Day Five: Food Update and Curtain Hanging....

First, a food update.
Yesterday's strawberry granita turned out AMAZING!  So delicious!  In the future I can definitely use even less sugar that I did yesterday.  Even without the sugar if you're strawberries are good it'd most likely still work and be even healthier!
Also, the whipped feta I made Friday?  Decided to see how it would do a few days later.  It still tasted delicious, but really wasn't spreadable.  After just a bit of olive oil and 30 seconds in the food processor it was good as new!  Yum yum yum.
Today's project was not as yummy as previous days.  I decided to use this pin to help hang curtains:

The idea is to use 3M hooks to hang curtain rods. Renting in NYC means moving a lot and not always being able to hammer things into the walls.  My ceilings are high and hanging official rods wouldn't have been worth the effort/money/time.  I didn't buy copper or silver ones, I just bought a box of 9 small white ones for about $6-7.  I got out the step ladder and the whole thing (4 hooks, two windows) took about 5 minutes and appear to be holding up well.

Not sure what the plan is for tomorrow, but Wednesday I have two friends coming over to make some Pinterest recipes and to try some arts and crafts with old t-shirts!
