Pasta dinner 🍝

Pasta dinner 🍝

I often make pasta for dinner, loaded up with broccoli 🥦 and corn 🌽. I try to make it fairly healthy but I totally add too much cheese 🧀 and then when the pot is done 🍲 I end up making just a little bit too much and then getting overstuffed when I’m done. 🤮 Moreover, pasta ain’t real filling 😳 so I eat too much food and get over stuffed.

I haven’t been doing enough reading lately

I haven’t been doing enough reading lately. It’s so easy to waste time in the evenings now with my unlimited phone plan and the Youtube, but I have ordered some books from the library for reading in the coming weeks:

Some books about local history and the Pine Bush (I am particularly interested in Paul Grodahl’s book for interviewing more of John Wolcott):

  • Mayor Erastus Corning : Albany icon, Albany enigma / [by Paul Grondahl].
  • Pine Bush : Albany’s last frontier / compiled and edited by Don Rittner.

Some homesteading/farming books:

  • Living with goats : everything you need to know to raise your own backyard herd / Margaret Hathaway ; photographs by Karl Schatz.
  • Storey’s illustrated breed guide to sheep, goats, cattle, and pigs / Carol Ekarius.

Been doing a lot of reading about large livestock, so I figure it’s good to learn now about smaller stock.

Now just to wait for these books to come in stock, and not forget about them while I wait. But once they are available, it’s just drive-thru at the library.
