For tonight’s #blueskysupperclub I would like to present hubby’s oopsie mashed potatoes — six red potatoes, a tablespoon of butter, and a cup and a half of milk.

I haven’t had sushi in at least two months, the first because it had been a while and the second because of the whole possible sesame allergy thing. I don’t want to risk being exposed until I know for sure. So hubby made (cooked) salmon and crab salad sushi with carrots! #blueskysupperclub

How it started vs. how it’s going Garden Edition

My two-tiered garden overgrown with weeds with two blue pots with dead basil in the center of the upper tier.

Upper half of my garden planted with beans, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, and seeds for spinach and peas.

Lower tier of the garden planted with purple pot, zucchini, spinach, and seeds for beets, radishes, and more peas. The blue pots are in the far end of the garden and now have strawberries in them.

After a rainy end to the day and (temporary?) diet restrictions for sesame, I came home and made a chicken, jalapeño, mac n cheese, and mozzarella pizza from scratch. #blueskysupperclub

Hubby comes in from grilling chicken and announces, “It smells like pea in here.” Why, yes. Yes it does. #blueskysupperclub

Guess who has two thumbs and is *seriously* allergic to millet? 👍🏻THIS GIRL!!!👍🏻 😁 After an ambulance ride and 6 hours in the ED last night, I finally slept… for 4 hours. I’ll have to read food labels very carefully from now on, carry an epi-pen, and do something different (1/4)

Yesterday I watched an amazing glass blowing demonstration by charismaforu at Stoked CT and was just blown away by his skill, creativity, and willingness to discuss what he was doing and teach us about the process. Now I can’t sleep lol.

I won’t lie, today’s show was tough. Nearly an hour and a half away, lots of lookers, surrounded by pitch booths, chilly day. But a little girl for earrings for her first communion, another girl got a beautiful plumeria necklace and earring set, someone got a Czech glass spike necklace AND

My jar of bead release was getting a little clumpy on the bottom so I brought it home to stir it. I forgot it at home and ran out of dipped mandrels Monday. Oops! Instead of calling it a day I made twisties that actually turned out ok! It’s tough melting to the core on a Nortel Minor, but it worked.

I made another video/reel! A local radio station, WZBG in Torrington, made a radio ad (I collaborated on the copy) and is running it for four weeks. So I edited a little video I took of the booth when I restocked last week and put the radio ad on it. Ta-da!!! What do you think? 😁

Beads from Murano have such a special quality with lots of extras. Some artists incorporate shiny silver, dazzling dichroic, or glowing goldstone. Others blow hollow beads that are light as a feather.

I just awoke from a dream where all the mets said they were wrong and were only getting 3-5” of snow. I was mad. Not because we weren’t getting snow but because after all this excitement if we get a whiff nobody will ever believe a meteorologist again. Then

Well crap. You know how you’re supposed to soak salted cod to get the salt out (and rehydrate it)? Yeah, we didn’t. It was SAL-TY! Good thing we made extra broccoli and rice. So is there any way to save baked, un-soaked cod? #blueskysupperclub

I need someone to clean beads for me. This sucks. It sucks worse when they pile up and I think I’ll do them all in one go but it’s hundreds of them and help! 😭

Another nibling birthday cake in the books! Strawberry cake with whipped icing and buttercream. The best reward was that the 3 year old recognized it immediately!

Yesterday I was going out the door and absentmindedly put my hand back to catch it from slamming. Unfortunately the door was nearly closed, closing hard, and my finger got caught. Yeah it hurt. Then I looked at it.

Hubby’s been sick with a cold since we got home from California. Tested negative for Covid, Flu A & B. He’s feeling better, but I don’t want to get it so I’ve been sleeping on the couch with the birds. I knew Popcorn cheeps in her sleep, but tonight she’s having a full on conversation with someone.

Nephew loved his Big Ben cake (giant stack of wafer cookies held together and coated with royal icing) and chowed down on it instead of the actual cake. (Please remember I’m *NOT* a baker or cake decorator, professional or otherwise. I do this just to have fun and see how far I can push my skills.)

The nephew wants a Big Ben cake for his birthday party tomorrow. It’s getting there…
