I was the same way. So many recommendations for Of Mice and Men and The Grapes of Wrath kept me from reading.

I'm glad I allowed myself to be influenced to read this work. So far it's a wonderful read. It's very descriptive and the analysis of the characters, I think, is good.

Wow, that is a long time! I'm hoping I get through it a bit faster. I have more I want to read. :)

I'll look into the movie too. Thanks!

I am and to make matters even better(imo) it's raining!

I have a feeling by the end of it I will too.

This is my first book from Steinbeck and I have the opposite opinion on his writing.

I'm really enjoy it. There's just been too many events happening that haven't allowed me the peace of mind to sit and read.

It's been weeks since I began reading East of Eden by John Steinbeck and I've been seriously slacking on reading this book.

I've decided to sit down and knock out 150 pages today. Wish me luck!

It was more like I would pick up the pieces and shove them back in the sandwich as I ate it!

That's awesome!

I'll try chicken next time!

The first time I made it at home it felt difficult but it's really not too bad. Thank you and your welcome!

Haha I decided on more filling than bread to try and keep it a little healthier.

[–] fujiwood@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

That sounds awesome.

I have a feeling I would do the same if I had a place so close. The closest banh mi near me is a 45 minute drive so I basically have to make it myself if I want it.

 

I made everything but the bread. It was delicious! I could have taken a better photo but I was hungry!

This is the recipe I used.

Here is an easy way to keep track of Project 2025.

"About this tracker

Project 2025 Tracker began as a humble spreadsheet created by /u/rusticgorilla, combined with /u/mollynaquafina's vision for making this information accessible to everyone through a dedicated website.

What started as a passion project by two Redditors has grown into a community-driven resource, powered by people like you who believe in the importance of transparent, detailed analysis."

 

These are from a brownie mix.

I did add 1/4 tsp sea salt, a pinch of instant yeast, 1/2 tsp instant coffee, 1/4 cup of chopped pecans and ~2 oz of chopped dark and milk chocolate.

It came out great!

I've been wanting to make 100 Hour Brownies but I'll test them at 24 hours for the next mix.

I felt like making something other than Bacon and Eggs for breakfast and realized I had a pie crust in the freezer.

I didn't have cream, cheese or onion so instead added some melted butter, onion and garlic powder.

Place eggs, salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne, onion and garlic powder in a blender to mix. Cut the bacon into squares and add to the blended eggs along with the melted butter.

Dock and blind bake the pie crust and then added the egg and bacon mix. Baked until done at 325 f.

I’ve made multiple versions of Quiche Lorraine and honestly this isn't’ too far off.

It's free(except for the books unless you use Public Domain book) and just something fun to do.

Here is two sources for free Ebooks.

It's been a while since I've grown anything. With everything that's happening in the world I decided to restart doing things for myself.

It's a little late in the season so let's see what actually grows. Enjoy!

 

I'll only eat three of these and save the rest as snacks for other days. I'm currently losing weight so this is just an easy way to curb my appetite.

Fill a pot with water, add salt and bring to a boil. Add eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Remove eggs from pot and place in cold water until cool. Peel and eat with prefered seasoning. Enjoy!

Just some chicken thighs cooked in a cast iron skillet.

Seasoning is herbs, salt, pepper, onion and garlic powder, paprika and cayenne.
