all sorts of delicious...

Is what I was thinking last night when I sat down to dinner...What did I have? you ask...I'll tell you. It was nothing short of amazing. A little time consuming but well worth it. The best part is that it's equally delicious served cold at around midnight, well the dogs and I thought so when we took another forkful of it. Is the suspense killing you? Do you want to know what it was? Is the suspense killing you?

Wait for it...

Tortilla Lasagna! by fellow knitter, blogger, and designer Kellty Patla at Creating a Family Home.
If you haven't checked out her blog you should hop on over immediately (click the fancy link above)...She's amazing! Her designs are wonderful and her recipes (I've tried two so far) are delicious...

I made a few tweaks to it based on what I had at home but the rest of it I followed to the letter.
Tweaks:
I used flour tortillas instead of corn but in order to prevent them from getting mushy I toasted them lightly before layering in the pan.
I added 1 can of pinto beans and about 1 cup of corn to the beef mixture along with 3-4 cloves of diced garlic.
Trust me when I say this was delicious.
You should try it.
Tonight.
This weekend for sure.
I filled a 9x13 pan and we had dinner last night, (midnight snack), lunch today at work, and dinner again tonight.
Have you left for the store yet? What are you waiting for?

Need a picture? I thought about taking it before I dug in...obviously I didn't think hard enough because I couldn't resist the smells wafting up at me...
The big bonus though was that D liked it as well, which is nice because I can add it to my recipe rotation for him.
Now on a side note, D pointed out the other day that Gabby has taken precedence over Quintus in the photo taking/blogging arena...While it's possible that it's true it's only because Quintus always looks away from the carmera when I point it at him. In order to prove my point last night after we finished dinner I said 'Watch, as soon as I point this at him he'll look away'
Best picture all summer...I love him to pieces.

Knitter Down...I Repeat, We Have a Knitter Down...

It's probably not that dramatic, well maybe it is, who can say for sure....but I can say this, right now from my elbow to my wrist is some gnarly pain that was flared last night after knitting 6 rows of the Shawl...SIX ROWS and then WHAMMO! so much pain. This isn't the first day I've had this, I've actually been ignoring for a few days ...okay, I've been ignoring it for a couple weeks but this is the worst it's been...So, I've made inquiries as to which doctor to see and am waiting to hear back to make an appointment...while I wait ice packs, and copious amounts of pain meds (don't worry by copius I really mean, recommended daily dose) are being taken with the shedding of a few tears while I fondle my knitting... stay tuned...this can't possibly last forever xoxoxo c. p.s. Fati...don't worry I have a plan if this whole wrist issues blows out of control...

W.I.P

Bears Barn Owl. We had a hockey game last night and while I'm normally so wrapped up in the game that I don't have time to knit, that was not the case last night. Silvertips have had a rough go and the Red Deer Rebels really wolloped them last night. So I knit. I ate some dingleberries. Delicious. and I knit some more. I have a feeling I'll be finishing this bad boy up by tomorrow and he'll be the star of the retreat. Isn't his color wonderful?

The countdown...

The Elbow has taken things a little to far. After three cortisone shots, icing, and squeezing exercises, it's just not behaving... Tuesday I went into the MRI tube do the Doc H. Could get a good look at what's going on...wear and tear is what's going on and it's only getting worse.. I can keep getting shots of cortisone but eventually they'll stop being as effective. Surgery will be the best option. That's right. SURGERY Wanna know the worst part? Recovery can take up to five months Five Months 5 FIVE months of no knitting... . . . I'll give you a second to get up off the floor... . . . You read that again didn't you? . . . my friend MzKimba has graciously offered to take care of my stash. However I think I'll just pack it all up and store it somewhere safe till I get the all clear from Doc H. Now all this being said, I have projects that need to be completed, so I'm going to try and schedule the surgery for som
