I woke up to a little post rally tristesse, so I thought a bit of earlyish music would be good. Bach and Handel aren't exactly early, but they work on recorders so I'm not arguing.
And here's nature's gray scale shadow art on the kitchen wall yesterday.
Meanwhile the knitting is a work in progress, so much to do, will the yarn make it, cue ominous music.
Last night was a study in not knitting while tired. I finished the cuff and checked what stitch pattern to continue in, blessedly the original knitter had chosen plain stocking stitch.
Looked back at the pattern which explained how to work the heel, so I started on that and had completed several rows, interesting learning, before I dimly realized I was ahead of myself. Then I noticed the small print explaining I needed to knit seven inches of stocking stitch before embarking on the heel. Duh.
It's the knitting equivalent of turning over two pages in the recipe book. So I unraveled back to the cuff, arghghg, and knitted several correct rows so as to avoid doing that again today. That's certainly a first for me.
In more successful areas, I'm very happy with the lentil tofu. Today's dipping sauce was adapted from that garlic yogurt sauce I made for the fritters. As is, it doubles as a green salad dressing. Then with added ketchup and vinegar, it made an interesting new dipping sauce.
I like sauces and for my next trick, I'm going to make Wil Yeung's pasta with white sauce using cashews, which I've added to my misfits order. It's ages since I used cashews, the Swiss Army knife of ingredients. And penne is a good pasta for working with sauce.
Happy day, everyone! Keep on resisting -- you see how many we are. Next to take back at least the House, and aim for the Senate, too.
Try not to turn two pages at once
