Just me, my dog and a few chickens. And of course my gardens to tend! Ah yes the hermits life at last ... good luck these next few months Dan. I plan on increasing my knowledge of particle physics and tensor calculus during the winter. Increase my knowledge of biology and gardening in the summer. This will be all self taught at my own pace. you play billiards? i love it like this too, i'm finally learning guitar and how to read music and all that music theory. it sinks in slowly, i have a wood head, but i am on my third year of fumbling along and i make mostly agreeable noises so i'm allowed to continue. this reminds me of what it used to be like when i was a kid. go outside and play all day, mess around in the mud and water, read 2 brown paper grocery bags every few weeks. etc. I am more of the scientific type than the artistic type. Ahhh the good life begins, I now have time to this yay! Oh yes, Cooking will be year round. I find I like the culinary textbooks more enjoyable over the regular recipe cook books. Cook's Illustrated is good like that, check it out at the library. also there are several good science of cooking type books that are interesting in their own right along with microbiology books that get into things like spoiling, molds, cheese making, fermentations, pickling, acetic acid, etc. all very interesting to those who are into the biological processes going on all over the place. did i say anything about canning and preserving? many good works there too. I do record the TV shows to "Cook's Country Kitchen", "Primal Grill", "Good Eats", "Simply Ming", Mexican One Plate" along with "Garden by the Yard", "P. Allen Smith", "Victory Garden" and "Cultivating Life". I have been recording these show for 5 years. Eleven hours of shows each week on a single DVD. I watch them during my lunch break on my laptop at work. I have hundreds of these disk in a single shoebox. I rarely watch TV at home. Now I can go through them and try out more of the meals at a slower pace. My latest Purchased books on food a Home Cheese Making: Recipes for 75 Delicious Cheeses, ISBN-10: 1580174647 and The Home Creamery: ISBN-10: 1603420312 Since I now have a calf named Bess. It will be another year before I get into making my own dairy products. I like this book allot, local store, an out of print book called,: Cookwise: The Secrets of Cooking Revealed*, ISBN: 978-0-688-10229-6 by Shirley O Corriher. This is a book on the science of cooking. my tough line of reading list for the winter is going to be a chemistry/ organic chemistry review... i had chemistry in high school, but didn't need it for college so now i need to backtrack and pick it up again. I had three courses in Chemistry. Chemistry is a memory game that I never did well. I like the worlds of Computers, Physics and Math which are rule based games. Those areas of study have fewer rules to remember. Just learn the different ways to manipulate the rules. -- Enjoy Life... Dan Garden in Zone 5 South East Michigan. |
