43 projects last year and only at 24 this year?
Lots of gnomes, goodly amount of gifts. More process/KALs? But some super happy making sweaters (ilha, gridlines, 3 summer tops)
Dark Academia got most likes
Cortney loved: Monica’s Bay Area Yarn Crawl coverage, the Explicate Hat by Hunter Hammersen, Coloring Book Raglan by Aimeeshermakes, and Dark Academia sweater by River Road Knits.
Easel
Sheep butter mold from last year anni episode
Bird and pb
London one: big ben, fox, typewriter, pretzel, wine
Cortney is happy with these creations: last summer’s bird prize, annual Gouachevember, tiny typewriter for the SFPL tiny art show.
Table
Full veg! No kids!
Cortney noticed: how the podcast continues to ignite cooking projects, be they low-sodium, less meat, more mushrooms.
nightstand
125 books! +41 last year pre-anniversary
Audio, foreign, cant keep away from challenges
Sue grafton! Christmas/holiday books
Better idea what’s going to annoy me even if i cant keep away from it
Fresh water for flowers by Valerie Perrin
I cheerfully refuse by leif enger
Anita de Monte Laughs Last by Xochitl Gonzalez
Cortney finally figured out: her genre of choice! Environmenal/eco fiction!! Where the environment IS a character, or an important feature. Books like: The Light Pirate by Lucy Brooks-Dalton and I Cheerfully Refuse by Leif Enger.
Also, alway happy to read a well-written romance or witchy story.

Balsamic-Braised Red Cabbage with Apples by Dana Jacobi
Those tried & true chicken meatballs from Smitten Kitchen
Al’s Smoked Salmon, straight from the horse’s mouth:
“The recipe is simple. Brine: Half cup of hot water, fill with salt until you get ¾ cup. 4 tbsp each ground pepper and garlic powder. Brine for 4 hours minimum.
I put a little brown sugar on before smoking. Baste a couple times with maple syrup. 4 hours of smoke (with apple or cherry—no mesquite) or until internal temp reaches 140-150°F.
There is a website called amazingribs which is a nerdy smoker website mostly about gear, but they have posted a bunch of great smoking recipes.”
Thanks Al!
