kaberettCulinary skills acquired:
Miscellaneous other skills acquired:
- whetstone use (after a fashion)
- baby's first marmalade
- Kardemummebullar
- cheese-making! (paneer; an ambition for the next year is mozzarella)
- pasta (gosh but wrangling the machine is An Adventure)
- macarons (via the magic of Italian meringue)
Miscellaneous other skills acquired:
- finished the Duolingo Turkish tree
- seriously levelled up in hair-dying skills (including managing a pretty good rendition of this general principle on a friend with a hair type I hadn't previously bleached or dyed, but I'm also pretty pleased with a peacock-shades oil slick, and Adam's current rainbow gradient from roots to ends)
- submitted baby's first first-author paper, with Significant General Academic Progress, particularly with respect to Having Boundaries
- acquired a physio/exercise regime that works for me (and then promptly let it lapse, but having acquired the principles I can come back to them)
- substantially levelled up in technical writing on a reasonable and sustainable schedule
- so. much. emotional. regulation.

Date: 2018-01-02 08:46 pm (UTC)have you ever tried to make mascarpone before? that's a super-easy "cheese" that's fun to make.
finding Exercise That Works is so good, omg. that's what weightlifting has been for me; I want to be more consistent about it but to the extent that I am not, that's purely because of logistical issues and not any actual aversion to doing it.
Duolingo got me started learning Chinese, recently :D though I've since found other resources to supplement; it leaves an awful lot implied or unsaid.
wishing you an excellent 2018 <3
