SUPPER CLUB - Saturday, July 23
Posted: Sat Jul 23, 2022 6:40 am
Good morning,
It's a beautiful, if cloudy morning. We will be a sunny 74* this afternoon and loving it. I'm going to be savoring today and tomorrow because a heat wave is on it's way Tues thru the end of the week.
Yesterday we went to brunch at our new pancake house. Some of it was wonderful and some of it was less so. Never had such good coffee in a restaurant! But, you had to ask for refills, they weren't offered. You didn't get teaspoons with the silverware packet, nor did you get paper napkins until after the food was delivered. Some of the food was really tasty, but Becky's omelet was kind of weird - almost like a puffy pancake. My scrambled eggs were good but the potato pancakes tasted like fish. Bill & Becky tasted them and agreed. They were served with very runny applesauce which was really hard to eat with a fork. But the pancakes the guys had were great. We'll go again because it has potential. And we needed a good breakfast restaurant in town. But I will be ordering different things next time.
In the afternoon I started kitting up my North Stars. There are nine blocks in this quilt, 24" each. I'm not sure if I'll sew it here or take it to Texas this winter. But whenever, wherever, I'll be ready! I have half that project to go so I'll probably get it finished today. Bill's almost done quilting Star Bright and I have the binding and label ready to go for that.
TINA - thank you for the recipe. I printed it off. It looks tasty and flexible.
JANA - well, who wouldn't love cheesy bread sticks!! Yum!! Glad Karlie found them to her liking. Did you get to sew yesterday?
CAROL - Bill and I always go for our dental cleanings together. We have different hygienists so our appts are at the same time. We go every 6 months so at each cleaning make appts for the next time. What are you cutting fabric for? Yesterday I cut 200 5-1/2" squares of muslin to back my crazy quilt blocks. And they, along with a big tote of scraps, will go to TX with me this winter. I've been working on a king sized crazy quilt for 18 months, mostly while traveling. The other project I'm kitting up is North Stars by Elizabeth Hartman. That may also go to TX or I might do it here. Depends on how the projects fall, I guess.
I think tonite's supper will be BBQ'd chicken with potato & onion packets on the grill. And the ever present salad. Our local news has a Question of the Day every weekday. Last week the question was "60% of people order this in a restaurant because they never make it at home." The answer was salad! I was surprised because we make salad almost every night. Do you all make salads?
