I have hit the beginning of a potentially a nasty reading slump. I haven't read more than a picture book in a week. I spend my time in the waiting room searching Pinterest because I can't focus on a book. I have been spending naptime decluttering my house. I have such first world problems.

I know this slump. Have gone into it numerous times in 2014. beating it now though.
So if you do find you can't maintain interest in books there is a light at the end of the tunnel. It comes back. :)

Must be nice to be back at work, Mark?

Did none of those interviews pan out?

[Mark]

None of them Terri. Had one today which may lead to some casual work.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Sorry to hear. It's their loss. Hope this one does happen for you.

Oh, no - I didn't realize - It was just a quick trip

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

*tumbleweeds*

Wow where is everybody? Super quiet in here today. :) Are you all at work or snowed in without internet...or the one I hope for the most...that you are all buried up to your ears in a good book!

Lol...was wondering that as well. Usually when I check in around this time I have 20 plus notifications. Today there are 6.

I am catching up with my reading from the mini vacation :)

Now, I've got to catch up with the reveiws.

Oh, well that is good to hear. Go read some more. :)

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Hi Kimber,
Yeah, that was the same with me. Only four threads that had red 'new' on them. I should go catch up on my reading too. I don't think I am going to finish Heartstone before March 1. Which is when I want to start Plague Land.

So I better try and get as much read as I can before I pause it.

[Gretchen]

The twinkers have me running all day. I started a new workout routine which has me in too much pain to type. Why is their pain required for gain? Again, I have such first world problems.

[Dawn]

Damn you guys talk a lot. I was only gone three weeks!!

I am back home now and it will take me a couple days to catch up.
Morocco was an experience, Spain was beautiful, Portugal was awesome and London is starting to feel like home. You have no idea how excited I was to get to the M&S at Gatwick and have a tea kettle in the hotel!!!

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Oh how exciting!! You're back!! Can't wait to hear all about it and see some of your favourite photos.

Glad you and sis made it home safe and sound. :)

[Dawn]

So nice to be home.
I will be sifting through the photos this weekend and I'll post the best ones to FB!

Woo hoo!!! 14/15... and the one I missed, I still don't see it.

[Darcy]

I wish I could treat a cold or other like malaise in the way they do with demons on shows like Supernatural. Find a suitable vessel (human you've no real attachment to), befriend them momentarily and when they're in the midst of a full-blown belly laugh, release the beast - it leaves through your mouth and enters the other's.
This one has been housed in me far too long...

[Jane]

Release the genie from the bottle, so to speak, eh? :)

[Darcy]

Indeed!

I don't get the new recommendation system (the ones that appear in your news feed, not the tab). If I rated a book one or two stars, chances are I don't really want to read another book like it. I like the Amazon option where you can select not to get recommendations based off something you didn't like.

[Dawn]

I just turned off those recommendations. I have better luck with friends and groups personally.

[Jane]

Dawn wrote: "I just turned off those recommendations. I have better luck with friends and groups personally."

Ditto!!

The recommendations on the right--top and bottom--are weird enough sometimes and often have nothing to do with one's book title referred to. Also, I wonder if they just have a running loop or recommendations [which could be anything] and just keep repeating it.
I haven't suppressed them because sometimes I might find a good suggestion.

I have just found out that the American dish, Fried Chicken Steak, is not actually a chicken dish.....

Thankyou Pioneer Woman cooking series for that moment of enlightenment.

[Gretchen]

I love Pioneer Woman.

What about buffalo wings?

What ..."

Chicken fried steak is steak that has been breaded and fried like chicken. Buffalo wings are chicken wings that supposedly originated in the town of Buffalo, New York.
Even if that was sarcasm I hope it helps :D

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Yeah, Buffalo Wings were always confusing to me too. :)

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

haha. Many have fallen for the buffalo wing trap. Don't you worry. :D

[Ace]

Terri wrote: "haha. Many have fallen for the buffalo wing trap. Don't you worry. :D"

I'm eager to look up the chicken steak now. I'll let you know if it cooks up ok.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Yes, let me know how you go.

Alton Brown of Good Eats/Cooking Channel fame is on tour and stopped in Salt Lake last Friday. Good show, and he is funny!

Made a gallon of chocolate ice cream in 10 seconds using a CO2 fire extinguisher and some 10 gallon water bottles as well as baking two pepperoni pizza's in his own up sized easy bake oven that he supposedly designed in 8th grade, in 3 1/2 minutes - didn't get any samples, our seats were way up in the nose bleed section :)

Well, it does help me. So there's no chicken in Chicken Fried Steak. Curioser and curioser.

[Simona]

I have just realized that Cotoletta alla Milanese (and Wienerschnitzel!) IS Chicken Fried Steak.
The foundations of my culinary world have been shaken.
I'd better lie down.

[Terri, Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Over here, this Chicken Fried Steak dish is commonly known as just Crumbed Steak.
