I LOVE FOOD! I love to prepare different things varying with the seasons...I made those spring rolls I mentioned a couple months ago. Did you know how easy it is to make spring rolls?! What a great hot-weather munch!!!
This morning I made the "Homemade Kitkat Bars" from Paula Deen's Christmas magazine...so easy to make. And they smell delicious. Haven't tried one yet....
I made AfricanKelli's version of granola I mentioned in a previous post. It has peanut butter in it, but I used a jar of cashew butter that no one would eat (go figure, they all LOVE cashews!) That recipe makes a huge batch, and though it is not as sweet as my other fav granola recipe, but tastes great with milk. Mmmm mmm. I have large Tupperware containers where we always keep our breakfast cereal, and I filled one to the brim with that yummy concoction! Next version will use almond butter!
Today, I'm trying no-knead bread from a recipe here. Nice cold day for bread baking, with snow flurries outside and gray skies.
Maybe some crockpot cheese soup, too. Yes, I think I will ;')
On knitting, I finally made it back to Friday night knitting group after about 7 weeks away. I missed it a lot. It was so much fun to see everyone's projects. I was inspired to buy a pair of these--my friend bought the size 50s and has made 3-4 scarves for gifts in about 2 hours each!!! That's a fun way to use up the wacky hobby yarns that are so cheap out there, and get a really pretty scarf or rug out of it! So I caved...can't wait til they arrive!
Also I met an old friend there, it was her first visit to the knitter's group! So cool to see her again, we used to work together at a govt clinic, and used to talk about all things crafty. I remember once I even brought in some of my quilts to show her ...She is very talented, makes bobbin lace, and was just learning to knit last night! Another convert :D
Slogging through Moderne. It seems like very slow work, but I'm liking the wool sitting on my lap in these cold days! Wool sure makes winter much more enjoyable, in my mind!!! And now, to bake, knit and be generally cozy and warm.
May your weekend be the same!

The NY times bread is pretty good, but I find that the http://www.artisanbreadinfive.com/
bread is far superior. I have never stopped making it since I tried it. I use rye flour(2 cups rest all purpose)) in mine. Really easy and awesome bread.

Ooooh, thanks for the comparison Hakucho. I'll have to try that one too :)
Great recipes! When I saw that picture of Eeyore, I was worried that you were feeling a little down. But with all that good stuff going on, you sound great!
