I can't show you my knits in progress right now as one is a pile of pieces and will be much more interesting when it is put together and the other is a sample knit in a new yarn. I can show you some of the DIY things I have tried over the weekend.We finally… Continue reading Assorted DIY

Look at what I’ve done!
I'm still a bit obsessed and scattered over the same projects as the last post, but I've got some photos and updates, yay!First, those pretzels? A bit of work, but in the end, totally worth it. To improve on them they need more salt - I salted them, but didn't press the salt down into… Continue reading Look at what I’ve done!
Pantry Eating Idea
I've got this challenge on my mind. There's a lot of careful consideration going in to my grocery-shopping-list for this week - there are some good meat sales that will allow me to stock up, a bunch of coupon inserts and online, and I've got my new cookbooks. But wouldn't you know it - a… Continue reading Pantry Eating Idea
Crossing off that List (still checking it twice)
Yesterday was my mom's birthday, so we had my parents over for dinner. Works out well for us - the Lorax is in her own space, I've got some go-to / reliable recipes, and my mom gets treated 
I had made a pair of Holiday Mice, a Fuzzy Mitten pattern. They were relatively quick,… Continue reading Crossing off that List (still checking it twice)
Foodie
I think we're at a new stage with Lorelai. Twice in the last week she has expressed a little interest in helping me to cook in the kitchen. Maybe it is the novelty of standing on a stool and being able to see what goes on above her head. Maybe she is curious. Maybe it… Continue reading Foodie
Food. HFCS. Corn. Sigh. (no knitting)
I've been thinking a lot about food lately. I usually think about food in a "OMG, I love food" sort of way, but as I've read some things and watched others I get to thinking a bit more. Some random and probably rambling thoughts on food. I recently watched King Corn - it was good,… Continue reading Food. HFCS. Corn. Sigh. (no knitting)
Well, there’s that.
Yesterday we were dumped on with snow. No big deal for me - I can work from home. And this is what happens here - we always get snow in March. One year (1997 I think) we had a blizzard on April 1! I did have to take the Lorax to a check-up and lucky… Continue reading Well, there’s that.
Food Stuff – Jars
In avoiding housework and Google-work for the moment I was catching up on several blogs. I came across these links, and now I sense a food-in-a-jar might be attempted this weekend or early next week.... It's a way to use my mason jars out of season! I'll have to find where Lorelai has taken the… Continue reading Food Stuff – Jars
Food stuff – Pork Chops
There's a cookbook in my family that I think every female member owns. (There aren't that many males, but I know my uncle has the cookbook as well.) It is known only as "the book". It's been around forever, it seems. Way back, my dad was a resident at Overlook Hospital in Summit, NJ. The… Continue reading Food stuff – Pork Chops
On the Move
Last night Lorelai started walking! We can get her to walk between us - maybe 5 - 6 steps - it's just incredible to watch her figure out her balance and such. I think she likes the falling part too. She's such an imp! Feeding is now more of an issue - I know I… Continue reading On the Move
