SUPPER CLUB - Sunday, May 28th
Posted: Sun May 28, 2023 6:51 am
Good morning,
Today is my parents' 89th wedding anniversary. I will be thinking of them today. They had a very small wedding in the church rectory with just family. And my dad's mom made a cake for them and a bouquet of pink sweetheart roses from a bush in her yard. My parents either moved that bush to their own yard years later or took a start from it. Now that bush is in MY yard. We dug it up and moved it here before we sold my parents' farm. But I have no roses on it yet this year.
Yesterday I had a little bit of sewing time so I worked on my May OWL block. Then my sis and I went to the grocery store and got berries and peppers, came home, and we made two batches of strawberry habanero jam. Only there were no habanero peppers so we got jalapeno instead. The jam is mainly strawberry with faint "underflavors" (is that a word?) of the peppers and it's not really hot. I use this jam to pour over a brick of cream cheese and spread on crackers. It's a great appetizer.
Today - not sure what's happening. The menfolk had planned on vegging out in front of the car races but it sounds like at least one of them will be cancelled due to weather. My sis and I might go to Tacoma. There's a few thrift stores we haven't hit yet, but there are also gardens we might go visit. And a large greenhouse garden in another park that I think she would enjoy seeing. Neither of us has been there since we were kids.
TINA - I bet Jaz is really "jazzed" over that car! What a great photo! If anyone can fix it up, I know Frankie can. What does Holly think about it?
JANA - I think that hailstorm hit my sister's town in CO, too. She was telling me it was predicted - and they have a little old 1976 Toyota pick-up sitting out. She was worried about the hail taking out the rusty parts of the truck and the rust was all that was holding it together!
So, was there trouble in the Batt Cave yesterday? You must have found something to get into!
CAROL - you will master machine binding. I know you will. I was forced to give up doing it by hand because of a variety of problems with my hands. It was a struggle. Some people use a decorative stitch and I tried that but didn't like the look of it. So I persevered with straight stitching. Now I wouldn't go back! I can do a king quilt in about 90 minutes, start to finish.
I have a small ham so I think that's what we'll have for tonight's supper. My sis loves ham. Scalloped potatoes, green beans, and a salad. I'm already hungery.
Got any ideas yet for your supper?
