Cataloguing.

So, back in early October, I hit a bookstore--a very nice one in Niagara Falls called Fiction Addiction. 36 books for $32.49, which I realized was an error so we went back the next day and gave the owner $42 and change. And then I sort of got five more books for $32.02, which while a lot more reasonable is still quite a good deal, especially when one's a hardcover.

Complete list here.

I have discovered two things--that I am very fond of Goodreads to organize books, and that entering in books that are too old for ISBNs takes ages. Also that at least fourteen of the books I got don't seem to have a decent cover picture, so I will get to add them.

Morning success!

I made a mug cake for breakfast. Initially it was going to be a lemon mug cake, but we don't have lemon juice. And we don't have quite the right ingredients. So.

• 1 egg
  
• 4 tbsp of milk (3 of 1%, 1 of 10% cream)
  
• 3 tbsp of canola oil
  
• 4 tbsp of sugar (3 of white, 1 of brown)
  
• 1/4 tsp of synthetic vanilla extract
  
• 4 tbsp flour
  
• 1 tsp of baking powder

Also a fork, measuring spoons, and a biggish coffee cup.

1. Crack the egg into the coffee mug and mix it with a fork.


2. Mix in the milk, oil, sugar, and vanilla.


3. Mix in the flour and baking powder (which I actually did at the same time as the last step but you probably shouldn't).


4. Microwave for three minutes on high. I paused it at two minutes to check on it and take a look, so I will add "do not be alarmed if the cake is two inches above the top of the mug and rising."

And... well, it's a bit oily (I think using butter instead of canola might help with that) and rather heavy/dense towards the bottom. Still. Cake for breakfast--warm cake--with three minutes of prep time and nearly no dishes, yay.

Thanks to snakey for tossing me the initial link.
