Happy thanksgiving!!

Three guesses where Curt and I went the other night...

and the first two don't count!

Did ya guess??? 

Anyway- after what has seemed like FOREVER on the coming soon menu - burnt end pizza is finally on the menu!!  Guess what this girl is having for lunch on her birthday????

Finished the knitting of Sleeves

It's been awhile.. Almost 2 years... On and off... But the knitting part of  Sleeves is finally done!!! ( Sleeves is like a cross between a shawl and a shrug- meant to be worn over tank tops... And I love tank tops) just have to weave in the ends and block. I should be able to wear it for Thanksgiving!!!!

So... Steampunk

I have to admit, I've been sort of curious about it for awhile now.  The only thing I could say I saw was Wild, Wild West with Will Smith some years back.  There are people on NerdWars and Nerdopolis who are really into it - even going to cosplay events.  I love the "look" the gears, the spats, hats, granny boots.  I like the gearwork creatures, the zeppelins.  So when curious..... I checked a book out of the library:

 


30 stories.  Some were just plain weird, some were so short I didn't have a clue what just happened.  I'm not saying the book was bad - but I gave it three stars because it just wasn't my thing.  Still love the "look" though.

John was in NJ for a couple days!

As we've gotten over 40 we look less alike..

Lunch the other day...

Baked a piece of Salmon with olive oil, tarragon, thyme, dill and lemon. Topped with Tzatziki sauce.  Half an acorn squash, baked with butter, cinnamon, nutmeg and chili.  Stuffed with a blend of brown rice, mixed veg, peppers and green onions.
