Saturday Musings

 Hello everybody.  I hope your Saturday is going  well.  I have been busy working on various projects and can now show some pictures.  Before that, let me say that I was taken to a new, to me, retaurant by Dan and OMG!  I had the best food in a long time.  

You cam check out their website here:

   I was so full that I didn't eat any dinner.  LOL.  I don't think Dan did either.  We both went back for seconds.  Talk about a super great tartar sauce and their breading on the fish and shrimp was so nice.  Don't worry.  I didn't forget my veggies.  I had a small salad (complete with beets) and some okra.  It still counts as a veggie even if it has that delicious breading on it, right?  I almost didn't have any okra because, before now, I hadn't had any that didn't feel or taste oily or slimey.  Whatever they are doing, they are doing it right.

   Today, though, I made a new dish called Queso Chicken.  The original recpe called for it to be put in the crockpot to cook for 6 hours but I didn't want to wait that long.  So I boiled up the chicken breasts, drained them, and then added the rest of the ingredients plus a few others.

   

     It full of cheese including a jar of Monteray Jack Queso and some mix shredded cheese.  In addition to that, it has a small jar of salsa, some garlic powder, some onion powder, and some diced tomatoes on top for color.  The only bad thing is when you try to take it out of the pan.  Still next time I will shread the chicken and use it more as a dip with chips.  It has a little heat in it but notiung my whimpy taste buds couldn't handle.  

   The next thing to report on is crafting stuff.  First up is my block that I received from my swap partner.

   Isn't that cute?  I will add it to all my other blocks in the swap and then eventually will figure out what to make with them.  LOL.  I also managed to get my NEXT block done.  I'm not sure yet what that block will be but I have plenty of time to decide.  

   I was looking through Pinterest, getting in more trouble by collecting more things to work on, when I saw this.

   Isn't that cute?  I think it would be easy to make and you could put whatever animal (even humn ones) you wanted to.  I think putting in a tree in the silhoutte would be good also since there is a small bird way on top.  Don't you just love getting new, to you, ideas?

   I also managed to finish up another baby dragon.  Her name is Goldie.

   Next up will be Green Gene.  Gene is out of order but I already told some people he was nexty so I will just bump him up a bit.

   

   I also managaed to catch up on my Blackwork SAL.  I am still loving the stitch a long but I don't always follow how many strands I'm suppose to use.  That is ok.  I just makes it more mine.  

  

   I am working on another piece which will probably be redwork.  I'll let you know more on that when I start to stitch it.  In the  meantime...

   I hope everybody has a great day!
