SUPPER CLUB - Wed, Dec 15
Posted: Wed Dec 15, 2021 4:32 am
Good morning!
We're nearly 70* this morning with almost 90% humidity. Nice for our early morning walks but I could be happier with - say - 85% humidity . . . At least my skin isn't all dry and itchy like it gets in AZ!
In case you didn't hear me cheering for myself yesterday, I finished my LOTR quilt. A picture is over in photos. Whew! Now on to lesser projects. Something I don't have to think about while I sew. But first, I believe we're going on a round of thrift shopping today. There are 3 shops close by and Bill wants to look for a couple of specific things. I told him I'd go along 'for the ride' because that's the kind of good wife I am.
VELDA - Lara had cataract surgery just in one eye about 5 years ago and the thing she noticed was colors are so much more brilliant. Have you noticed that? Bill is legally blind in one eye and has cataracts in both. He'll need surgery in the next year or so I think. They will do his bad eye first. His doctor is very cautious. But I notice he is squinting a lot more in the past 6 months.
TINA - Way to go on those stockings! Smart to just do a practice cuff first to make sure you've got it right. Do you have to sit at your embroidery machine while it stitches? My SIL said she could set hers to a project and then go make supper while it stitched.
BECCA - Is there any update on your SIL? I would be extremely cautious, too, with CA's medical history. I used to make fried pies - 5" circles of pastry folded over a Tbsp of filling, crimped, and deep fried was my "recipe". How do you make yours? I haven't deep fried anything in years now.
CAROL - I'm sure it was nice to be able to have your Christmas gathering again! Do you have many members who are not vaccinated? And were they OK with staying home? I've found some folks get very angry, which I don't understand. I don't think they are thinking beyond their own selves.
JANA - you have to be more careful about what jumps into your cart when shopping! I'm ever vigilant, myself. Russian Tea Cakes. Yum! My son's very favorite cookie. I used to make them for him every year and sometimes just because.
TINA - again. Only 9 to go! You can do it! Don't you hate 'technical difficulties'? Usually, when I have them I discover it's operator error. But you know how technically challenged I am! lol!
Tonite I'm finally going to get my ham & bean soup made. It won't be a big pot - at least I don't think it will be. You know how soup can grow. lol! And a few rolls. And salad.
What's on your eating schedule for tonite?
