December Already?

Well the loft is coming together slowly. The kitchen is entirely set up, quelle surprise, save for a new microwave and Cuisinart. Maybe Santa will be good. Made some scones for a neighbor's brunch and how lovely it was to just flour the marble counter and roll out the dough. No rolling cloth or pastry board necessary. Cheddar chive, Christmas eggnog, and gingerbread; the middle recipe I created by using a buttermilk scone recipe and substituting eggnog, then adding candied orange and citron peel as well as a variety of seasonal spices (nutmeg, ginger, cloves, allspice).

The floors are starting to look more clean, less dusty, though with almost all of the building construction nearly finished the dust should stop generating so thickly. Three windows leaked during the first pouring rain, two of them over outlets -- heh, the landlord will definitely have to work on those. And why the heck won't this damn T1 line work? I can see my router, but I can't seem to get out onto the Internet.

Buying a new bedframe too, since Ikea has two choices I like for sale this week. One is a wrought-iron type of frame but in a pewter type finish, the other is a white wooden country cottage style. Need to see which will work with the futons.

More to come when I get time, and a better Internet connection!
