Example draft formatting

Here's an example of how you could show the changes you make to your chapters.

First Draft:
This is a new chapter. This is something that is not written well. Original content. This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph.

Second Draft:
This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph. This is a new chapter. This is something that is not written well. This is some new information (change it to a new color). Original content. This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph.


(notice that re-arranging sentences is the same as deleting and adding. You need to do this to let a person know that it changed.)


Third Draft: (if needed)
This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph. This is a chapter the second sentence of this paragraph. This is some new information (change it to a new color). Original content. Something else that is new.


Final draft:

This is something that should be at the beginning of the paragraph. This is a chapter. Original content. Something else that is new.

Summary

When you delete a word, sentence, or paragraph use the strikethrough format option (the ABC button)

When you add a word, sentence, or paragraph use a new color. Make sure it's a dark color but not too close to black. This color is too light. This color is too dark.

Falafel is King.

Last Thursday I decided to do what I had never done before: conquer the falafel. And it turned out to a) take much longer than I thought it would, and b) be really, really fun; I just felt super cool. 

I forgot to take a picture of the dough until it was almost gone...

Post-fry

The Nine, minus a couple, plus a couple

I used, with a little alteration, some kid named Shane's recipe from allrecipes.com.

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 egg
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground coriander
1 teaspoon salt
1 dash pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup dry bread crumbs (Patricia's note: I had to add a LOT more crumbs, plus some flour to get it thick enough)
oil for frying

1 (6 ounce) container plain yogurt
1/2 cucumber - peeled, seeded, and finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (Patricia's note: I usually use sour cream, but alas! mine was bad.)
Directions

In a large bowl mash chickpeas until thick and pasty; don't use a blender, as the consistency will be too thin. In a blender, process onion, parsley and garlic until smooth. Stir into mashed chickpeas.

In a small bowl combine egg, cumin, coriander, salt, pepper, cayenne, lemon juice and baking powder.

Stir into chickpea mixture along with olive oil. Slowly add bread crumbs until mixture is not sticky but will hold together; add more or less bread crumbs, as needed. Form 8 balls and then flatten into patties.
Heat 1 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry patties in hot oil until brown on both sides.

In a small bowl combine yogurt, cucumber, dill, salt, pepper and mayonnaise. Chill for at least 30 minutes.

Hummus

For my hummus, the recipe varies each time I make it. Combine in a blender, a can (15 oz) of chickpeas, 2 tbls of olive oil, 2 tbls of tahini (you can buy a big thing of it at Whole Food's), a lot of lemon juice (like 1/2 a cup), and then whatever flavors you want. I usually add some onions, roasted red peppers, and basil if I have them. Sometimes some cayenne peppers if I'm feeling risky.
