We're having guests for dinner tonight. It's actually merely an excuse to construct clean the identify up. Mike (aka Blow Man) went around yesterday amongst his leafage blower in addition to blew all the debris off the patios in addition to sidewalks, in addition to hey! The identify looks a whole lot better. It's amazing how much one's eyes tin avoid seeing until its all gone from view, if that makes whatever sense.
In my kitchen wanderings yesterday, I had most things virtually one-half done, in addition to develop to seat the concluding touches on them today. I made the same Dilled Potato in addition to Pickled Cucumber Salad I made in conclusion week. Mike has declared it the best murphy salad I've always made. Sounds similar a winner to me. Also, I made this BLT Bow Tie Pasta Salad. With our salads, we'll last having a Crisp Skin High Roast Chicken from Cook's Illustrated. Mike tin grill this, in addition to that makes it easier for me. The link I've given yous includes the potatoes that tin last cooked below the chicken. The chicken fatty drips into them, cooking in addition to flavoring the potatoes, but nosotros intend they destination upward also greasy. It'll last merely the chicken for us. Today I'm making a lemon meringue pie. Here's a film of i I made for Pi hateful solar daytime a distich of years ago. I knew you'd desire to run into it.
It's non a hard pie to make, but in that place are a lot of steps involved. That volition own got me the ameliorate business office of the morning.
So that's yesterday in addition to today's morn inwards a nutshell...or a pie shell...or whatever.
There was a piddling fourth dimension for sewing yesterday. I've nearly completed 2 to a greater extent than shops for the Shop Hop quilt embroidery.
This row has 7 names because the middle block volition last a double. There are 2 fabrics amongst a larger scale that volition larn a piddling to a greater extent than room on the quilt than the others.
Also, I made the hanging sleeve for the Quiltmaker's Garden quilt. It's pinned to the quilt in addition to develop for hand-sewing. I doubtfulness anything to a greater extent than volition tumble out on this until tomorrow.
The label is also made in addition to develop for sewing.
When I was develop to exit the sewing room, Smitty showed up. His dinner dish needed attention.
How would it last if I knocked this box of binding clips to the floor? I could, yous know. Just a thought.
Guess I'd ameliorate own got assist of the cat. There's lots to exercise inwards the kitchen today. Mustn't proceed the pie (or the cat) waiting.
