Almost Triangles and Fringes
The starting point was Triangles and fringes scarf by Irina Poludnenko. (Her designs are just stunning, BTW. I mean, seriously, look at this.) I modified it, mostly because I’m making it out of only one skein of Noro Silk Garden. My sister Linda and I took a trip a few summers ago to North Carolina, to visit her daughter (my niece […]
Make Ahead…er, Thursday
So it’s part this and part this, and smells incredibly good! I’ll make Foodie With Family’s polenta (from the same post as the meatballs) and some garlic bread later. And the delicious hearts of palm & artichoke hearts salad my sister made, if she gets back to me with the recipe before dinner. (Life is sometimes full of […]
I cleaned out the fridge
…and that’s the recycling that’s left. You understand, there were also plastic storage containers and glass jars that went into the dishwasher (and, curiously, a plastic bag half full of cooked noodles). I realized a few things: I should actually finish the Heluva Good dip before I buy more. I shouldn’t buy cream cheese nearly […]
Hockey post with a side of ADD
Point #1: Sometimes it’s helpful to see things from the other side. I’m now following Paul Stewart on Twitter, and he offers some insight into what’s going on with the officials on the ice. We love to hate them (and they sometimes really have it coming). Sometimes they make us laugh. Mike Leggo is beloved […]
Holidays
I started to post this on Facebook, as a comment on a friend’s post, but realized it was going to be too long. She said, “I’m always bemused by those few who think that this time of year has always been and should only be about the celebration of their personal savior’s birth — those […]
Sorry for the long silence
Sorry to be away so long. I actually had posts for those last few days of November, but we were visiting my family in San Antonio, and I was having too much fun to take time to post. Right now we’re in the middle of Icegeddon, the second time in a few years that the […]
Just one more day
This is the second time I’ve written this. If Blogger (or Safari or my ancient iPad, whichever is responsible) loses it this time, this is just going to be a blank page. I’m afraid today I’m still focused on my funny, entertaining family. After spending the day with them, I’m still gratified and very thankful […]
26th Day of Thanksgiving
…or T-minus just 2and counting. Today I’m thankful for these people: …well, I never could get them all grouped together to take a photo. Take my word for it, they’re lovely, and a warm, witty bunch. I’ll try again tomorrow.
25th Day of Thanksgiving
T-minus 3 and counting! How did Thanksgiving get so close? Where was I? Today I’m thankful for…you know, this is kind of hard. Not that I don’t have a great plenty to be thankful for, it’s just kind of hard to find a completely different thing every day for 28 days. When I start writing […]
24th Day of Thanksgiving
I’m thankful that I get to be with family and friends on Thanksgiving. (And that Lydia & Jake will be taking care of our house and all our babies.) Yeah, it’s going to be short and sweet ’til I have a minute. Sorry!
