What do you do when you have about a dozen red and small russet potatoes and a lot of fresh dill? Why make potato salad of course!
This weekend I experimented with what I had in the kitchen and whipped up some potato salad from scratch. Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of it (the one [...]
Nothing says summer like potato salad.
I can relax now.
I’m not getting married naked.
A few people might be there.
There will be pictures to share afterward.
That is all now. Thank you.
A tribute to my own personal hero.
Since moving to Kansas City, I have met some wonderful people. One of the first to welcome me here was my dear friend PlazaJen. Now Miss Jen has many redeeming qualities – we enjoy a rollicking good time together with knitting, liquor and tasty desserts frequently! But one of her most endearing traits (at least [...]
When Find/Replace Bites You in the Ass
Since Monday I have been working at a new temp job. Normally I don’t share too much about the jobs I take on, just in case someone happens to stumble across my little corner, but this job is pretty cool. I happen to be working for AMC World Headquarters for the next few weeks, in [...]

WWKIP Parte Deux
Today I diligently celebrated the second day of the WWKIP holiday. (Hey if Christmas can have 12 days, can’t we knitters have TWO?) Today I celebrated World Wide Knit in Pajamas day by steadfastly refusing to get dressed all day long, while simultaneously knitting up a storm. I would say my only regret is [...]
WWKIP
I bet you didn’t know this, but today was World Wide Knit in Public Day. Now if you’re like me, you never let anything get in the way of knitting in public. (Yes I have been known to actually knit in movie theaters, while waiting on lines, on my lunch hour, and basically anywhere [...]
As applied to life in general (and knitting specifically)
If people aren’t looking at you funny, you aren’t doing it right.
"I’m thinking Hancock was doing shit around there"
So apparently the past few days the US has been natural disaster central.
* Light was evacuated from her home in the midst of the Santa Cruz wildfires. Luckily her home is safe, but she still can’t get back into it and has no water or power.
* Tornadoes hit Manhattan, Kansas a few days ago. [...]
