Sad book

Sad sad book. The Friday Night Knitting Club. And I passed up a quilting novel to buy this. My book buying dollars are not spend willynilly either. Like EVER! LOL I had time on my hands at a long running over appointment the other day. Gave in and bought a book. We are library people thank you very much! Penny is my personal shopper library lady. Scoping out the books I found this one. Started reading...not bad, got more involved in it... Then I told Penny about my purchase. Her reply, you are not going to like the way it ends. She knows me, cause I hated it! I will not spoil it for you, but #1. Have tissues at hand. #2. Plan on staying up all night to finish it. #3 Be on the waiting list for the sequel.

I am making yogurt cheese. Will let you know how it turns out. I have chives in the garden I plan on adding, so this batch will be a savory spread. Penny turned me onto it because I have been talking about wanting a yogurt maker and the things you can do with it. I am using the Stonyfield plain low fat yogurt. After only 2 hours, I have emptied about a cup of liquid whey from the bottom bowl. More than I thought. I am thinking it will really be yummy and much MUCH lower in fats than my beloved cream cheese. sigh

ps: And I hate March Madness. Just makes me mad! Knocks out my Survivor.

I ordered this book from amazon and it arrived today. Last night I read reviews of it on Ravelry, almost everyone was disappointed in it or worse. Since I've already bought it, I intend to read it, and probably begin this weekend. I'll let you know how I like/dislike it. I read on Ravelry basically how it ends so I'm prepared for that. Oh how I hope I like it, in spite of all the negative things I've read. So many times I have read reviews telling me how wonderful a book or movie is and then when I read/see it I'm totally disappointed because I didn't like it after all. So I suppose it's all a matter of taste.

You are right about the tissues and staying up to finish it. I miss my Survivor this week. Don't forget that it is on Wed next week.

LOL! Last night I thought, "Gee, I wonder what Ange is doing when Survivor is not on!"

Your post cracked me up. You should've bought a quilting book! Bad, bad stories! Your yogurt cheese grossed me out. LOL I don't have to explain, right? And I'm unaffected by no survivor but feel sorry for you. Just put in some old movies. That's what I do when there's poopy stuff on tv.
