So I basically gave up juice . . . but can't stop myself from buying apple cider?! How is this logical???? (And yes, I am obviously aware that cider is delicious.)

I've also been *gasp* cooking lately. And not just baking! (Though, granted, it's mostly baking.) I'm trying to make at least one new (as in, never made by me) recipe a week. Pinterest has proven quite helpful.

So far:

Baked hard-boiled eggs (using a muffin tin)
Chocolate chip cookies (new recipe)
Roasted zucchini
Steak (new recipe)
Sugar cookies (mostly not made by me :( )
Spiced apple cookies
Crispy chicken bake (I've made this once, ten years ago, so it does not count)
Brown sugar cookies (with chocolate chips)

. . . I really want to make a pie again, with a crust and everything, but it's SO TIME CONSUMING. Swedish apple pie is much faster and also yummy with a crumble top . . . BUT NOT THE SAME.

Am hopefully going to make a doctored box mix cake today and do something with those green beans in the fridge before they go bad. >__>;;

Also, I'm trying to read my A Fifteenth Century Cookry Boke that I got used at the Friends of the Berkeley Library Bookstore (missing the dust jacket but the cover has a gilded imprint of a Cockatrice and the pictures are fabulous) but it is SLOW GOING, OMG. Don't know that I will make anything from the book, but I will gamely try to read it . . . .
