Five Senses Friday and Whole-Wheat Irish Soda Bread
7:19 PM
7:19 PM
Seeing: Just put down my copy of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls that I bought today, another Jane Austen horror-spoof meant to be the prequel to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Having read Ms. Austen before, I must admit that I find these spin-offs to be very entertaining.
Hearing: The oven beeping, telling me it’s time to rotate my Irish soda bread, and a little girl down the street practicing her flute on the front porch. It would be cute if I hadn’t already listened to it five days in a row.
Tasting: Dried dates that I'm snacking on.
Smelling: Aforementioned bread baking away.
Feeling: Comfy; it’s not even dark and I’m already in my pajamas, ready to hunker down for the night and watch The Picture of Dorian Gray.

Five Senses Friday
10:35 PM

Taking cue from Abby Powell-Thompson over at Abby Try Again and Sarah McColl at Pink of Perfection, I've decided to play along and post my own current sensibilities. As Abby so nicely sums up for us, Five Senses Friday was created to "...use it weekly as way to sit down and reflect on what the past days have been like for me." So that this blog doesn't seem limited to cooking, I think this is a fun way to mix things up and hopefully inspire others to sit and ponder their surroundings.
I expect my comrades [AHEM!] to post their own sometime soon. It doesn't have to be a Friday-only thing; we can bastardize the title into whatever we want it to be, so ladies, start posting!
Seeing: Currently watching -- in between typing this, of course -- the 1988 documentary "Let's Get Lost" about American jazz artist Chet Baker.
Hearing: Joyce Night Tucker being interviewed over the soft crooning of Mr. Baker.
Tasting: Chocolate yogurt snack cakes, my own mixing of which will be up sometime soon.
Smelling: Awake™ tea by Tazo. Is it strange that I should be drinking a tea blend entitled 'awake' before I plan on going to sleep?
Feeling: Congested and achy, but warm and content to be swaddled in my plaid wool blanket and watching a rather mellow documentary.
Good night, my dears!
Love, Cristina
