I haven't posted in a loooong time, but think it's time I get back into posting for fun too. Today I tried a new recipe from Vegan Dad, it's a recipe for Bourbon Glazed Acorn Squash. Sounds exotic!
There was half of a huge squash leftover in the fridge, and no bourbon, so I used Capt'n Spiced Rum instead. The glaze mixture was delicious and tasted like hot buttered rum batter. I could have eaten the whole bowl minus the squash and spoon, but didn't. I served the roasted squash on a bed of quinoa along side an organic salad, ingredients from Full Circle Farm, drizzled with smoked tomato dressing. I didn't plan the table cloth to coordinate. That was a happy accident.

This was a super quick knit. Slightly challenging to decipher how to sew, but ok if you trust the pattern.

They're finished and on my feet. Are all handknit socks this comfy? Or is it because I have spent so much time knitting them and I love them so much?

The results are in and California's proposition 2 wins! A huge step in the right direction, a long way from where we need to be.

We have talked for many years about moving or building or remodelling and finally did something about it. The addition started July 3rd and it's a long way until completion yet. Mid October is already here and it's been 5 weeks since our kitchen was torn out. My husband and his father busted their humps for 2 months straight before the slow burnout began. His father has since headed home and we're slowly making progress. Last night there was a glimmer of hope for the kitchen, as the oven was put into place.
