Life, Love and the Pursuit of Knitting

January 31, 2012

I’m having fun with this second afghan. I’m actually knitting this one much faster than my first one.  The more I follow a pattern, the easier it becomes.  I’m learning to anticipate more, which is kind of neat. I have been trying to spend less time on the computer lately – having big knitting projects [...]

Beef Stew with Bacon, Onion and Sweet Potatoes

January 30, 2012

So the big question after I wrote this post was, “Can you ever put too much bacon in something?” In all honesty, this stew was phenomenal – but I think the bacon flavors did overpower the other flavors in the stew.  So I am going to post the recipe the way I should have made [...]

Afghan #2

January 25, 2012

I had dinner with a friend tonight and we shared this for dessert: Oh.My.Goodness.Gracious. Dark chocolate cake with chocolate filling with chocolate syrup. Literally. That’s chocolate X 3. With whipped cream. I’m kind of in a chocolate coma right now. So I am going to type this quickly before I fall asleep … *** I [...]

Feed The Squirrels

January 24, 2012

So I woke up this morning and the snow was gone.  Literally.  Gone.  Like – there are remnants, but my yard is green (well, winter-green not summer-green).  I guess it rained all night?  And then it was 50° today.  Holy cow. Bruce made sure all of the bird feeders were cleared off yesterday.  Seriously – [...]
