Weekly Yarn Along....

Joining again the weekly Yarn Along with Ginny over at Small Things. I am finding that I really feel connected lately with the other women involved in the Yarn Along...and this blesses me to share two of my great loves...reading and yarn with others who appreciate the special place they hold in my heart. My reading this week has been all about recipes....so I've combed thru my daughter's new issue of Taste of Home's Healthy cooking magazine and have some earmarked...and also, my new favorite cookbook "Extending the Table"....I LOVE this cookbook as it is organized by country and region as well as ingredients and type of food...so if I am looking for something to do with chicken, and a portuguese chicken recipe catches my eye....or tomorrow we're making "Papusa's" stuffed with ground venison, onions, seasonings and cheese and having them with pickled veggies from the summertime....and next week we're going to try Phillipino "Lumpia" for dinner....love how these meals stretch my ingredients, are healthy and spice up our winter a little bit! LOL

Hmmm....my knitting....well, that has now turned into crochet! My friends, I started this darn knit hat 3 times and STILL had to frog it...and discovered that by switching to crocheting my hat that it is almost done! I guess I've crocheted for so many years, that it is much faster and easier for me to do. I'll still keep plugging along at knitting....I have scarves to make and am determined to learn how to knit socks on circular needles someday. But for now....I'm finding some simple pleasure with the familiar rhythm of my hooks. What are you enjoying during this cold, cold winter? Have a warm, blessed evening! ~Sue~
