Leaving On A Jet Plane...or Train...........

Well today is the big day of travel....my much anticipated trip to visit my parent's in Salem and to go to Rhinebeck for the first time.  We are traveling by train and it should be quite an adventure.  We do have a 3 hour stay in the Big Apple...just enough time to grab some lunch.  I will blog daily about our daily adventures.....we may never come back..........................................................................................................

Lovely Projects

I love the young Scottish designer Ysolda Teague.   I just bought her pattern for this lovely shaw. I am anxiously waiting for her new pattern book to come out and am hoping to see it at Rhinebeck in October.  I will cross my fingers....if so it will be on the to buy list.   I am trying to go to Rhinebeck with a few projects in mind to buy yarn for or I will get overwhelmed easily, which will lead to spending to much money.  I am giving myself a spending limit of $200.00, not a penny more.  

I am almost finished, except for binding off the neckline and sewing on the wooden buttons for the owl eyes of Addy's owl sweater.  It is soooo cute.  With little boots and tights, and this owl hat

from Spud and Chloe.....picture time!

Roasted Vitamin A

I love red heads.....and I love the color of carrots. This is the simplest way to cook them. Trust me you will eat them no other way. I didn't get a chance to take a picture of them in the roasted state because the scoundrels at the house swept in before I had a chance.

Ingredients


1 bag of baby carrots
Olive oil to coat
Sea salt to taste
A sprinkling of thyme and pepper. Be generous now.

Place them on a pan and toss with oil and herbs. Bake at 350 until they are wrinkly like your grandma.

Peach Deliciousness

The last of the seasons peaches were in the store this week. Amazingly these were the best I have tasted. They actually tasted like the peaches
I remember growing up and not the tasteless things found in the store nowadays due to pesticides, chemicals and genetic tampering of our food.... That is another post though.

The recipe for the peach crisp came from
the Pioneer Woman, who provides awesome inspiration. Plus, great recipes. Try it, I will not disappoint you!
