Cook something No. 7, 8, 9

I made a cherry glazed pork tenderloin the other night with a cherry sauce. It turned out great and it was devoured - no leftovers!

My own idea - cooked chicken in the crockpot all day and then mixed in taco seasoning and shredded the meat for tacos/burritos. It turned out pretty good. It shredded really fine so that was a little unexpected. But it was still very yummy!

I made this yummy jalepeno cheese dip bread bowl last night! So easy and so yummy! I didn't think making a bread bowl was so easy - I'm already trying to come up with recipes of my own to put in bread bowls. The dip recipe was pretty easy too - about 6 ingredients!

Discard the photography and travel magazine piles after keeping needed articles.


In the middle of my major declutter frenzy that I've been in during the last few weeks - I decided to get rid of all of my magazine piles - which include National Geographic, NG Traveler, Outdoor Photographer, and Popular Photography.

All gone!! I love that feeling!


Book #10

Arranging and Describing Archives and Manuscripts by Kathleen Roe

Very simple and straightforward stuff - very repetitive to other things that I've read.
