Holy crap, did you hear that Google Reader is shutting down?? I am in shock and terribly sad about it. The only only good news is that it will clear my RSS-feed slate, as I probably won’t export willy-nilly. But that sounds like a tremendously boring time-suck. (When I first lost an AOL email account back in the 90′s, I stopped saving addresses into my address book. And when I lost my first computer in the 00′s, I stopped keeping bookmarks on any of my browsers.)
I’m drowning my sorrows in beer bread, buttery buttery beer bread:
And while I had the oven on, and had already heated our little apartment beyond its capacity on a hot afternoon, I made Maple Olive Oil Granola as well to replenish our stock:
Seriously, this granola is the best thing ever: I often give it as a gift to friends, and they concur — they always ask me for the recipe.
This is my favorite kind of baking: mix all ingredients in one big bowl and put in oven.
The beer bread tastes like the honey biscuits from Church’s Fried Chicken. The new secret to baking: pour gobs of melted butter over anything before you stick it in the oven.
I have all sorts of other serious stuff I should be posting about instead (Service Design Jam and SXSWedu), but I sort of knew they would be procrasti-posts:
“…the blog tends to fall into two categories : 1) LOOK WHAT I DID and 2) HERE’S HOW I FEEL. the look what i did ones are the only ones that cause me panic when i put them on my to-do list and then don’t DO them.” ~Amanda Palmer
