The sidequests for this past week were to make my bed, create a meal or snack using only the ingredients in my fridge and pantry, and watch a video of someone painting or creating something.

One of the times I cleaned the house, I opted for washing all the blankets in the house, including the bed’s blankets and sheets and pillowcases. Once they were all washed, the bed was nicely made. Doesn’t really last long, of couse.

I also really badly wanted cinnamon rolls. A few weeks ago I had decided to make some but unfortunately I must have killed the yeast, so it didn’t rise at all and they were inedible. I had one last packet of yeast though, and really wanted good cinnamon rolls, so I tried again this past week, and they came out as they more usually do – delicious. It was nice after the disappointing batch.

During the summer, a coworker of my boyfriend’s offloaded a whole bunch of paint supplies to us. It looked like she was really into the flow/spin art thing for awhile and has a lot of partially remaining bottles of acrylics and some floetrol left over. I’ve been watching the occasional video of those because it seems like it might be interesting to mess with a bit. We’ll see though.
