May 2014 Goals Update

-
We are slowly easing into summer time temperatures around here. It was 80° (27° C) on Monday, then cooled back off, and only a high of 56° (13°) yesterday. I've started checking the forecast in California too (three more weeks!), and wow, San Diego has some of the most consistent weather I've ever seen:

 Nothing new to cross off this month, but all's well. We are still working steadily on our savings goal and finding a book to read together (Beedle the Bard didn't pan out). 

 This month wasn't anything special in the solo reading department either. I only read 4 books, partially because we started watched Modern Family, and partially because nothing really grabbed me. Everything was just okay.
 I'm ready for June!

    I finished no books! Quelle horreur!! Stupid I know but I'm not letting myself start the books I really want to read until I finish the book I started ages ago. End result: no reading. What's the book with the two women on the cover? I can't read the title.

    I love the excitement of pre-travel! Looking up the weather and sites to see and randomly doing Google maps street view!

    I think finishing your degree really is one that needs to be in lights. For most people that would be enough for a year! So well done you!

      Silly me! Just found the title via side link. I'm not on Goodreads. Have you seen the movie? I enjoyed the movie but haven't read the book.

      Glad you found it! I saw the movie about 2 years ago, and I prefer that version. The book dragged on in some places, which I don't remember about the movie.

      I've been there! I had a rough patch last year with 2 really awful books I wanted to finish before reading anything else. Bleh.

      I'm so excited for our trip! It was hard to imagine it back in January, but now that we're super close I'm really looking forward to it.

      And thank you for the kind words about my degree! I think we'll celebrate again in July when my diploma arrives :)

    I'm enjoying seeing all your books on Good Reads!

    50 books in a year is such a huge goal (on top of other big goals.) You are well on track though - well done!

    3 weeks til California - I'm excited for you! I've always wanted to go to California. I can't wait to see it vicariously through the blog!

      Thank you Fiona! 50 books seems to be my Goldilocks number - enough to push me to make reading a priority, but not so high that I feel stressed. :)

      I'm very excited for California and I'm sure there will be lots of posts about it! I hope you do the same when you visit Europe - I'd love to travel there someday!

Good-bye April, Hello May!

April's finished . . so it's time for a goal update. Read an old book: I read The Little Prince and Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats . And several other "older" books are still on my hold list at the library. It was a nice change of pace to read something in which there's no mention of the internet, cell phones, or television. Take 200 photos: This was certainly made easier by the fact that my husband came home   (I think he needs a blog nickname, haha) and I live with two adorable cats.  Read 168 Hours:  Bleh. This review nails it. Craft something: Craft something, indeed. My mom and I made a quilt for my husband (at least 90% were her efforts). I'll be sharing more in a separate post! My goals for May? I'm taking a break and keeping it simple: GO OUTSIDE. This time of year is some of my favorite weather (not too hot, not too cold, medium amounts of rain and breeze, the air is filled with lovely smells). I adore it every year and...

Yummy Vegetarian Dumpling Soup

Soup is one of my favorite foods (alongside rice) and such a versatile food that I never get sick of it. So I'm always on the look out for new soup recipes or ideas. (One I'm not sure I have the gumption to try -  cold soup . Have you had it?) Enter this Chickpeas & Dumplings soup  by Kiersten.  my small first helping - it smelled strongly of thyme and I wasn't sure I'd like it! It's the vegetarian version of Chicken & Dumplings soup, one of my top 5 favorites. We had almost all the ingredients on hand, so I made this the day she posted it. It was amazing! Even Mr. G, who was pretty certain he didn't like dumplings, loved this soup. The first picture is when I had just dropped in the dumplings. Second picture is 20 minutes of simmering later. So cool! I made a few small changes to the recipe: left out the chickpeas because we didn't have any in the pantry (thought about substituting edamame in their place, but the soup was hear...

Vegetarian Version of Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup

I love Olive Garden's Chicken Gnocchi Soup.  Love, love love!  In the past, I would gladly eat two bowls of it, about 5 breadsticks, and take my whole meal home!  But I've had to skip it since becoming vegetarian and that sucks.  So I found a copycat recipe online , and tweaked it to make it vegetarian.  (I am so grateful for copycat sites!) Surprisingly enough (not), the original recipe calls for chicken ... I added boiled potatoes to take their place.  You could probably cook the potatoes right in the soup - just make sure to add them early enough that they finish cooking before everything else goes soft.  That might be too much potato in one soup for some people (is that even possible?).  :)  You could bump up the amounts of the gnocchi or other veggies in the recipe, or add corn, bell peppers, or soy "chicken" if the extra potatoes don't float your boat. Any other ideas for taking the place of the chicken? Start by chopp...
