My yarn just came in the mail this morning. It's wonderful! I ordered from Knit Picks. And it came only 2 days after I ordered it. They get a Gold Star for fast delivery! I bought 3 different types. So far my favorite for an afghan or bedspread for a someone special whom I can't mention because they may read my blog... ;-) is called BULKY WEIGHT 75% Pima Cotton & 25%Acrylic SO SOFT! The other 2 are of Pima Cotton blends also. All are SOFT. Shine Worsted & Comfy Worsted.
Now I'm off to Home Depot to get a new Picnic Table... Then to buy the Shrimp for the salad I'm fixing for the Family Reunion. Then I head to the garden to pick Roma Tomatoes for Salsa & Taco Bean Dip which is also for the Family Reunion. But I'm having a hard time trying to come up with a dessert I can fix...Hmm...Off to the Recipe Box
& Cookbooks I shall go. More To Come... :-)

Its now 9:44 P.M.
I struck GOLD at Kroger's! Or should I say SHRIMP!!! The Shrimp was " Buy On Get One Free "! So I got some extra...:-)
Looking back on today, Sissy was only sleepy, a bit off balance from her medication in the A.M. I called the Vet, and he said to cut her Medication in 1/2 which made me happy. She is too little for 15 MG. of Phenobarbital. So this should make her feel better.
That's all for now...

Your family reunion sounds like fun. Aren't I your long lost cousin? ;P I hope you find a yummy recipe. Can't wait to see the afghan in progress. :)
ReplyDeleteYes.. It does sounds like fun. I haven't seen some of these cousins for YEARS. But I don't think there is a Tina in the family... ;-) But I can always post the recipes I use once I find them. How is that? I can give you one right now.

Now for how I fix it. ;-)
I add Old Bay to it. To Taste.
I add extra Shrimp. I use Med. Size.
The original recipe is from Taste of Home...
I work on that afghan every night. It's going pretty fast!

That sounds yummy. I have two of the Taste of Home cookbooks. (I think they are, same company anyway- Reiman publications?) I love shrimp. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteYour More Then Welcome!
ReplyDeleteI believe they are published by Reimans. But I actually just go their website. The LINK for tasteofhome.com is under " The Daily Puppy " on my blog.
