Guidance

I'm going to start a new journal, one that has prompts and questions to guide the entries. I keep a journal every day, but all I've been writing in it is my daily diet notes and stuff for work. I think I'm avoiding writing anything personal lately because of all the sadness over losing my mom and the stress of saying farewell to my favorite person as she moves across the country for her new job. I know it's better to get those feelings out on the page, but other than what I've written on the blog I'm not quite ready.

When I was a teenager I kept poetry and prose journals, which were fun. Now I'm thinking about writing a story entirely in longhand, too. Computers are so much more efficient and convenient, but there's something about hand writing a story that no technology can match.

Stuff

After finding this Caron one pound skein of lovely peach yarn in my thrifted lot I raided my stash for two cakes of Mandala in Pegasus, which matches it perfectly. For practice and hand therapy I'm going to make another Worth Street Afghan with this free pattern , but this time I'll use the yarn that was recommended for it plus the one pound skein. I'm not quite ready to do the vintage/recycled linen quilt I had planned (still a bit too nervous about the idea), so I'm going to use some color therapy and make a quilt from these thrifted green fat quarters. I considered doing another Yellow Brick road patchwork pattern, but I might go with a split rail fence like this one.

Better than Fried

I cut some chives from the kitchen garden to make garlic-chive baked fries for dinner. This is a great side dish for veggie burgers. Click here for the recipe from Taste of Home.com.

In the Kitchen Garden

Our strawberries are taking over the kitchen garden, but I don't mind. This week I want to make some strawberry banana nice cream (a vegan version of ice cream) and maybe a chocolate cake with berries and cream for the topping. There's thyme in the garden now, too, which I'll dry and jar for cooking along with the chives and the oregano. Next we'll plant cucumbers, as I use a ton of those in our salads and for snacks.
