I ended up baking yesterday. I had NO idea what to make! Soo many options, and also I wanted to make something of a certain level of complexity. I wanted to gain a new skill. I found just the right thing in a Turkish cookbook we have, and I hope to cook more out of that book now that I looked through it. They are like Turkish stuffed dumplings or ravioli. I had to make the dough, let it sit, roll it out (I didn't roll it out enough, it needs to be thinner still), then cut it into 2x2 squares. The recipe called for this beef filling, but I chose to make it out of cabbage. I was thinking of egg rolls, how they fill that with cabbage so I made sure to cut it up in really small pieces and I cooked it with onions, garlic, and oregano. I filled the squares and pulled the edges up and voila, the dough drop. I had to bake it then, of course. But it turned out well. Even my mom ate some!
That was my main lesson of the day. I also read about Zelda Fitzgerald for over an hour. I didn't read anything else or practice my accordion, which I intend to do in the near future. I went and socialized at 4pm for the rest of the night. Now I am going to work, then I am driving to Lansing to visit Bryan. I think I may stay at father's house during this week to work on sewing my dress. :)
