Hubs and I finally went out for our anniversary. Sit down restaurant but not fancy. One other diner dressed in a leather vest over bare skin. I really don’t want to see belly and armpit hair while I’m eating. He was 60, give or take. Pic below is not him but how he was dressed. #dinner

What is this, you ask? Four -FOUR- beef roasts. Thought I’d ordered 2 but they delivered two. 10 pounds. Wanted leftovers to make shepherds pie but there’s only 2 of us!!! Haven’t looked yet to see if it was my error it theirs. #cooking #roast

I've had a story idea floating around in my brain for a couple of years that I'd love to write. Might be getting closer to starting - ordered this necessary piece of research material last night. Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, 7th ed. (1956). Surprised that I found it! #writing #books

Cookies accomplished. Pennsylvania Dutch Gobs. The best part is the frosting-cooked four/milk base, not too sweet. (No feta for those who saw my previous post and for my fellow #heatedrivalry fans) #cookies #baking

I’ve been mindlessly knitting this weekend while reading a book. Didn’t check in often enough and just found a dropped stitch 8” back. Hoping I can ladder back that far, 200 stitches wide, not anxious to frog it. #knitting #OhNo

For #showmeyourknits 2nd anniversary, the prompt is patterns we’ve knit at least twice. These are basic sock recipe socks-no real pattern-but I’ve probably knit at least 20 pair. Second is the Academie sweater by Trico Design. Nice, simple V-neck sweater. #knit #knitting
