Here we go again

agoodmusekickinThe year in which I make lists, check them twice, and actually try to accomplish.
Oh yeah, it's one of those kinds of posts.
Hold on tight.
I don't create enough stuff, so I'm determined to spend the year focusing on ONE new thing a month.
Each month a new project to try and focus on...and if I'm successful, not suck too much at.
Here's the list thus far:
January: I am going to complete my 1100 piece Statue of Liberty Mini-block kit.
February: Is cheese month. I have a make-your-own cheese kit, and I'm going to try and make some cheese. Possibly yogurt.
March: Nutter Butters. I have a recipe, and mustache cookie cutters, neither of which have seen the light of day. That day is coming in March.
April: I think I'm going to teach myself how to suture. I'll be picking up a free cycled practice kit, and we'll see what happens.
This is about as far as I've gotten, so expect this to be updated...because I know years don't end in April.

That is an excellent plan. I like more goals, but I did start creating one-day, one-month, and seasonal goals because I got frustrated with only year-long ones.

You might check health food stores to see if they have the less-pasteurized kind of milk. It doesn't last as long -- only about a week -- but it tends to work better in historic recipes. Once you cook milk at high temperature, as most commercial milk is, then it doesn't behave the same anymore and in recipes like cheese and yogurt, that can lead to a lot of frustration.

Hee! Cookies are awesome.
