Randomness

(1) The Jung Seed catalog arrived in the mail today. It is such a beautiful catalog...I ogled it for 30 minutes after I tucked the girls into bed. The prettiest flowers and the most beautiful vegetables ever! Every year I mentally write out an extensive botanical wish list upon receiving the Jung catalog...but I never order, as I tend to kill green things.

(2) My Everyday Food January/ February issue arrived in the mail as well. The recipes are inspiring to my menu planning lists like always, but even more exciting was an advertisement for PBS. Masterpiece Theater is presenting all six of Jane Austen's novels starting January 13th. Check it out!!! Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy!!! I could re-watch that version of Pride and Prejudice a million times and my heart would race every time during the carriage ride...

(3) I tried the No-Knead Bread recipe with 1/2 white and 1/2 wheat flour and it turned out great! I will gradually try adding more wheat flour and other yummies like wheat germ and millet and I will let you know the perfect recipe when I reach it.

(4) An update to wondering minds: Christopher and I are definitely leaning toward the homeschooling side of the fence. Claire's last day of Kindergarten will most likely be January 15th (which is the last day of first semester).

Our Jung catalog came today too. I haven't ogled mine yet. :-)

I thought Chris had convinced the headmistress to allow Lily in, even if she didn't do preschool. That must mean there are other struggles at the school too, huh?

I'm glad you found out about the ww flour in the bread, but I'm still not sure I'm patient enough to wait more than a day for bread. I have trouble enough thinking ahead to dinner, much less tomorrow's dinner. (How stupid is that? Like I think we're not going to need to eat tomorrow????)
