Goooooaaaaaaallllll(s).

I may not be killing it on the "publish something here 3 times/week" goal, but I am writing other important work-related things more than three times a week. For a job that is supposed to be heavily numbers-based, I am counting that as a win. But I will keep trying on Goal #1.

As mentioned, I did not care for my book group's January book. I ended up appreciating it more after the discussion, but I still don't like or recommend it.

February was my month to lead the discussion. (Yes, I declared Goal #2 knowing that I was already 1/3 of the way there. What of it?) It was a fun/interesting read and a fun discussion, especially because someone brought their friend who had been a stewardess back when they called them stewardesses, and boy, did she have some stories to tell. 

On Monday night, I finished the book for March - a heavy, somewhat meandering read. I can see why Wally Lamb endorsed it.

Goal #2 - check.

Last weekend I buckled down and rooted through the chest freezer for all the frozen tomatoes from 2022-2023. Turns out, there were only a handful of gallon freezer bags left - two that were already roasted and three that were frozen cherry tomatoes. (Yes, you can just freeze cherry tomatoes. They have to be used in sauces or stews, but they are totally freeze-able.)

So, I pulled out my favorite tomato soup recipe, roasted the cherry tomatoes, threw them in with the already roasted tomatoes and other ingredients, and in two hours we had grilled cheese with tomato soup, and about 5 cups of soup leftover to freeze.

Goal #3 - check.

And I still have a month to go. [Pats self on back.]
