Almost weekly!

Just a bit late, but I had been having trouble accessing this site. It seems to be blocked by the government. I can now post, however.

I am also planning to take a few courses online at a CA community college while I'm here, and in the Fall. Current plan is Accounting I (if I can get into it), and Business Law. If possible I want also to take personal finance. I already have one of my books, which is exciting.

I also found a bread recipe that I really like at http://theitaliandishblog.com/imported-20090913150324/2010/2/26/amazing-artisan-bread-for-40-cents-a-loaf-no-kneading-no-fus.html I have been looking (rather half-heartedly) for a recipe for the 5 minute bread online and was only recently successful. It worked out very well, and required almost no effort or time. 3 minutes to mix stuff in a bowl, ignore it for a while, put it in the fridge, grab a chunk and make a ball, ignore it a while, bake it, let it cool and eat. I look forawrd in the future to add additional bits like dried fruit t o it also.

I now understand how to make kvass, but I haven't gotten around to doing it yet. I never seem to have enough water on hand, though I did just recently find a suitable container.

I think that's about it. The wind is very strong, and the weather a bit chilly, but othwerwise things are fine. I have shashlik and beer with friends from time to time, have three classes tomorrow, and a camp starting next sunday, as well as the sunday after. Then I'm back here for two weeks, before two more camps, then in the city for all of august.

Toodles. I'll try and update again once I have info on my classes, but I may not be able to post from camp. Next monday is first day of class, but it will be tuesday for me, I think.
