what's new

1. I have been trying new recipes lately and some of them are going well while some need a little improvement. My recent recipes have been Chicken and dumplings in green salsa (dumplings were a little 'thick' but other than that it was good), Easy Pad Thai and Homemade Squash Ravioli with herbed butter sauce . It was good but the pasta was a little thick (obviously I didn't roll it out thin enough). It was so time consuming and I probably won't do that recipe again...unless I use wonton wrappers instead of making pasta from scratch:-) 2. I am feeling all creative and crafty and am debating making my own kitchen curtains. I don't have a sewing machine so I may have to borrow one...or just buy one:-) 3. TV and internet were out earlier so I started reading The Lion, the witch and the wardrobe. I am halfway through it. Other than the Chronicles of Narnia I like Till We have Faces and Out of the Silent Planet ....oh, and The Great Divorce, The Screwtape letters and Mere Christianity. Ok, Ok, I love anything by C.S. Lewis! 4. I am so ready to go yard sale-ing! I need to decorate a bedroom and find a kitchen island/ bar and barstools. I'm thinking a yard sale is the way to find it! So, yard sale buddies (you know who you are), be prepared to go shopping in a couple weeks!...if you want to join me that is:-) 5.Choices, choices. In June our youth group is going to Kentucky again and although I really want to go, I am thinking maybe I shouldn't...for one thing I don't want to leave the new girl at work all by herself (whoever she is...we haven't hired anyone yet...grrr) . And I'm want to save as much vacation time as I can.
