Hiatus for Food

OK, this is primarily a knitting blog, and will remain so, but permit me a small detour to discuss and show pictures of the vegan cooking I've been doing lately. YUM! These recipes are from Vegan With A Vengeance.
The first picture is Spicy Indian Rice and Chickpea/Spinach Curry. Delish!

The second picture is Chipotle and Black Bean Stew with Vegan Cornbread. The cornbread recipe came from the website affiliated with the book: www.theppk.com. These meals rocked! People who know me know that I'm not much of a cook, that I don't usually enjoy it very much and avoid it when possible. But something about these healthy, tasty meals is turning me around. Tonight I'm making an eggplant curry with rice.

Tigger sweater for Claire


Here's the front of a sweater that Claire and I are knitting together. It's the "Camping Out" pattern from the book "The Yarn Girls' Guide to Knits for Older Kids" using the same yarn pictured in the book, which is incidentally named Tigger and not merely "7052" as the book suggests. Isn't Tigger much better? Me thinks it's going to be adorable! My boyfriend Nigel is walking by in the background. Doubtless he is thinking, "Where's my binary scarf, goddammit?!" *blush* I haven't worked on that pesky scarf in months!

Nine months later!

Wow, it's been so long since I've posted, I could have gestated a human during my absence.

But I didn't.

I've just been moving in with my boyfriend (who incidentally is firing blanks, so no baby!) and selling my house and opening my own private practice and raising my daughter and enjoying life.

And doing very little knitting.

But, I will post what projects I've been up to, knitting and otherwise.
