Cooking

Jan. 23: Made focaccia using the Caputo gluten free flour, and it was amazing.

Feb. 11: Made chicken stock with the scraps of a chicken I butchered and the ends of a bunch of vegetables in the fridge. Roughly followed this recipe but also sort of freehanded. Pretty happy with it.

Feb. 11: The chicken was for this braised chicken with salami and olives, which came out great. It's intense. Could've skipped salting the chicken and just let the olives and salami season the whole dish.

April 17: I made cassoulet for Easter and it was good.

May 15: Did Tony Maws' steak on a bavette steak. Excellent with green sauce.

Aug. 28: Bought a smoker (after going down a BBQ rabbit hole) and smoked a chicken. It was great (though I ran out of time and had to throw it on the grill for 10 minutes before the kids went crazy).

Sept. 4: Smoked two pork shoulders with a pot of beans underneath. Fed the neighbors.

Books

April 27: Finished Little Women at last, after almost half the year of inching through it. I enjoyed it.

May 25: I thought The Fallen Star would finish out this series of High Republic novels. Looks like there's at least one more.

July 14: The Lincoln Highway has some of the best writing I've seen in a while. Well worth the read.

Aug. 10: Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore is like a time capsule of the techno-utopia of 2012. Pure fun, even if the Google-worship hasn't aged as well.

Aug. 25: Peace, Love and Barbecue was good, broad look at barbecue told by Mike and Amy Mills. The stories are more interesting than the recipes. Ready to buy a smoker now.

Oct. 24: Finally read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Decided to keep going and read The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, too. Not sure if I'll plow ahead or take a break from Douglas Adams.

Dec. 26: Dove into The Silmarillion after watching Rings of Power. Happy to check that box.
