Yesterday's Easter celebration went very well, all the food worked out, the roast potatoes went over well enough to prove you can't make too many, and we ended up drinking tea and eating cookies, jellybeans and little chocolate eggs. Before, all looked calm and bright, unless I'm mixing the seasons.
Meanwhile, I've got out my collection of copper and steel wire, ready for whenever the pinloom arrives. I have some ideas.
The weaver in wire also has a YouTube channel, following on our notes the other day
Are you up for a Haggard Hawks puzzle?
Happy day, everyone, our sun just came out, hope yours did in some sense, too.
Sue makes a ton of roast potatoes when she does a family roast. Then she thinks that she should have made more when there are few remaining for leftovers.
ReplyDeleteYes, that sounds familiar!
DeleteI'm excited to see what YOU create with wire and your new loom.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got a nice Easter and also that the rain seems to have stopped. Now- may the waters abate and your tire be replaced so that you will be able to travel about again.
Off soon in two cars to get the tire done with. Then other errands. Then Misfits. It's all go.
DeleteRoast potatoes are always a good side dish!
ReplyDeleteOr even a main one, if that's how you roll!
DeleteWe were very busy Easter time but we had some dry weather and got out to blow away the cobwebs!
ReplyDeleteDry weather is so welcome after all the noisy downpours.
DeleteIt's good to know you had a pleasant Easter with HS. Also glad the tire arrived. Your wire weaving is going to be fun to see. And the sun is shining!
ReplyDeleteThe weaving is still an unknown to me, too.
DeleteAny potatoes my favorite but roasted possibly best. I will be interested to see what you make with the wire. I tried wire knitting once but the wire must have been too thick or too hard.
ReplyDeleteI have done quite a bit of wire knitting, taught other artists, too. The wire can't be any heavier usually than 28 gauge. Copper and brass are best. They're flexible and friendly.
DeleteYou can never have too many roast potatoes.
ReplyDeleteI expect John Lennon said that first. Joke.
DeleteRoast potatoes always go over well at our family gatherings.
ReplyDeleteI never heard of anyone turning them down.
DeleteCan't wait to see what you do with wire weaving, Liz. And as for the Haggard Hawks puzzle, if I got it right, I can't believe how the answer just flowed out of my pen!
ReplyDeleteThat might be a cunning clue! And I don't know yet what will happen with the weaving.
DeleteTea, cookies, jelly beans, and little chocolate eggs sound like heaven.
ReplyDeleteIt was. A great dessert. Handsome Son fills small plastic eggs with the little chocolate ones and jelly beans, distributing the colors! It's his annual stroll down memory lane. And I smooth out and save the foil wrappers, my annual stroll!
DeleteYou are certainly correct about 'you can't have too many roast potatoes'. I expect a plentiful number to be left over for the next day. What? Where did they all go?
ReplyDeleteThey just vanish! I don't think there's such a thing as leftover roasties
DeleteYay - the easter tire has arrived! Now I need to see if I can find that leftover potato casserole in the chest freezer. For some reason I am craving potatoes . . . .
ReplyDeleteThere's such a thing as leftover potato casserole?
DeleteI like potatoes in all the forms: roasted, boiled, chips etc... I used to regard them as legumes, but it appears they are classified as starched vegetables.
ReplyDeleteI guess yes, starchy vegetables. Lovely anyway.
DeleteNothing roast is left over.
ReplyDeleteOld proverb!
DeleteAnd now I am regretting that we did not have roast potatoes with our Easter meal, but the roasted sweet potatoes we enjoyed were delicious...and no leftovers.
ReplyDeleteThere's always next time.
DeleteWire and weaving sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteGlad your Easter was nice
Yes, new adventure with materials.
DeleteI've just bought a Haggard Hawks book for those moments when my brain needs to be woken up.
ReplyDeleteYou really can feel the exertion from a few puzzles. I'm always proud when I solve one. The ones I blog are all ones I got, to play fair with blogistas.
DeleteSo happy to hear that the food went well. True on potatoes. They are yummmmmmy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely Easter meal with your handsome son.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it was lovely.
DeleteI'm so glad your Easter was lovely, although I had no doubt that it would be. It sounds delightful.
ReplyDeleteVery simple, very enjoyable, too. He's good company
DeleteI could certainly help out with using up roasted potatoes (not that it sounds as though you had any problems in that regard). Glad you had a lovely Easter celebration.
ReplyDeleteThank you, never any trouble with candidates for roasties. It was a lovely Easter day.
