Just a quick one, as the husband is waiting for me to close up the 'puter and spend some time with him. I had planned to spend some time working on the blog graphics (almost done!) today, but got caught up in sorting through all* my material. So I did that all day...first step to reclaiming the basement studio! I also got some books put out at the curb (outdated computer books), so that was another big step. Maybe I'll get some work done during naptime tomorrow? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, geez, I kill myself with the funny.

Also, today was "Try Something Tuesday," where I fix something new for Becky and Zack. And this week, for me, too! I braised country ribs in the slow cooker (not the new-for-me part, but nummy), baked up some potatoes (still not the new-for-me part), and -- Mom, Dad, please make sure you're sitting down -- made up some fresh snap beans. And ate LOTS of them. How come you guys never told me how delicious fresh beans are? ::ducking and running:: Here's a pic of my lovely, well-balanced meal:



All I did to the beans was give them a quick (5 min.) blanch in heavily salted water, then put on a pat of butter and some onion powder. The intarwubs taught me how. Love you, intarwubs. And now I'm going to fetch a bowl of fresh homemade strawberry vanilla ice cream and watch some TV with my honey.

*Where "all" includes none of my quilting material. Are fat quarters like the sock yarn of the quilting world?
