Ooops My Martha is Showing.....

As in Martha Stewart Homemaker Extraordinairre......Actually as much as a homebody as I am I rarely bake from scratch (if I bake at all) I pull off maybe one or two fancy feasts per year.....Key words here 'pull off' and 'one or two' out of like 50 that I try per year.....
Saturday is RaceDay in our household which means waking up early (for me thanks to Quintus and Gabby) Start baking the muffin loaf, side note here: if you make packaged muffin mix and painstakingly measure it into each little cup, spilling over the muffin pan creating hard little nuggets that you have to chisel off when it's done baking stop right now, crank that oven to 350, grease a loaf pan and dump that mix right in there and bake it for 48 minutes. Trust me, it's way better than silly little muffins. WAAY BETTER. The recipe for it is on the back of my box of muffin mix......Today along with muffin mix I am making No-Bake Cookies. All Recipes dot Com has a wonderful recipe for this, followed by spaghetti with meat sauce.....There are a lot of us who talk during the week to plan this all out and I enjoy it. Meanwhile during this time, we do get up and do our power 90 workout, I do cook breakfast thanks to my handy dandy omlette pan given to me by my mother in law. D loads the race trailer I pack up the food, pack my knitting (i don't know about you but I can't spend 10 hours at a race track without my knitting in the vicinity). Today I'm tempted to toss the coffee pot into the bag to take out there. It's nasty, it's raining, and it has high potential to be cold later. So we are off to the races, I'm bringing a few finished objects so I can use the hood of the car as a backdrop but that will also depend on the weater................ooh there goes the buzzer!! Muffin Loaf. Try it. You'll love it!
Happy Saturday All

SSYC... My First Official Yarn Crawl...

It's true... I've never actually participated in a yarn crawl or LYS tour. When I worked at So Much Yarn I had the pleasure of working the weekend of the LYS Tour but I've never done it. Well, the SSYC, South Sound Yarn Crawl covers 9 shops that aren't included for whatever reason in the Seattle LYS Tour that covers around 25 shops in the area. Maybe they're too far off the beaten path. It's not because they aren't in Seattle because there are shops way way way out of town that are included in the Seattle LYS tour. Whatever the reason, it's not important. What is important is that Mary and I both took Friday off and hit the road. I caught the 7:15 Ferry to Kingston, Arrived at Mary's about 8:00. Mary and I have the same china. Mine came from my Grandmother, her's came from her mom. Tried making friends with her fluffy dog Mae. Someday she'll come to love me, for now I'll respect her tenative personality and love her fro...

Remembering...

I don't know what karmic cosmic angels were flitting around today but they led me to the coffee aisle at the grocery store. More specifically it led me to the international moments. Which led me to thoughts of my grandmother. I loved her. I knew deep in my bones that she loved me. Grandma loved her International Moments coffees. Just smelling them. Holding the tin (though it's different now) Brings back memories of being with my grandma. She said these were her special treat and she'd make one for me to. Grandma made the best fresh blackberry pie. I know they were fresh because when she came to visit us in Bellevue she'd make us help her pick blackberries. She was the master of Christmas cookies, chocolate chip cookies and raspberry freezer jam. I make freezer jam from time to time and it reminds me of summer visits to Boise. Helping grandma in her garden, making sun tea, and smelling her roses. Sometimes, I buy a tin of Interna...
