This has been a very happy but busy time. My hands have been busy knitting projects for Christmas & birthdays. For that reason I haven't spent much time on the computer. Just basic checking mail and looking at the postings of family and friends on Facebook. I'm especially happy with how Ernie's vest turned out and I see that he is wearing it quite a bit. I made two mini-vests and a ribbon scarf. With these projects completed, I can begin another project for my self without feeling guility.
Tomorrow a new box of fruits & veggies arrive from Farm Fresh Farms, so I'll have a new round of cooking to share. Since we went to our daughter's for Christmas, we didn't have leftovers after Christmas and I missed that. To make up for that, we bought a nine pound turkey breast and roasted it. So that filled the turkey, mashed potatoes & gravy craving - today I'm going to fix a lentil stew with jalapeno sauce and cutup turkey in it and turn it into tortillas filled with the mixture. Avocados are fairly inexpensive now and I'll add that to the tortillas. By the way I froze turkey slices from over half of the turkey. It sure beats lunchmeat.
Speaking of avocados, I've been mashing a quarter of an avocado on my toast instead of butter or peanut butter. Then I add a thin slice of provolone on top. Makes a perfect breakfast.
Anyone out there have interesting and different ideas for breakfast?

ReplyDeleteDear Lynette,
ReplyDeleteSo nice to hear from you! Would love to see a picture of your knitting projects. I decided that I must start Christmas projects earlier.Madly knitting is too pressureful. It is very windy here. Many trees down in our neighborhood. Not good walking weather. Best wishes to you and Bill.

Hi Diane.....I guess I should take pictures of projects before I give them away....ha ha....right now I am making washclothes using cotton kitchen yarn but I think they would make nicer shower washclothes teamed up with a bottle of shower gel.....hasnt the rain been something...it eased up today but is suppose to start again tomorrow.....Lynette
ReplyDeleteHi Lynette,
ReplyDeleteWould you share your washcloth pattern? Your idea of adding a bottle of shower gel with the cloth is great! It's sunny today and makes me think about getting the garden ready although I know it is too early. I'm finishing knitting a vest jacket that I'll photograph. Still haven't found the camera but we visit friends in Hawaii in Feb. and I will beg, borrow or buy one for the trip.
Cheers! -Diana
