Recipe Book

This afternoon I had a few recipes I wanted to have in one place.

I cast around for an empty notebook, and for once, I DIDN'T HAVE ONE!

What's a girl to do!?

MAKE ONE!

SO, a few magazines, some paper, and a pizza box became this!

Perrymort

I came across this on Facebook and felt the need to share. I just think it captures my feelings about things too well.

Panini

Delicious panini I made the other day for me and my dad after a morning hauling Christmas trees over here at Braintree Balsams:

Neighborly Farms Garlic Cheddar

Hummus

Spinach

Oatmeal bread from Manghi's Bread

Words cannot describe this deliciousness!

Video: "The High Price of Materialism"

By a Knox professor!

Homemade Hankie!

In the interest of a sustainably-minded but oft-runny nose,

today I whipped up this little handkerchief!

I found this little bit in a scrap pack I had picked up from Nido last year.

A few pressed seams and a short stint on the sewing machine, and voila!

Goaty The Travelling Goat Part 11: Home

After a long journey over thousands of miles/kilometers,

Goaty is home with his family

And so am I!

The end is near!

Sorry for my general silence on the blogwaves of late, but I only have a few precious days left in Australia! I'm in beautiful Lennox Head for the last few days, reunited with my program-mates after we each had an adventurous independent study period! We had all our presentations on Saturday and Sunday, and I am SO impressed with everyone's work. We had people hiking, painting, writing, photographing, researching, and interning all over Australia. Really inspiring to hear (and see) all the results.

Of course it was really tragic to leave Melbourne. Will miss all the amazing people I met there, especially Tegan, Lara, and everyone over at Ink & Spindle who gave so much time and effort into my experience there!

Overall, feeling the love. Sad to leave, but no regrets, and starting to positively anticipate a return to the snowy mountains of Vermont and then to the prairies of good ole Illinois, where a Republican representative has proposed Chicago become the 51st state. More on that later, I'm off to enjoy myself :)
