New year projects

It's the new year, the time to clear out the old and get on with new projects.

This Christmas season, I got inspired to tackle my recipe box. Since I moved the recipes into this larger tin a couple of years ago, I hadn't got round to labelling the bigger cards, so had to delve down to find the old index cards in order to find a recipe. Made some slight adjustments too. Cheesecake now has its very own category.

Did the new address book too. It's amazing what changes with contacts in a dozen years. Sadly, I'd lost some relatives since the last book, which dated back to a trip to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, made with my then teenage daughter in 2003. Unlike its tattered predecessor, this one is clearly inscribed with up-to-date information. Thanks, Santa!
