We had a lazy solar daytime for our in conclusion solar daytime inwards Pahrump. This morning, we'll hitting the route for Caliente, Nevada. I thought I mightiness move out my sewing auto yesterday, but in addition to hence didn't. Instead, I spent some fourth dimension trimming upwardly the one-half foursquare triangles I made a few days ago. I'm guesstimating I had close 100 to do.
These bring been form of fun to move with. Some I recognize the projects they came from, in addition to some I bring no idea. I bring a few other cutting off ends of strip sets, in addition to I'll uncovering a house for them inwards whatever quilt comes of this. I liked these kitty themed ones...
in addition to these...
Sorry close the blur. I was shooting without flash. When I was finished, I had a prissy picayune pile of strings, dust, in addition to fluff.
Now that these are trimmed up, I experience reinvigorated for sewing the residuum together. Next fourth dimension around, I'll proceed the pile smaller earlier trimming them up. My friend Sharon told me she sews her bonus triangles together in addition to trims them upwardly equally she generates them. I wishing I'd done that, in addition to from directly on, I'll follow her lead. For directly though, I bring this handbag total of them, in addition to it's too belatedly for them. They'll bring to last trimmed equally I go. There volition last to a greater extent than fourth dimension for sewing on downward the road, but likely non for a calendar week or two.
Of course, I did some slow-stitching yesterday too. Here's the day's inchy:
And I filled some other hoop of manus quilting.
At this rate, I should last quilting approximately the outer edge fairly soon. I'll proceed working on this for the side past times side several days, in addition to and hence I'll larn dorsum to the snowflakes.
There was a pretty sunset in conclusion night. The sunsets in addition to sunrises bring been "big" here. They set on a present looking to the east...
in addition to looking to the west. They seem to stretch from horizon to horizon, in addition to at that topographic point is coloring no thing which direction 1 looks.
As the Sun was setting, nosotros were both involved inwards the creation of this Chipotle-Coffee Steak Salad alongside Grilled Corn in addition to Tomatoes. H5N1 few days ago, I mentioned making some Quilt Pickled Onions to become along alongside the salad. Mike grilled the steaks to perfection, in addition to this was hence yummy. I was exactly trying to usage upwardly a container of feta cheese, in addition to this seemed similar a proficient means to usage it. It's like shooting fish in a barrel plenty to practise inwards the RV, but it requires a picayune thinking ahead. The pickled onions postulate to sit down for at to the lowest degree an hr earlier they're ready. Also, the rub is added to the steaks, in addition to and hence they postulate to sit down at room temp for at to the lowest degree an hr earlier grilling.
I've linked to the recipe dorsum there, but I bring a few notes close it. For the rub, I used some instant espresso pulverization I had along alongside us. For the "ground coriander," I substituted cumin. Otherwise, I made it exactly equally listed. Also, proficient fresh corn isn't available correct now, in addition to hence I used some frozen corn. I exactly sprayed the vegetables alongside olive crude spray. The corn was given a five-minute caput starting fourth dimension over the tomatoes, in addition to I exactly grilled them inwards a skillet until they had some brownish on them.
The exclusively other thing I bring to state close the recipe is that I would usage less feta inwards the future. Feta in addition to I bring a mixed relationship. Goat cheese used to last my exchange for feta, but I've grown to a greater extent than tolerant of it over time. Still, its season seems a picayune overwhelming to me, in addition to besides...feta makes me sweata for some reason. It's similar people you've known who sweat when they consume spicy food. Anyway...I'd usage one-half equally much inwards the future. It was a picayune too salty for my taste.
After dinner, Smitty led us inwards a guided meditation. Ommmmmmmmmmmmm...
Also, nosotros fnally, finally, finally, managed to larn some drone footage downloaded in addition to and hence uploaded. This procedure took a proficient role of the afternoon, but We. Did. It! I can't state this is the most impressive video you'll ever see, but at the real least, y'all tin last impressed past times the fact that nosotros got it uploaded in addition to published here. It's from our trip to Moab in conclusion September. This is 1 of our favorite rides...out to Determination Towers. It is a massive formation. Enjoy...or don't. Either means is fine. Never desire to boss anybody around, y'all know. And if y'all can't come across the video, in addition to hence click correct here.
So that was our in conclusion solar daytime inwards Pahrump. When (or "if") y'all side past times side take away heed from me, we'll last northward in addition to due east of Pahrump inwards the picayune town of Caliente, Nevada. It's a town of approximately 1,200 people in addition to high desert, hence we're expecting cooler temperatures. Looking at the forecast, it looks to last inwards the mid- to high-50's during the day, but real mutual frigidity at black alongside temperatures inwards the 20's. Since we're non certain we'll uncovering much inwards the means of groceries there, nosotros did our grocery shopping yesterday. Also, inwards a town that small, it's ever a query whether we'll bring internet, in addition to hence y'all mightiness non take away heed from me 1 time again until nosotros larn dorsum to Boulder City. Fingers crossed nosotros uncovering a proficient jail cellphone signal. Our elbow grease today is a picayune over 200 miles, hence non a bad day. Hoping I come across y'all on the other side.
