Those Damn Biscuits, a Blanket & a Noodle

2 Comments

Biscuitsafter Remember these? I couldn't get them out of my mind, so I made some. While these were indeed yummy, I will cut the salami into much smaller pieces next time…. these were great but a bit more rustic than i hoped for. I will also try them with ham and cheddar.

Collards

I harvested so many collards and mustard greens I had to give a bunch away. These were amazing.

Blanket Another Moderne Log Cabin on the needles, knit in lovely woolly heathers.

Noodle

and the sweet kitty Noodle (one of this blogs namesakes). Noodle will be 13 this March, and while he has slowed down a wee bit, he's still a tiger. I love his h(ears).

Happy New Year

While I am not one to make grand resolutions every year, I am always hopeful and curious how the new year will unfold. DH designed this outdoor fireplace for a friend to build. We had a huddle around it on Christmas night… it's perfect. Yesterday I stocked up on s'more ingredient. I believe that one should have these things on had when one is in the possession of such a fine fireplace…don't you? Now I need to ready some sticks.

Today, for lunch we are having Good Fortune Soup then off to spend time with friends and have even more black eye peas, collard greens & cornbread. You honestly cannot enter a Southern home on New Years day and NOT be offered some. I need to bake up an apple crisp to bring.

Last night I whipped up one of these in yummy Cashmerino Super Chunky.

After some time with friends we'll head back home, light a fire and hopefully fire up some s'mores.
