Ok, so I wasn't able to try 31 new recipes in 31 days, I only made it to 26. Sure, had I made some less complicated choices, I could have reached my goal, but everyone needs empanadas every once in a while.
At this point, I'm sick to death of my kitchen and, now that it's November, I'm making the Hubster cook dinner tonight (he's making fajitas).
All in all, though, I think the Project was a success. Having a deadline kept me from procrastinating. I'm having less difficulty with my writing, at both personal and professional levels. I managed not to buy any new cookbooks. And, let's not forget, I've tried some delicious new recipes, some of which (I'm lookin' at you Pineapple Cashew Quinoa) will make it into the regular rotation.
I've decided to continue Project October, less the ridiculous deadline (who has time to try a new recipe a day? Probably people who don't watch television). I've sifted through all of my cookbooks and have marked those recipes that I haven't yet made that I'd like to try. When all of the tabs on the pages in the above picture are gone, then I'll permit myself to buy some new cookbooks. This will take discipline and willpower, two things I'm not exactly known for. I'll post my success (and failure) here.
As for November, I've got a whole new project in the works, but more on that tomorrow. Until then, feast your eyes on my little Wolverine, and enjoy your leftover Halloween candy!
