Yesterday I looked out to this welcome sight, good neighbor Gary cleaning snow off my car. He stopped by later before he went out, to see if I was okay and did I need anything, and he will start my car today. Meanwhile he endorsed my plan to skip my meeting, roads icy, unless it was vital.
I made the promised pasta with puttanesca sauce, blue cheese crumbles on top.
Quite a few meals here, probably the last of the pasta will go into a soup. I forget the name of these curly pasta, but they're very good for this sauce.
Later I made a small easy supper, starch day! Roast potato in a cheese crust, chopped hardboiled egg chucked over. In the toaster oven.
You're best doing this with parmesan and Yukon gold potatoes. I had sharp cheddar and no name yellow potatoes, worked fine anyway. Also best cooked in a glass pan, to preserve the crust.
And Textiles and Tea featured a weaver who, among creating complex double weave structures, also upcycles by not only cutting old fabric into narrow strips to reweave, but actually harvesting silk thread from old kimonos to reweave. You'll see two examples of this in the pictures. She also does all kinds of other complicated weaving as you see. And dyeing.
