A Day Off

It's hot outside so I'm staying in. Farmer's Market this morning, Willie Wonka and a salad - done. Now I'm knitting, drinking a beer and watching Star Trek until Eddie gets home.

Some Things I Learned About Stripping Laminate Glue

 Eat first
 Get a chemical blocker dust mask
 Spray a lot if you don't want to scrape and tire out your cramping arm
 I prefer to not spray too much and have more scraping - it's a poison thing

Stripping Laminate Glue off the Kitchen Cabinets

Time to find out if this stuff will work...

Borage

The blooming borage is beautiful and delicious in lasagna.

Fruit Salad

Our very favorite fruit salad.  Made even better by the new wooden spoons from Amani Ya Juu!
 Whipping cream 
Grated nutmeg
Cinnamon
 Tiny bit of sugar

Knitted Teddy Bear

Today I finished the polar bear!

Jalepeño

I just picked the very first jalepeño for a homemade pizza. We got the plant from the farmers market down the road. The tomatoes seeded themselves from last year's plants! Yippee!

No painting today, just Romas and a Cuke

The Roma tomatoes are doing so well.

 My first cucumber, ever!

2nd Window Sill (is "sill" even right?)

YAY! Now the other side matches.

Window sill

The window sash on the back porch came off, so I fixed it. Hopefully, I'll do the other side and paint the whole thing.  I'm really glad there was paint in the basement!
