Last week I took the leap and put other projects on hold so I could concentrate more on this one–how has that worked after one week?

  • I scripted another chapter of the comic story–I know, after pulling teeth the last go ’round I was just able to sit down and plow through it! Hoping to do the same this week!
  • Began the task of organizing my notes and the pieces of random paper with different recipes onto note cards to be worked into the filing system I started at the beginning of the project and promptly abandoned. Best laid plans and all that, right? Still, it does work when I use it (as systems are prone to do) and I’m using it more so it’s helping more.
  • Tested a few more recipes (and more to be tested this week). It’s really getting down to the odds and ends as far as recipes go so once this weekend and some this week I’ll be throwing appetizers into the dinner mix just to get those tested, too.

Here’s the photo evidence:

And another week’s worth ahead! I was supposed to be making salmon sticks (grown up fish sticks!) and 3-cheese macaroni and cheese tonight but I’m feeling a tad under par so will put that off ’til tomorrow, when I’ll actually enjoy the cooking and the eating so much better.

Until next time!
