Total lack of anything interesting to report


Seriously. Might as well just move along now.

Total progress on anything in the last few weeks:

I made a pie (or three) from scratch:
I baked some wee little pumpkins:

I scraped them into the food processor:
pumpkin_scraped

I got completely distracted and took a random picture of pastry tips drying in the unused soap holder:

Pureed pumpkin glop, ready to have all the rest of the stuff added:

Pie number 1 in the oven. The filling is REALLY soupy at this point, so there’s also goo on the bottom of the oven, which will smell even nastier than pumpkin pie in about 20 minutes…

And, finally, the prettiest of the pies, all baked and ready for someone who isn’t me to eat.
PIE

Then I made a scarf. Crocheted it, no less. Expanding those horizons every chance I get:

And then, just to feel productive, I put all of the bulk spices in little jars instead of the nappy plastic bags most of them were in:

See? No progress.
