Day Trip

My guy, our nephew and I went on a day trip to Cocoa Village last week, where I played guide and took them on the walking tour of the historic buildings in town. This time we were able to check out the Porcher House along the way, which is a gorgeous nineteenth century mansion.

I stopped in at Hello Again Books, of course, and brought home a pile. If I lived any closer I'd be in trouble.

On the way home we stopped by the Valiant Air Command Warbirds Museum in Titusville to hang out with some of my old friends, too. :) If you'd like to see pics of all the amazing aircraft this organization is restoring and preserving for future generations, check out my album here.

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.
