What were my Goals last year? Release my first ever attempt at Podfic Finish at least 3 of my 8 wips Write more femslash works Organize my TBR list Take it easy, and have fun writing! 

Did I complete my goals? All except organizing my TBR list, and I did not take it easy near the end of the year. I am now paying for it with a touch of burn out. 

2024 Writing Goals: Finish my Dronarry fest piece, Finish editing a Hermione x Remus podfic, do Peculiar Prompts, take a break from writing and fests, read more (still organize that TBR if I can!!) and rec fellow authors.

chapter six of six: completed fic! :-)

Chapter 6 As the year, the day, and the hour merge into one moment as they draw to a close, John and Sherlock have returned to 221B, re-aligning the stories they had set in motion earlier that day and that had been rewritten out from under them. Enveloped within the walls of the home they've created together, they ring in the new year, rearranging what has been, what is now, and what will be.

New Year's Eve-themed Sherlock Fic [wip]

The plot thickens :-) Chapter 2 brings us John's plans for his surprise for Sherlock. Sherlock's plans to surprise John are in Chapter 1. Each of them will be surprised, just not according to plan . . . The fic: Sherlock and John each set out to surprise the other on December 31st, inspired to give new meaning to the phrase "ringing in the new year." But what each had imagined would be a relatively straightforward event undergoes an unexpected reversal when their backs are turned -- and each ends up with a double surprise.

The first three phrases you generate are a hint towards how 2024 is going to go for you

i’ve been told it’s for health and for wealth in the coming year, but i didn’t grow up doing it, and didn’t know it was a thing until i started working for a grocery store in my teens!

Citronfromage!

Lemon mousse. You need at least 1 hour of working time for this. And 2 big bowls for whipping and something to pour it into prior to cooling for serving purposes.

Ingredients:

1/4 L Whipping cream

3 egg

100 g sugar

Zest and juice (and pulp) from 3 lemons

6 gelatin sheets

How to:

Wash hands and lemons

Zest and juice your lemons. Put pulp in your juice for more flavor

Wash hands again

Gelatin sheets go into a bowl with cold water one by one. Let soak

Whip egg and sugar to foam in bigger bowl. Set aside

Whip cream to soft peaks in a seperate bowl. Set aside

Find a small pot

Wash hands thoroughly again

Transfer gelatin sheets without water (just drip it off, don't squeeze) to pot.

Melt on low heat. Pro tip! Stir with your finger. If it burns your finger, it burns the gelatin.

When melted remove from heat and add half of your lemon juice to gelatin and keep stirring with your finger

Add zest and the last of the juice

Stir gelatin into egg foam with a soft spatula

Wash your hands and rinse your pot

1/3 of egg foam goes into the whipped cream and is stirred in

Whipped cream gets folded into the egg foam

Transfer to serving bowl or glasses and set in fridge for at least 2 hours. Bigger portions may need longer to set

Garnish with whipped cream and candied lemon peel and chopped pistacios. Or don't, I usually don't.

This way of warming gelatin and cooling it slowly ensures that it won't turn into gummies in your mousse. Same technique can be used for anything that requires gelatin sheets.

Candied lemon peel

1 lemon

I have never made these, but the site I've stolen it from (arla.dk) usually makes very good recipes

Ingredients:

85 g sugar

1 dL water

How to:

Peel your lemon, remove pith and cut thin strips

Boil sugar and water for 1-2 minutes, until it thickens

Add lemon peel and simmer 1 minute

Fish lemon peel out of sugar syrup with a spider spoon or chopsticks or tongs or fork and let drip off on a paper towel

Dry in oven on low heat
