No. 9 - Finish Novel

Its done.  

It only took me 3 years to write so I expect another 3 of editing and then another 2 of getting rejection letters from agents.  Follow that with a couple years under contract, edited, blah blah blah… 

So look for my novel on shelves circa 2020 - or not.  Probably not.  

—

As you can tell, I have no disillusions about the likelihood of getting my book published.  But I can at least count me among those who have completed a novel.  Saved on my hard drive, is a 374 page, 103,287 word novel.

Word.

No. 2 Learn to Cook and No. 4 Lose Weight - Dressing Up Acorn Squash Last night I attempted Acorn Squash with Gruyere Cheese.  As always, the recipe came from recipezaar.  Its the only website I use, and luckily you can filter recipes by nutirtion so this bad boy came in at only 277 calories.  Woohoo! The truth is, I’ve been planning to make this dish for a couple weeks, but I was sort of afraid of it.  The squash scared me.  It’s large and I wasn’t sure my knife would cut it and how the hell do you tell that something has baked long enough… blah, blah, blah.   My fears were totally stupid.  This was incredibly easy and totally yummy.  I had about a quarter each of an orange bell pepper and an onion and decided to saute those and mix them into the mixture.  I’m glad I did, I think it gave it more flavor.   All in all, I was very pleased with this dish and will make it again.  Not to mention, you are guaranteed leftovers for lunch the next day.  Nom, nom.

  • Me:

    He can afford it, plus I did it for the first 26 years of his life, he can pick out a bouquet all by himself.

    You're right, he'll have no idea what he's doing. I'll order them online.
