Outing

My guy and I spent another day out having lunch at our favorite cheap ale house; my excellent fish and chips were $6.99. We then tried to work off some of the calories by walking a nearby two-story mall. Mall walking is what old people do in summer so we don't pass out from the mid-day heat.

My favorite person's favorite boutique was having a big sale, but I resisted the urge to buy her something. With her vagabond lifestyle she really doesn't need more stuff to lug around with her (which is why I mainly send her money or things she can eat.)

On the way home we stopped at an antique shop I've always wanted to visit but never had the time to, where I found this shabby chic mini apothecary cabinet. It's perfect for storing all my needles for handstitching and the sewing machine.

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.
