Waiting for snow

Cheese rice ... YUM!



4 cups rice, 3 cups cheese, 1/2 stick butter and sprinkling of hot sauce. They would be fine nuked but I'll likely bake them 30 mins cause I like it better that way. They also freeze really nicely.

A healthy version could be made with brown rice and no butter. Even healthier, no butter, no cheese, no rice, just kale. Don't bother inviting me, though.

I also made two more pillow cases and did some mending and unpacked my Subscribe and Save stuff that came from Amazon - lotion in the house! yeah. And cleaned up the kitchen so only one doll today.

I'm knitting me a Pink Pussy Hat. I'm going to finish it before I start another bear. So now it's TV and knit time.

Twitter says it's going to snow starting at 4 pm. I'm not holding my breath but I'll be watching... and hoping...

Hmm. I can actually knit that kind of hat. I like that it's knit flat since I prefer to work with straight needles. I'm going to start one tonight and see what I think.

I wish I could knit; I'd totally make a Pink Pussy Hat for the cause.

And I lol'ed about the kale :)

I know someone who is knitting those pussy hats for the women's march on Washington. She modeled it and it came out huge! They are so cute, though.

I used to know how to knit, and did a lot of it a few years prior to my son's birth in 1979. I actually did some rather complex knitting -- making a Christmas stocking for my husband in the same pattern that my mom made for me when I was a child. I did some sweaters, and a vest for me, and a Christmas tree skirt for my mom. I also did some cute little finger puppets as gifts for children. Then -- I stopped. And ... I don't know why I did. Now I can't remember how to cast on! I really should pick it up again, as I remember how much I enjoyed it. I suspect I only need a few lessons to reacquaint myself with what I've forgotten.

you tube - knitter how to's galore!

_Mary Thomas's Knitting Book_ shows six of the ways to cast on. My favorite is fig. 51B.

That rice sounds amazing!

That looks so good. Do I need to do anything other than just chuck the rice in tupperware and chuck it in the freezer? I've got an evening class this semester and I'm compiling ideas for stuff that I can premake, so the folks I live with can just pull things out and nuke (and when I walk in from class ravenous at 830, I can just eat).

I actually do thaw it but I do not see why you couldn't do that in the microwave as well as heat. So... no. Dump, nuke and you're good to go!

Sweet, thanks!

I think we got your snow (6-9" here, more on Cape Cod). Fortunately it stayed well below freezing, so the stuff was easy to move.

That's a lovely (and very lavender) doll.

As demonstrated last time you were here, a prediction of something falling from the sky generally results in nothing falling from the sky. As was the case yesterday here. Of course, they could have been looking at the Boston forecast by mistake...

Glad your lotion arrived.

The rice sounds delicious, shame it would kill me! I miss out on so much :0(
