Jell-O Pie...

I venture upon this post with some trepidation. My mom is probably reading the title shaking her head thinking...'you can take the girl out of Minnesota but you can't take the Minnesota out of the girl' but my mom loves pie and I think if presented she would enjoy this as much as I did yesterday... It's super easy and you can find the recipe here.

first you make your Jell-O and add the cool whip, let it set in the fridge for 20-30 minutes


Spoon or pour (if you get impatient like I did and didn't let it set long enough) into a premade graham cracker crust pie tin and return to the refridgerator, now go and lick the bowls...(not that I do that)


After 4 hours your will look better than this but I could only hold out for three and a half hours before cutting into it! Serve this refreshing treat up with fresh berries and cool whip on top...


You know what he's thinking right? 1. You HAVE Jell-O pie and I have NO Jell-O pie, 2. I'm not even allowed in the bed and you're eating in it.
I did eat this in bed because I was smack in the middle of a Criminal Minds Episode and at one point I almost tossed my Jell-O pie across the room, which the dogs would have enjoyed.  


while waiting for the Jello-O pie to set up or not as the case may have been, I cracked out a few more repeats on Fatima's shawl.. One skein of Lace Weight down, at least one more to go...need to do some winding tonight.

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...
