Yesterday's winnowing, an angelwing begonia, now lives in the library where the knitting group meets. I grew this from cuttings.
Wrapped for travel.
And the group chat today ranged over topics from naming babies to doing puzzles to cooking from today's Modern Daily Knitting MDK newsletter, which I did for lunch.
It was one of those times when the planets are aligned and you're reading email over breakfast, thinking idly about lunch, and in a unlikely place, a knitting newsletter, find a likely candidate. And you have all the ingredients for an interesting recipe right in the house. Here's how it worked out
The cast: chickpeas, onions, spinach, garlic, cilantro, parsley, ground turkey (meatballs from freezer) leftover carrots added in why not. Mixture of turmeric, cayenne, coriander, cumin, salt, pepper. The recipe writer served with yogurt, I chose feta cheese crumbles.
Three dinnersworth from the recipe. I suppose you could serve it over rice, too, if you chose. And there's other vegetables you could add in, tomatoes might be nice.
So this gave me strength to haul the plant out to the car, I'd brought it downstairs last evening, that was exciting, and Gary helped realign the car seat today to let the plant stand securely on the floor. She was well received at the library.
Anyway, convergence happened. Cooking, knitting and winnowing. Just like the moon, Jupiter and Venus the other night. On a smaller scale, admittedly.
On the ArtShaped art front, here's where we are
There's the rough draft of the neck and the chest, using the container from the Misfits penne and one of Rose's puzzle-containing boxes, just to see how the head sits.
At this point I just leave it where I can see it while I think about the next stage. That's after I finish the head, which needs more covering. The diluted glue is working nicely, and the piece is still light in weight as I hoped.
But there are questions to consider before I continue, and a few days might be good at this point to just breathe.
And I can work a puzzle, yay
Speaking of which, are you up for a Haggard Hawks for the weekend?
A full and lovely day, very late getting to blogging, but one thing and another, you know. Happy evening everyone, enjoy your weekend.
