Day 43 - Leftovers, Leftovers and More Leftovers

Apparently one's Christmas dinner need not have been huge and elaborate for one to have tons of leftovers for days after. This is a good thing.

Breakfast was a sliced pear with a chunk of gingerbread cake and a little cream. Lunch was leftover squash mixed and reheated with leftover pasta and a few pecans. Very tasty. Dinner was the rest of the pozole and leftover bread-machine bread. Three excellent meals. Nothing new was made except the vinaigrette for the green salad with dinner.

I'm thinking that I'll push to finish my TAOS project by the end of 2010. Obviously I won't cook every day. Just as obviously, I'm going to go astray and cook from other source material. But if I stay on track, I ought to be able to conquer those remaining 279 recipes by 12/31/10, don't you think? That's like 3/4s of a recipe a day. Three recipes every four days. Five or 6 every week. How tough can that be? Guess we'll find out.

In Unpacking Land, I unpacked a goodly portion of my weaving yarn today. What got unpacked is now living in one of my Ikea counter cabinets. Yeah! And I unpacked some of my Barbie collection. Hey! It's never too late to have a happy childhood!

And, we went to see another movie. George Clooney's _Up In The Air_. I thought it was funny. Randy thought it was depressing. Clearly a movie that will be interpreted differently by men and women, in my opinion. Clooney is one heck of an actor. He communicates more with his facial expressions than most actors can with an entire Shakespearian script.

That's it for today! Tomorrow I'm shooting for parsnips!
