Blind Date

While my guy and I were out wandering last week we stopped in the new Wildwood Antiques in Lakesquare Mall (which we also walked), and I used some of my leftover Christmas money to pick up a blind date with a book.

I've been a little frustrated with myself over how slow I am at getting things finished this month, so I needed a little fun. I've bought several of these mystery bundles from the same seller and they're always good. I also like the little extras tucked in the packaging. This bundle was $8.00.

Two Catherine Anderson novels! I do know of her (she got into the business about ten years before I did) but I've never had the chance to read her work. Now I will. :)

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.
