This and That

It's not all writing and quilting with me, you know. Last month I tried a couple of times to recreate the pepperoni bread my dad loved, using my own recipe and some ingenuity.

I blew out a seam on this loaf, but otherwise I'm pretty close. Once I've nailed it I will post and share my recipe, because even when I fail it's really good bread.

I'm also still on the spring cleaning. Last month I unloaded my favorite person's bins from high school, sent her the pics, and then had her tell me what to keep, discard or donate. The system is working pretty well, and by the time she comes back from the islands she won't have to do this herself.

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.

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.

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.
