Finish Line

On Monday night I completed this project for work, which was the last part of a much larger project I was hoping to wrap up before the end of the year. Since I did that with four days to spare it feels very good.

I've been working about eight to ten hours a day since early October on the last three projects I've done for work. What helped my productivity was splitting up my sessions to early mornings and early evenings rather than trying to do it all in one go. I discovered that I was able to get more done every day, and I didn't feel as pressured. I was also able to stick to my work plan 95% of the time.

It's still been kind of a haul, as I've only taken two days off work (Thanksgiving and Christmas) since early October. I'm happy with the results, and now I'll be able to take a week off before I start on the next project.

Basically everyone bakes a set amount of their favorite cookies, and these are exchanged at the gathering by lottery, sharing a little from each batch with everyone, or however you want to do it.

I like to make hanging pomanders , which smell heavenly and are biodegradable after the holidays. Mug Rugs: If you sew, making up a set of mug rugs is simple and easy; I add these every year to my ...

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
