Am I actually starting to enjoy cooking? Maybe. This was by far a hit. DH took care of the grilling and I did this fantastic Spinach and Rich dish that I found on AllRecipes.com. It was fantastic. It tasted like the filling of spinach pie to me. Totally delicious. This one is a keeper. I’m [...]

I made this yummy veggie quesadilla’s tonight and it’s a total hit. I used a pat of butter instead of the spray. My pans are anti-spray. However, I did spray the quesadilla’s before I put them in the oven. I left out the corn and added in black beans instead. I also added in a [...]

Our tour of the kitchen continues with more simple cooking. Last night we had our chicken with amogio. My friend Julie mentioned she’s seen it as Ammogghiu sauce. I have to tell you I’ve had to Google the spelling myself as we don’t even say it with a prominent A. When I am at home [...]

Things were going just fine until around 3pm or so, when I found Tobey under the bed hiding. When I went to touch him, he screamed in agony. Knowing that this is probably a flare up of his FLUTD, I made a snap decision to rush him to the vet. When I got to the [...]

Nothing new around here. I’ve just been working on my Baudelaire socks. I’m on the second cuff. Yeah! I can see the finish line now on these. Finally we had a nice sunny and warm day around here. Of course warm is relative. It was 40-degrees, but when you’ve had single digits for quite a [...]

We’re having a little party this week with the knitting group. It’s a Winter Celebration. We’re doing a [...]

So I think DH is in football withdrawal because the kitchen has been hopping this weekend. He’s tried two dinners and it’s been two hits. Both recipes are from Cooks Illustrated. First up was a delicious Texas Chili. Next up was Pasta with Butternut Squash and Sage. This is the sauce as it was cooking. [...]

Well I think this is the first sunny Saturday Sky of the year. To top it off it was puppy salon day. Yeah! Everyone went and now they had their supper. I expect them to crash any minute with full tummies. While they were out at the groomer I cleaned the house and both DH [...]

So some of the earlier dishcloths I’ve made are looking quite ragged, so I had to whip up a couple new ones. I tried out a simple pattern found on Ravelry and I really like it. It’s make a nice and squishy dish rag. It’s a freebie found on Twisted Loops Blog. Also had delicious [...]

Take 3.5 pounds of washed soft dark black/grey Romney – or at least what appears to be Romney. Unfortunately I can’t remember even buying this fleece, lot alone washing it. Add 1 pound of yummy super soft red Suri alpaca and get 4.5 pounds of the sofest, prettiest, most delicious fiber you can stand. I [...]
