 November 20, 2009New Boots FridayWith respect to #9 on the list in the last post (wearing high heels without hurty feet) I unexpectedly came across a pair of cute boots that are pretty darn comfortable on my feet.
They are these boots, bought for a better price. Now I just need to buy some cute skirts or dresses to show them off. November 18, 2009Random WednesdayDrive-by blogging continues. 1. The new niece-let is here. The hat? Not done. 2. My tea order arrived, saving life as we know it. I ordered this Pinhead Gunpowder and think it is delicious. 3. I know its not Tuesday, but Carole's "Ten on Tuesday" list was pretty darn entertaining and I thought I'd try my hand. Ten Things I Wish I Knew How to Do - Likelihood of Actually Learning/Doing November 16, 2009Drive-By BloggingIts been busy, busy, busy at the office so today's blogging is of the drive-by variety.
If you've got five minutes to find a picture and you look hard enough, find one you will. A new female baby is shortly to join the family -- probably today -- so I really need to finish this hat. I actually cooked something this weekend -- this turkey chili and it was quite tasty. Clearly aliens have stolen the real me and left an impostor in my place. I have piles of undone laundry. I can't see my desk because of the piles of paper everywhere. I am almost out of tea.

Hold me, I'm skeered. Update on quinoa progress: Amy said: "There are some great recipes listed here, and I'll add just a couple ideas, we do it like we do basmati rice, saute onion in olive oil, add Indian spices like curry and turmeric (a great spice to reduce inflammation in your joints, I'm told), then add the quinoa and water or stock, cover and let cook for 20 minutes, until the water evaporates." I did this last night, using some left over sweet onion, a teaspoon of so of Penzey's Sweet Curry powder, a half-cup of quinoa and a cup of water. After it was done cooking (I let it cook for about 13 minutes) I threw in a big handful of cooked chicken breast and had myself a delicious, nutritious meal. Onwards to try all your other great suggestions. Quinoa for the win! November 11, 2009Random WednesdayAnother Random Wednesday. 1. The baby hat, it grows. Any serious knitter would totally have cranked that puppy out by now. Me, I lazily knit a row or two, get distracted. Knit a row or two. You get the picture. Add a couple of inches to the picture in the last post in your minds, and call it good. No worries, as there is no baby yet. 2. Does anyone have delicious recipes involving quinoa? I'd like to like this, but the one time I cooked it I thought the texture was weird and the taste, eh. 3. On the topic of food, my favorite snack recently has been Stacy's Cinnamon Sugar Pita Chips. A few of these chips calm down my carb cravings right quick. 4. So far November is treating me OK. There were two tandem rides this week which involved bicycle shorts and not long tights. That is like getting an unexpected gift. 5. What do I want for my birthday? It is now time to ponder this important question. |
