Today was a bit under the weather day, very hot, didn't get in a walk, since the sun exposure thing, UV index, was high.
But I did get into stitching, and it's getting there.
And early in the week, before food arrives Thursday morning, is sometimes a bit what to eat, bread's done, want to avoid heating up the kitchen.
Anyway, this happened and I'm quite pleased. One can diced tomatoes, can cannellini beans, chunk of Parmesan, chunk of butter, cumin, chili powder, mixed with radiator pasta.
The garnish is homegrown scallions. Not sure what this might be called. It's more beans and tomatoes than pasta. It's good though, by any name.
Additional note for people unfamiliar with radiator pasta
Strawberries and yogurt for dessert. So I guess there was something to eat in the place.
And here's a hugely exciting sight
Suddenly, finally, the hibiscus I thought would never start, threw out this sturdy growth. This is the replacement for the snowdrops that never grew, well, two out of about 100.
Up until yesterday, the hibiscus looked like a dead twig, with just a hint of green wood. Now I guess its time has come. So I'm glad I left it alone.
Happy day, everyone, sometimes doing nothing is a good policy. Then there's this approach
I've got a couple of creatives in my family. Interesting to live with . . .

DeleteYour stitching is wonderful for not doing much you accomplished a lot.
ReplyDeleteCathy
Thank you for the nice words!
DeleteIt is a good idea to stay indoors when the heat is oppressive. It has been cold here,
ReplyDeleteI think I've forgotten cold.
DeleteRadiator pasta? We must call it something different. Maybe spirals.
ReplyDeleteI guess meeting number 1 only on Creative People chart doesn't make me creative.
I wonder what your name for it is? Maybe Caro can oblige.
DeleteI call that pasta shape "roti-oties" and use it a lot because of the delightful way it hangs onto sauce :)
ReplyDeleteI like how obliging it is about mixing with vegetables. I only discovered it recently.
DeleteWhatever we think of cold vs hot weather, it is easier to sleep in a cooler house.
ReplyDeleteI like it cool enough to use a covering at night. But I haven't used the AC yet.
DeleteI like that meme about creative people!
ReplyDeleteI thought you might!
DeleteThat radiator pasta is a new one to me, don't think we get that here. Penne and twists are the norm.
ReplyDeleteYou might like to try it if you come across it. Also good in soup.
DeleteI agree about the 'hand' changing as you stitch on a project. I always find that additional weight/heft very satisfying.
ReplyDeleteLove the 'Creative People' meme and, like you, they all apply to me. I might snag this one for sharing on my blog too...thanks!
Feel free! I stole it myself.
DeleteSometimes, for some beings and things, being left alone is exactly what's needed.
ReplyDeleteThe trick is knowing when. As in life!
DeleteRadiatori is great for holding sauce. Whatever you call it, you meal looks good. It's very hot and humid, fortunately there is a breeze. I fit everyone of those descriptions of a creative person!
ReplyDeleteSee, what'd I tell ya?
DeleteGreat meme about creative people and just what I needed to see today!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Ready made excuses for all occasions.
DeleteI have not been keeping up, but so glad I popped in on this post. Your latest stitch looks fun - to do and to look at. And your thoughts about it is interesting. We wouldn't necessarily see the heft on a screen, but you mentioning it, I can imagine how it feels in hand, and looks in person.
ReplyDeleteI'm really liking this, though the concept is a bit dark.
DeleteI'm glad the hibiscus has emerged!
ReplyDeleteI'm thrilled!!
DeleteI never pull out a plant until it has gone through all the seasons.
ReplyDeleteMany a time it’s lucky I didn’t as they do eventually start to shoot
Enjoy the warm weather. We have hit winter with a vengeance and it’s suddenly really cold
