Book Meme, Day 21
Day 21 – Favorite book from your childhood
I had hoped to avoid duplication, but failed to look ahead when answering 'a book I've read more than 3 times' -- Watership Down by Richard Adams. Although since I didn't read it for the first time until I was 11, I could mention prior favourites, which were The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling from age 5 or 6, and White Fang by Jack London from age 7.

Upcoming Days
Day 22 – Favorite book you own
Day 23 – A book you wanted to read for a long time but still haven’t
Day 24 – A book that you wish more people would’ve read
Day 25 – A character who you can relate to the most
Day 26 – A book that changed your opinion about something
Day 27 – The most surprising plot twist or ending
Day 28 – Favorite title
Day 29 – A book everyone hated but you liked
Day 30 - Your favorite book of all time
I made a cobbler for the first time tonight (or rather, the first time by myself), with some windfall apples I found in the back garden. Every time I cook, I seem to manage to find novel ways to fuck it all up. In this case, I didn't realise until it had been in long enough to burn all the sugar in the topping that I'd accidentally set the oven to 'grill'. I sprinkled a new layer of water on it and switched it over to the 'fan oven' setting, but I'm not sure if it's rescuable even so. :-(

It actually turned out okay; the topping was not the greatest, but I did the fruit pretty well. Also in my defence, our stove does not have any labels on it. At all. So cooking things is a matter of remembering which position on which dial is which, or else consulting a little map we made and hung above it... which I suppose I should have consulted, rather than trusting my obviously faulty memory. *sigh*
