ambitious: quince paste & baking

i thought i could do it all. i was wrong.
i thought i could multitask through some real quince paste (membrillo) not just the cooked down quince and sugar i usually cook up and freeze. no, i was going for the real thing so i could serve it tomorrow with manchego at the party. and, i also thought i could make spiced chocolate chip squash bread (since i am going to be busy most of the day tomorrow). this is what i actually did:
-ambled to city center to buy myself a scale, and honey, and other ingredients.
-chatter away while slicing and dicing the quince.
-eat a delicious dinner with my housemates who cooked.
-cook down the quince, mill it and mix with sugar. i stirred for an hour...but it hardly got darker and i got tired. so i put it in the crock pot and we'll see what happens over night.
-put squash in oven and milled it.
not bad...but not everything either. tomorrow with be a busy day...but i like busy days. especially when they end with me on the sofa hanging out with friends (ooooh, new and old friends) and eating fun food while playing board games and watch dogs do silly things.
(um, portland...wanna come visit on saturday? i miss you at times like these).
time for bed! it's raining out. the windows are open the the sound of rain is wafting in gently.
adios!
