Blogathon Debrief
So I’m a bit of a perfectionist. And the speed and sleep deprivation that accompanies blogging every half hour for 24 hours straight does not lend itself to perfection. So there are some things from my Blogathon – things I couldn’t remember in the haste of blogathoning – that I feel the need to rectify.
Re: All The Books I Currently Have Out of The Library
- I’ve finished reading ((by which I mean “listening to”)) Eat that Frog: 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time by Brian Tracy and The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell and now I’ve gotten Blink, also by Malcolm Gladwell
- I totally thought I was on the waiting list for Getting Things Done by David Allen as an e-audiobook, but I just went to check where on the waiting list I am and it appears that not only am I not on the waiting list, but the library doesn’t even have this as an e-audiobook. I’ll have to go to the library to pick up the CD audiobook ((how archaic!)). I’ll chalk this one up to Blogathon delirium!
- Can’t belive I forgot to mention President’s Choice fake “chicken” breasts with French fries (if I’m feeling industrious, I’ll cut up potatoes, cover in olive oil, rosemary & fresh ground black pepper and oven bake; if I’m feeling lazy, it’s frozen Safeway fries, oven baked) and a veg (maybe steamed asparagus or broccoli or corn-on-the-cob)
- Also, veggie tacos!! Yves veggie ground round with onions/green peppers/zucchini/mushrooms & taco seasoning mix in a tortilla with tomatoes, green onions, fresh cilantro, avocado, yogurt and cheese. Or sometimes I’ll use refried beans instead of the ground round mix.
Re: Stuff Cookbooks Have Taught Me
- The cookbook that Shalu et al got me for my birthday is called Cooking with Kurma. The other cookbook that Shalu gave me was The Higher Taste: A Guide to Gourmet Vegetarian Cooking and a Karma-Free Diet.
- The cookbook where the chef says to put herbs and spices in until you are sure it’s too much and then put some more (which I neglected to mention was a gift from my sister), is called Byron’s New Home Cooking: 100 Recipes for Busy Cooks With Demanding Palates.
- I can’t *believe* I forgot to mention my Linda McCartney cookbook! Linda McCartney’s World of Vegetarian Cooking – a gift I received from my friend Kaede – rocks my world.
- Tod has just introduced me to the best plugin ever! WP-Footnotes automates the whole footnoting process even better than the AddQuicktag that I’d set up. And you know how much I loves me some footnotes ((a lot!)). Maybe now I’ll be able to write a blog posting with 101 footnotes in it before my 1001 days are up!

Dude, you totally forgot the link to WP-Footnotes. Thus making my lazy request to get the plugin all the much harder.
🙂
I think you mean “archaic,” not “archaiac.”
I feel all right pointing this out since you're talking about perfectionism. 😛
Oh yes, and “birthday.”
With respect to WP-Footnotes, can you increase the font size of the footnote text? It's a bit small.
I have no idea what you are talking about. They are totally spelled correctly and always, always were.
Funny thing is, I spell checked that entry because I *knew* that I'd spelled “archaic” wrong, but there were so many things underlined in red because of all the non-real words in this entry that I missed it. D'oh!
No idea. I think it's the same size as I've always made my footnotes, but don't have time to check into it right now – have to head into work. I'll check later.
Just to restate: cilantro is the devil.
