Two new dishes will be premiering on the menu this week: Cauliflower and Caramelized Onion Tart, courtesy of smitten kitchen, and Sausage and Roasted Vegetable Penne from Ten Dollar Dinners with Melissa d’Arabian. Keep your fingers crossed that they turn out well.
I apologize for neglecting your questions about Wisteria. Here’s what it looks like now that it’s been steeked:
I still need to finish the first button band, pick up and knit the second one, add the button loops and sew on the buttons. When that is done I will have a lovely neck gaiter. Or maybe a Corgi-warmer. Hard to tell.
The husband is out of town right now. That means that the girls are in danger of having some small part of their lives go undocumented. I would hate for them to be the only ones in their graduating class not to have every single event, no matter how insignificant, be fully recorded for posterity so…
The Cupcakes have been agitating to decorate for Valentine’s Day for weeks now. I managed to hold them off for the entire month of January, but today I gave in. This afternoon the girls and I made a quick run to the craft store for supplies. Thirty plus dollars later we emerged with a low-temp glue gun, construction paper, foam hearts and enough glittery stickers to cover at least one of the dogs. Let the madness begin:
In unrelated knitting news Wisteria is nearly complete. Hooray! I didn’t make my self-imposed deadline, but it will be done in time for Madrona.
OK, I’d better go before the girls start decorating each other.
