Food ahoy, and a bit o' knit

Yesterday I noticed, shock!  Horror! I was out of things for lunch. Also dinner. And next thing this all happened.

Reading left to right, cooked squash and raw carrots thawing for soup -- see pot of broth simmering for soup, complete with giblets from the Christmas rock Cornish game hens currently in the freezer.

Then at the back of the stove baby bella mushrooms sauteeing in butter, next to the pot of basmati rice cooking for stirfry. Front left delicious smelling onions and scallions for stirfry.

and here's lunch, with more for today, stir fry

And here's a lovely silky squash, carrot, potato soup for dinner, several more helpings for the next week.

And afternoon tea with scone courtesy of Gary

My napkins get plenty of use as you see.

A bit of cording, to use up the current damped supply of fiber, and a new bit of knitting destined for an undisclosed location.

Happy day, everyone, try not to fall down, Sue,  or run out of great food! 

Brewing up and soup's up

Here's the acorn squash, tofu and carrot soup, base of olive oil, onions and garlic, with nutmeg, turmeric, whole milk and ginger, Old Bay, kosher salt, sprig of Thai basil 

Six more helpings to come. Beautiful color. The pumpkin is still stylin' it on the front step, to become a pumpkin bread as soon as I get around to it. No bananas, so cooked pumpkin will do it.

Yesterday was library knitting group day. One of our group, Audrey Jakab with her partner, it turns out, is an assemblage artist. So here are a few not very good shots, reflection, low light, of a very good small exhibit she currently has at the library 

Wonderful found and discovered objects in new relationships, and great fun. I like the xylophone giraffe. She's the member currently making the punch hook wall hanging. No picture of her, not there yesterday, but I had cleared this post with her ahead of time.

And here's a couple of great ideas about Islamic teas. I'm making the cardamom pod one today, got all the makings. This might be a great winter project, various teas with herbs.

Happy day everyone, brew up good trouble today.
