Epic Fail

The Graduate and knitting...a fine day...or so it seemed...

Our blog this year has been greatly abandoned.  This does not mean we have not been cooking or knitting, just that we got swept away in the business of every day life.

So, here is a quick update on my recent attempts at getting something posted on here.  In the knitting realm, I have been working on another toy.  My nephew Nate requested a wolf for his birthday and I found a pattern he liked and started knitting about a month ago.  Last week I discovered a problem with the pattern and conferred with Marmie who said the problem was in fact, with the pattern.  Since then, I have put the project on hold but hope to pick it up and make my way through some solutions this weekend.

Until I noticed the first of many fails. Notice the color in the pattern...

And then the cooking world.  I came home from school sick today and decided after some rest it would be a good day to meet our October goal of making soup.  I found a pretty basic recipe in my Julia Child cookbook and set to cooking.  VERY simple.  Peel and cut potatoes.  Cut onions.  Throw in pot with other vegetables.  (I chose cauliflower.)  Simmer for an hour.  Take off lid.  Simmer for 15 minutes.  Mash.  Yeah.  I got a watery mess of vegetable garbage.  I ate a pear.


So while my recent attempts at posting for this blog failed, I am glad that I have successfully posted something!  Hopefully my lovely ladies will follow suit!
