Quitting with Class

Picture_1

Of course when I first saw this I read Quilting with Class, but that’s beside the point. I was reminded of one of the best "quits" I’d ever witnessed. I managed a restaurant in my late 20s and early 30s. One Saturday night in the peak of service our sous-chef was searching for his pantry guy. The pantry person is usually the person who makes the salads and plates the desserts. Well, the sous-chef finally finds him sitting on top of the ice cream freezer eating blackberries and fresh whipped cream. They get into it and  the pantry guy says, "you’re so hostile man, I quit." He proceeds to take off his black and white checked pants, roll them up and tuck them under his arm. He then walks out through the packed dining room and out the front door without any pants. Now that’s "Quitting with Class"

Pie…my favorite

People who know me know this about me . . . I love pie. I mean I really love pie.
I am hosting a pie social smack dab in the middle of the workday tomorrow.
Tonight I will bake 2 pies. One will be a blueberry almond crumble and the other TBD.

Lovely Morning

Kitchwindow_2to be outside taking photos of past knitted projects that I’ve been so behind on. I’m sure I’ll unearth some more, but I’ve updated my projects on Ravelry.
I am almost done with those damn socks and am brainstorming what to knit with my Plucky Knitter yarn. I think I may need OLIVIAS LACE.
Saturday the DH and I drove over to eat dinner at Royers Round Top Cafe. Amazing. I’m sure you antiquing junk nuts will recognize the town of Round Top. The Fall Round Top Antiques Fair is just around the corner. I found some real treasures at the Spring fair and can’t wait to go back.
