I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I wish I could have done a lot more reading than I did but part of it was spent on shopping and errands and I also spent a good bit of time making pies. I’m sure I’ve mentioned that I’m not a cook/baker. I barely know my way around the kitchen. I’m crafty but not when it comes to the kitchen, but I had to make these pies for work. Gah, I hope they are ok. Keep your fingers crossed for me will you!
On the reading from though I did finish a wonderful book which I’ll tell you more about soon but most of the reading I did was of the magazine kind. I caught up on the latest Bitch Magazine, Mental Floss, Mollie Makes Home, Mystery Scene Magazine and my favorite this time around Pages. I’m always so inspired by this magazine. Makes me want to submit my own work. Maybe next year!
Anyway, there are a few of books on bookbinding and journaling that are definitely on my wishlist after seeing them in the bookstore and in this magazine. They are: Book Play, Journal Your Way and Artist’s Journal Workshop. Maybe Santa is still watching!
So how about you, done any magazine reading lately and do you have one to recommend?
I hope the pies turned out okay!
I actually do OK in the kitchen, but I’m not good at pies. Specifically, I suck at crusts. I’ll cross my fingers that yours are tasty! I only get Food & Wine, and Entertainment Weekly. Even with only two mags, I have a hard time getting through them. It is nice though to just flip through, and be able to turn off your brain.
I’m so backed up on reading magazines. I always go for books first and use magazines for spare minutes here and there except lately there haven’t been any spare minutes. I am sure your pies will be delicious!
I am sure your pies are delicious! 🙂 It’s been ages since I sat down with one of my Pages magazines and read it more than a little here and there. I’ve given up on most magazines because I seemed to collect them more than read them. I do read Entertainment Weekly faithfully though. Especially the book and movie sections.
Kailana – They did! I am thrilled 🙂
Sandy – Yea, making the crust is no easy thing. I did a graham cracker crust which is supposed to be easy. Oh geesh, you should see the state of my kitchen after last night’s adventure. Haha…
Stefanie – I don’t subscribe to any magazines anymore because I would end up stockpiling them. Granted that seems to happen with books too! haha… The pies were a hit – so surprised 🙂
Literary Feline – I actually had people ask me for the recipes. I was floored! These were easy no bake, pudding pies but still for someone like me who is not a kitchen person this was a success. Ooh EW, I haven’t read that in ages – fun stuff!
