable so that made me happy.
It has been very sunny and warm here. I'm still not adjusted to back to the lack of winter.
The number of books I am reading at once seems to be growing. I find this somewhat alarming. I am currently reading 4 books. One fiction (just at the moment Nova by Samuel R Delany); One general non-fiction (Strawberry Fields by Miriam J. Wells); One book with R. (Leviathan by Scott Westerfeld); and one Jewish Non-fiction which only gets read on Saturdays, as part of my making up for not having got any official (Jewish education Jewish Eating and Identity Through the Ages by David Kraemer).
Which reminds me, yesterday was Tu B'Shevat (the new year of trees) and I tried out a new recipe to celebrate. It is from the french Jewish cook book I got my mother for Xmas. It is bread/cake thing full of dried fruit. I thought it tasted nice, but it was a bit doughy in the middle even though I baked it longer then the recipe said. I wish there was a good fool prof way of telling when bread is baked through.
